Went down to the docks to see if I could catch myself some halibut today.
Used feathers to get some bait, and had 2-3 green saithe on the first cast. SO time to load for the real thing.
Made ready, and with half the combined population of Lithuania, Poland and syria as witnesses (nobody else is fishing in there, we have 3 ship yards in town that have been dumping waste in the harbour for 100 years, I am surpised the fish is not glowing in the dark down there) I made ready to cast. And forgot that with that weight on it was not wise to throw my full weight into it for a 150 meter cast, but rather to just lob it out, it just need to go 10-15 meters out...so SNAP! and I saw a good half meter of rod go flying with my bait out there...I actually laughed myself silly, and was offered tea by a frioendly syrian, who was suprised when I thanked him in Arabic...I've spent some years in the middle east, he he
well, well, packed up and went to wait for the wife in runt who were in the swimming pool...
Going to be a chore finding a new rod. Surf casters are diffcult to find here, more so when it is a Multi reel configuration I need...last time I had to rebuild one.
So I may just get myself a couple of carp rods...
