Reuben Heaton Scales 21-1-17

On one of my last barbel fishing trips I noticed both of the screws out of the back of my 40lb Flyweights had fell out,could of been worse if they fell apart.I contacted Reuben Heaton on how I could purchase the two screws.I recieved an email asking for my address and they would post out two free of charge.How nice of them to do this for me..............

Thanks Cathryn,screws now fitted and maybe some more PB,S this year.

Tight Lines,Till the next time .

First session of 2018

Today I finally got out after dental work I've had to have done and last weekend was Definately a no hoper.After recent perch trips I've always done better in the afternoon,so I decided to arrive at 11am and fish till dark.Then it all went Pete Tong when I got to the peg,I lost my glasses somehow and also managed to knock my rod rest into the water.After trying to recover my rest of which I didn't was annoying.A trip back to the van to try and find my glasses and get another rod rest of which was a make do buzz bar with some butt grips that belonged to Chris I was finally fishing.Id been fishing about half an hour,struggling to see my float .A bailiff walked past and Asked how I was doing and I explained I'd lost my glasses ,within 2 minutes he found them past my peg,thank god and thank you very much mate.The rain continued to fall till around 1-45pm .I was struggling to get a bite and kept feeding maggots little and often.id taken my Avon rod today and fixed spool reel so I could cast and try an area that's unreachable with the centre pin.The sun made short appearance,it was getting colder and as it was getting near to 3-30 pm I decided to fish directly in front of me a rod length out.I continued to feed maggots little and often and as the light faded,I'd blanked.A frustrating day but was nice to get out after such a long wait.

Till I'm next out bloggers.
