Tackle reviewsAugust 19, 2005 6:56 pm

On Thursday 8th August my pole sections arrived from Dave at Oham lakes and the next day I went to Davies Angling in Staines to see Stuart with a view to buying the kit to elasticate the new sections. Stuart was not there but I spoke to Vince Davies and asked his advice. He sold me what I needed and fitted everything while I waited, the total bill only came to £20. This is how all tackle shops should be, what a shame that Vince is leaving the retail side of the tackle trade.

Week three of the summer holidays began with another outing to Frobury fishery with Reading Connexions. This time they provided a minibus ably driven by Tom Woolmer who had just passed his minibus test. It was a pleasant change to have someone else to do the driving, at least from Reading to Kingsclere and back. All three lads caught plenty of fish including carp tench and golden rudd.

Later that week I had two more days with PAYP Slough at Twynersh, this time with just four students. Again lots of fish were caught, even the key worker Lee Teiderman had a go.
