Weekend Trip, 6th 7th October

Spent the weekend on a big Scottish loch whilst the troops were on the dam catching nothing, fish in the picture went 14.5lbs caught on a dead brown trout, about 1 hour before this Andy had one at 16lber on a ledgered trout as well, the picture is stuck on my crappy old phone, i can't text it or e-mail it from there AHH!!!

At night we had a slap up dinner in the local hotel, we were soaked through and glad of the heat and warm food, the beer was good as well, maybe too good.

We trolled a few ferox hotspots and Andy managed a 5lb jack off a hump of 30ft on a perch pattern baby depthraider.

This was my first trip on Andy's new boat, its a belter, he more or less rebuilt this boat from scratch, brand new 20hp engine, I'm jealous.



Tried out a few new bits of gear,

Berghaus Storm Goretex trousers - worked well, maybe not thick enough though

North Face Redpoint Jacket - Really warm and shower proof enough, glad of it in the cold
