The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

I must admit the weather forecasts were putting me off the opportunity for a river trip on Sunday . But a check of the EA river levels showed all as normal down here in Sussex ( Apart from the wind and rain ! ) , but spare a thought for those in the teeth of Desmond .

Jeff Smith and I sallied forth in the good ship " Finatic " and we were soon trying for a fish . The Hardy / Gildex combination still works well and


looks great I have to say ! .

But even better when the cane is put to the limit !



A 16 lb fish that soon took a liking to the mackeral.



Here's looking at you !

Nice tackle, nice pike and great photo's

Great result! I think that's the first time I've seen a multiplier with cane.. ..unfortunately I've been in the eye if Desmond but have managed to stay safe....

What a result! Is that you in the picture DWW?

Hi Chris , yes that's me !

Well done DOW.
