Amazing day
G'day gents,
I recently purchased a new rod which was recommended by the amazing, purle5ive! I ended up buying a 4-6kg Shimano Sonic Pro rod with a 2500 Shimano Sienna reel with 10lb chosen line. I went to this new fishing spot suggested by a friend and it was a fantastic spot. I took my grandmother who doesn't really get out much and we travelled a hour from where we live. We went over hills and saw beautiful scenery. She even said that even if we do not catch a fish the drive was worth it.
We got there and there was not much people fishing(maybe 5-10). I showed nan how to cast out and reel in, which was pretty funny since I am new at it too. After helping her and letting her go have fun on her own I started to rig my new baby up. I set it up with a few lures and started casting in and out. I got a few nibbles but nothing was going for it.
About 10minutes after having a few casts nan said the rain was coming and she could tell by the smell. I found it weird she could know and then out of no where it started pouring down. We then hurried off and left with no fish but a heck loud of fun under our belts.

Re: Amazing day
I bet it was good to scratch the itch of using the new rod for the first time even if it was for only 10 minutes

It was absolutely fantastic and incredible to feel what a good rod is like. I can only imagine what I will end up in 5years from now!happyfriggincamper wrote:I bet it was good to scratch the itch of using the new rod for the first time even if it was for only 10 minutes
