Another quick mission, I was going to go after dace but it was getting late - by the time I got to the river it would be getting dark - better to stay local and have a barbel blast...
First taker was the chub above and as I checked the photo the camera said 'Focus Error. Please turn camera off and then on again' - I did but technically speaking the camera was f**ked. Crap, it's been on the blink since I got sand in it shark fishing...
Never mind, the light was fading and the barbel had come out to play - I landed five; 6lb 4oz, 3¾lb, 5lb 14oz, 3½lb and 9lb 5oz...
The nine was a beauty but despite threatening the camera with extreme violence it wasn't going to work. So a massive thank you to the dog walking couple who took the camera-phone photo below.
The DMC-TZ8 has served me well for the past few years and I was hoping it would last until the end of the season but now it's time for a new camera...

Brian, have a look at the DMC-TZ80. Really happy with mine, the zoom particularly and the ability to focus at max range.
ReplyDeleteThat's the one I'm looking at, I'm a fan of the Lumix range - my only worry is will I break it, it looks as delicate as the one I've just broken - I'm going to have a look at waterproof and shockproof cameras...
