redthunder Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Alrite lads went the other week for a 48 hour down White Springs in Swansea . Me and the Botch and another mate Ralphy We got down there on the wednesday on the weather was ******* down :o Not much fun setting up in the rain anyway after picking our swims i put my rods out and got the bivvy set up. :blink: The three of us fished in a line so Botch was in the middle so he had set up his oval brolley as a half way cooking station come social camp after a couple of hours under the brolley having a laugh my rod roared of with a one tonner the time i got from the social brolley to my rod it was ten yards in the pads after a short tussle trying to bully him out i ended up snapping off so i reset the rod and went back for a social only to get another screamer an hour later and guess what that had gone through the pads all the way to the back After some heavy pulling lost the fish ******* spewing :blink: So redone the rod again but switched the spool on my reel to braid so i could cut through the pads if another run was on the cards i waited in the rain for 8 hours after that and it paid off with a few fish. The rain stoped at 9.30pm so i went up to the top and got changed into some dry cloths as the ones i had on were soaked through to my boxers :blink: had a couple of fish through the night 2.30am and 4.00am :unsure: and had a couple more out the next day and the following night at stupid oclock :unsure: ended up catching seven carp losing two and one bream the Botch Blanked and my other mate Ralphy blanked so i was Mr popular :yp: Heres a couple of snaps there **** quality my mate took them on his mobile.
