I've used rechargables for a number of years from the old fashioned and totally unreliable Ni-Cad's (Nickel Cadmium) that "lost" the amount of charge that remained if you didn't totally flatten them before recharging. The latest ni-mh (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries don't suffer from the memory effect but I'm starting to find them a pain. I keep my camera gear and batteries in the house ( a cold, damp garage drains them really quickly) but I'm still finding that every time I go to use the camera, I take a few shots and they fail on me and I have to put a new set in. I checked the batteries with an avo-meter and when they failed they typically showed about 1.2 Volts but when fully charged, even the best ones were only giving about 1.35 Volts. I'm probably going to get some alkaline or possibly lithium batteries in the future. Generally speaking, the better ones cost more but they do last longer.

I had my rod tip high last time i was fishing up to the pads, seemed to work really well tbh, I've tried various rod positions over the years but for this situation that is the best set up I've found, the fish never found the pads at all and it's easier to grab the rod so I could just walk straight back, the battle was fairly straightforward after that. This was on the end

Yes mate it will always be one to remember. The bailiffs played a massive part in it as they told me where some decent spots were to fish 👌 hope to get back up there soon 👍

Sessions like that for a gorgeous fish, you can see the cheer or 'yes'.

Earith, my second fish from the water, and 24lb. Just amazing how long ago it was as it seems like yesterday. The first fish was an 18lb wood carving common
