A few of us have an annual fishing w/end to raise money for multiple sclerosis over here in the u.k.
Basically, we get together, fish, drink, bbq and make as much money as we can for our chosen charity.
I arrived at the river around midday on Friday, made the initial greetings then set up my home for the w/end.
Tent city
Next thing was to get the rods set up, only 2, a m/heavy lure rod and a 11ft heavy action rod.
The lure rod was accompanied by 40lb pp and a titanium trace, a large selection of lures were on hand, as this was more of a fun w/end, it would give me the chance to play with different lures.
the 11ft rod had with it a baitrunner reel, loaded with 12lb mono, added to this was a 2oz free running lead on the main line, rubber shock bead and a swivel, with a hooklength of 10lb fluro finished off with a size 6 extra strong hook.
The Friday was spent meeting up with old friends, sitting around indulging in a beverage or two, taking in the wildlife etc.

In the evening we headed to the village pub, a bbq had been laid on for us with the proceeds going to the charity.
Needless to say, no fishing was done, a few of us sat up through the night enjoying a glass or two of red, watching the sun rise and taking in the dawn chorus.
After a few hours sleep, it was time for another bbq then it was time to think about fishing.
Bait for this session was to be 21mm halibut pellets and what we call “boiliesâ€
