A bit more summer fun. While waiting for the tide to turn and the Bass to switch on,I thought I would have a shot at the Tope. A good laugh on light gear. A few pics and a short vid of the day below.

All you need is insurance if your launching a boat. Very easy launch/recovery, great for beginners and novices.

Cheers lad.. I don't take my sib on the Mersey, I normally just use it during the summer over in Wales.

Busy session that, quality report and pics..

Quality report and pics, spot on pal..

I've not fished the Mersey yet this year so no river reports yet! Here is a few clips from the summer chasing Bass with my mate George..Someone might enjoy them.
Cheers

Good fish Graham, well done

Not much doing down Otters this morning, had a few but no size.. thanks for the bait Kev

Cheers for that ! I received my XSD yesterday, loaded it with braid, and I agree, the reel feels like a quality item,smooth and a really good line lay. I am interested in the line protector you have ordered in place of "spider" .. what exactly is it, and do you have the part number as I am ...
