Big Thanks..

[phooey]

To Starvin' for taking the time to show me round your boat and kit today.

 

I went to pick up my yak andclothing but they didn't have the 2 piece dry suit or the PFD you showed me - so they're on order now.

 

Big up also to SOUTHWATER water sports for lending me a load of kit to get me on the water until my stuff arrives and the 12 1/2 % discount on everything I bought

 

hums..."I'm going yakking in the morning..."

[richi]

there's nothing like a maiden voyage Phooey--there's going to be quite a few of them over the next month-best of luck

Yeh. Break a leg and stay safe and above all else enjoy.

[Yakity - Yak - u.k.]

Have a great paddle Phooey, good luck, enjoy.

[phooey]

I spent all day, well from 10am until about 4pm, paddling up and down the thames between Chertsey lock and Penton Hook wier.

 

I didn't bother with a rod first half, but then thought why not ?

 

I didn't catch anything, but GOD I had FUN

 

B&Q and a chandlery tomorrow then

[darnsarf]

Great Phooey.

 

When was the last time you had so much fun blanking!

 

Dont be in too great a rush to rig its sometimes worth doing a couple of trips before making those fateful decisions.

 

Glad you enjoyed.

Not going mad - just need an anchor

 

No fish this time but, I did come back with 3 nice plugs, 2 decent spinners and 3 floats.

Oh the things landlocked anglers leave lying around

[darnsarf]

Result!

 

If you are looking for an anchor set up see the thread Yarak RIP.

 

Just posted a pic and description of mine which is a developement of Richis original.

Hi Chris,

 

My pleasure, glad your sorted and you've got your first paddle under your belt, enjoy her naked for a while before you go mad accessorizing her, but the anchor trolley system is a good and wise place to start.

 

See you on the water.

David,

 

That clothing you got - I had to put it on order as they havent been given any by the suppliers yet ! No Palm PFD that had to be ordered too

 

Yes, I will be torn between kitting her out with an anchor and paddling some more
