After a mishap on a fishing trip when i slipped and fell while clambering over rocks at port eynon ,the main casualty was my beachcaster it took my full weight between two rocks and promptly shattered .
Well it was back to our favourite tackle shop in mumbles
When i related the story to the chap in the shop ,he asked if i,d be interested in a second hand shimano 12 footer that he had up for grab,s for the princeley sum of a tenner
I agreed to give it a butchers and this is what he produced
The case was included in the price
Then we went back to get jen a spinning rod and reel which came to £27 for the abu rod and garcia reel and he threw in a few lures and a load of advice on how to rig and use them "top bloke"
If your ever in the swansea area and you need any bait or tackle i recomend this place highly the older chap in there is a diamond
I put the link at the bottom of the post when you come down to see us I,ll take you over so you can have a butchers and hopefully meet a few local characters that occasionally hang about in there
The older chap only seems to be there certain days He,s involved in the local sea fishing club and they have a real nice twin hull fishing boat and he,s told us to join up with the invite of a trip out
The younger blokes that are sometimes there are not quite so forthright I,ll try and dig out the link to their boat trips for you
Seems to me theres summat about old country interests that bring out the best in people be it fishing shooting ferreting or growing bdooly veg the old ways are the best ways and the people involved are genuine enthusiastic and helpful
I rest my case Jacks spirit is still around and I just wish more people could be educated in the ways ,the world would be a much nicer place
