kenster is on a distinguished road
Default First ever double!!!!!!!


So excited i thought i would let everyone know!
due to a nasty chest infection i was unable to fish clatworthy yesterday and instead went to blakewell fishey (north devon).
A beautiful day and several bigger than average size with spade tails on my weight 4/5 weight rod. There was an obvious hatch on and fish seemed to be taking buzzers. stuck a bibio buzzer on and hooked the beast. It took me down to the backing twice and was unbelievable on such a light outfit
hope the piccy comes out taken on my phone and weighed in at just over
12lb's.

can't upload the piccy any advice please?????
cheers jon

Good for you Jon, not everyday you get to see your backing.
Pics will need to be loaded via photobucket, I think.
