Flickr - various pictures

Hello again everyone!

I just wanted to let you know that I also have a Flickr account, on which I will be posting a larger collection of my fishing pictures than you will see here, and some of my experimenting with photography.

I hope you enjoy them!

First video!

Here it is - the first ever KCGD video! 

I am proud to announce that this is an historic day for KCGD. Even if I've only been here for a week or two, it's still historic!

It is just a short video to explain a bit about the channel, about me and my plans for the channel in the future.

I shall say no more, apart from leaving you with the link to the video, and I hope you enjoy. Please like and subscribe if you enjoy the video and to make sure you don't miss any future videos!

Click me for the video!

Marker float

Today Merlin and I went down to Wylands after school again - not to fish, but to lead around with a marker float. We stopped off at Kent Tackle en route to buy the marker float - we settled on an Avid Carp Marker Kit which is composed of a float, two beads and two leads of 3.5 and 4.5oz.

When we arrived we quickly went round to our spots at the far end of New Speci, and proceeded to lead around and plumb the depths. Merlin was doing the casting and I wrote down what we found out. I made a diagram of the lake and numbered spots where we cast to, then I wrote down the depth information.

This trip also gave me a chance to test the camera, and I've attached a few sample pictures. I'm still getting to grips with it so some of the pictures I took were inevitably blurry, but I got a few decent ones - the wonders of modern technology!


Marker float, complete with snag!



New Speci looks bare after all the work.



A rather nice picture of some gorse, if I do say so myself!
I realise this hasn't been a particularly long blog, and I warn you that it may also be a week or two before we get out on the bank again, but I will hopefully be able to make my first KCGD video at some point, maybe on making rigs, or a review of some gear of mine.

On a final note, if anyone has an idea for a name for the camera, feel free to share it with me!
