The good the bad and the ugly

I bought a new spinning rod 2 weeks ago I got it for light spinning,lrf and dropshot fishing
it's a Shakespeare gx2 ugly stik. I thought i'd give it a run out on my local reservoir and canal
hoping for some pike and perch 1st up debdale reservoir with shannon  




and 2nd aston canal with cole (droylsden stretch)   













The fish didn't play ball but it's always good getting out with the kids and wetting a line but the fishing was bad at both venues and I really liked the ugly .          

Rod review coming soon.  

great set of pics stevo and a great day out with the kids who needs fish

Great pic's mate
Love the title, which one are you

Used to fish debdale for the bream many years ago shame no fish but just being out with the kids makes the day some fine pics mate

Yeah your right I've caught loads of 2lb+ perch out of their and pike to 18lb but it's not the same water
now with all the foreigners taking anything that swims and no one doing anything about it it's a real shame.

Unfortunately its the same in a lot of places mate
