they were stood up in the holders mate at the side of me. we had to take them down to get under a couple of bridges the water was that high By the time we got back to the launch ramp the water had dropped a foot from when we launched in the morning . what the pictures don't show unfortunately are the seats, well comfy and too! - quality.

Cheers lads, I am made up with her

Hopefully she will see her first fish on Windermere on Sunday

hope she's got a heater mate, its gonna be a cold one

Here's a couple of pics from mine and adeys recent trip on the ouse for another blank
As you can see we had plenty of baitfish around but the pike were just not playing
It was funny to see the looks of the people in the town centre thinking we were mad!!
we even got a free launch as the boatyard boss felt if we were crazy enough to launch we shouldn't have to pay.

I'm not sure why the pictures are cutting off??? perhaps one of you clever lads can explain

haha it looked bitter mate.
have you tried rezizing your photo's on photo bucket. i think that'll be the problem??????

Thats the most bait fish I have ever seen on a fish finder, we even saw them topping next to the boat

As for the pictures of the snow, you, me , the people in York are right WE ARE MAD

good to see the but blug in full sail

For some reason the "edit" button isn't on your post Gaz, so I cant change the pics in the same post, but Ive re-sized them for better viewing:









Dunno why some peoples pics come out massive, yet others are ok, but, if they need resizing (which I didn't have to do) they should be in "large", all I did was upload them to my phtobucket, and use the code straight away, no fiddling about or anything like that
