Was thinking of going bream this weekend on the Thames and switching to Zander/Pike when it was cooler in the evenings and at night.
Anyone planning to catch some fresh water predators?

The photo of me with a Thornback ray I posted on here a month or so ago, is in this months Sea AnglerSecond time they've put my pic in there.
nice, did they give you anything for it?
i got a DAM float fishing rod worth £100, shimano jumper and £50 from the anglers mail around 20 years ago for catching a big carp and them putting the pic in their mag

The fish in my last photo were affected by the bends (human equivalent) and were dispatched immediately and taken home for food.
The fish not affected were returned.
Hmm decisions, decisions.
I'm considering a shore rod.. but something a bit better than the fibreglass 420cm (~14') beach caster I have now that cost about £20 new. Now as cainer can support - this rod has about as much bite detection as a brick.
Budgetwize it's at the cheaper end.. and so a couple of options popped up.
15ft Agility Long Surf (3pc) that will take a fixed pool and will give a decent detection. It would pick out 6oz with bait if needed without resorting to jedi casting.
14ft Agility Sea Tipster (3pc) that will be more subtle - although the tipster is boat focus.. stated as casting 4-8oz but likely to be about 6 max. The benefit is more sensitivity (although I suspect more wind sensitive too). The 14' is designed for light beach too.
I'm tempted by the longer rods because I have a 9'6 uptide rod that will belt out 8oz with a large bait, is really a 20-30lb boat rod with a forgiving tip.

Yeah, although it's easier to order, something in the range 70-120. Possibly Agility 15' Long surf, Penn Rampage2 15' (4-6oz though) or the Vermicelli Unabomber 460 as that does 100-250g.
its a bit erm, well, erm, Yellow
Banana Rod! (err that sounds rude!) All the Vercelli have bright colours. The nice point about them is that they're slim/light but still have lots of oomph. They also have a glowing tip built in.
