FISHMAN

Well-known member
went up to derwent today to try my new sonik sk4 rod out, rod is first class and well worth the money especially with the half price offer on at the moment.fishing wasent bad either got me bag of 8 all good fish best 9lb 13oz also got one of the tiger trout they have put in on got it to the net twice but wouldent fit in then it done off and through the hook.got most of the fish off the top with a black hopper tiger trout took a dawsons.why is it always the big ones that get away.
 
9lb is some size fish.
I have seven receipts for seven days fishing- so my next trip is free. I,m saving it for a day when my sons back at school and i can have all day to myself.

PS those hoppers keep you on your toes when the fish comes up. I caught a perch on one last time i was up. It was in the bay of plenty in shallow water.
 
think i nearly have 7 tickets now, fished well yesterday bloke about 75yds along bank had plenty fish but guy in between us was getting just the odd fish your right about the hoppers they were comeing out the water like tornados at them then they changed and were just sucking them off the top. good first trip with new rod any way gave it a good testing and past with flying colours.
 
nice one mate canny days fishing ya had know what you mean about the big ones always getting away lost a few big fish off the beachers in the surf but thats fishing for ya.
 
every man to there own. no rod is worth hundreds of quid but we pay it. you may like one rod and someone eles may not.

enjoy your new rod mate and i hope you catch many fish.
