Well done if you had good sport. Nothing like a good wave on Rutland to blow away the cobwebs! Last time I was down I was using a brand new boat seat and it was rough as fuck. I made the beginners mistake of sitting on the boat seat whilst crossing the south arm in a real squall. The seats been buggered since with popped rivets and the aluminium bent to buggery. My own fault.
I think that looks like the South arm in your picture but difficult to tell. Do you know where he took you?
If you were using a FAB then it is likely you were fishing washing line and the fish not too deep unless you were fishing a heavy sinking line. Glad you enjoyed it. Certainly my favourite of the big reservoirs although Eyebrook, Grafham and Pitsford are all brilliant too.
My mate is down on Rutland this weekend for three days fishing lucky bugger.
My seat came loose and fell off the bench on our way back in much to the mirth of everyone else. My mate had been filming from the other boat just seconds before and is still berating himself for not capturing it.
I just count myself lucky that I fell backwards and didn't catch my head on the bench behind. Back is still sore.
