Don't forget a large roll of gaffer tape and plenty of spare sections.
A decent bungee cord is handy as well, along with a big wooden stake.
Drive the stake into the bank behind you, attach one end of the bungee to it and the other end round your waist, should stop you getting disqualified for watersking. Image
Never let go of a rod, you may never see it again. :o

It has been known for John Bennett to stand behind new anglers and break a large dry branch while Malc takes photos of their facial expressions. Image Image Image Image Image Image

Its amazing how much a branch sounds like a pole when it breaks. Image Image Image

I think there was some womens wetter fishing peg 34 who turned round to get something for a few seconds and didnt hold his rod. When he looked back his rod was heading for the lilies. Image Image Image Image

Even the Mighty Swimming Malc couldnt find it. He did find several top kits though. :o :o :o

Never Ever take your hand off your rod.  Image
