Good returns Chris, shame about Paul's rod, how did he manage that? Re Photobucket it's been 'improved' recently but I now find it much slower and less intuitive to use so I'm also on the lookout for another site.

Photobucket isn't working at all for me - can't get beyond my new 'home' page. None of the buttons work - can't upload, can't change to old Photobucket - can't even see my own gallery - still not working this morning - pants. Paul broke the tip of his Greys pulling for a break - 2nd time he's done it on that rod so he was trying to be careful - had put the rod down and was pulling by hand but still some home managed to snap the tip off!

By snagging the float in some reeds, and then carefully putting rod on the ground before grabbing the line to try and retrieve tackle. What I didn't spot was the line was a bit too taut to the rod tip, and pulling the line caused the tip section to bend a bit more than it should have done I now have a 14' 9" Greys float rod.

 

Re picture storage Chris, I use Flickr on the rare occasion that I put pictures online.

 

And I had 9 chub, not 10, but 4 of them were over the 2lb mark, none quite reached 3lb though.....and dace total was 21 fish, with only two under 6oz.

 

 

The swim you don't recognise.....is the one where I had a 2lb chub, and I think you caught it again later in the day from the same place

Duh! Of course !!
