Day 2
![]() ![]() ![]() Number 1 for
Bear
![]() It had rained
heavily in the night so Jeff decided that it would be best if we returned to our
same spot - some of the other free pegs were very muddy
or bitterly cold in the easterly winds. After once again going for a
stunning breakfast we settled at Little Hoople; today - once again
would be a challenge for the second time. Bear and I settled - however he caught two (total 5) and I remained at zero.
Jeff offered me a tutorial to check if I was doing anything wrong, but I said
"that would be like riding a bike with stabilisers" - I so wanted to fly solo -
Jeff saw the point and let me bash on.
![]() ![]() I
only became a little disgruntled when I wandered over to take some pictures
of a frog who got leery if Bear went too close with the end
of his rod. What I also saw were many carp getting to Bear and not
going any further. In
the few minutes it took to get these frog shots of Bear's
new friend - it became apparent that the few visiting carp proved
it was TIME TO MOVE PEPE.
![]() Twenty minutes after Pepe moved - her
first chap - my account is open.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There was a considerable amount of
stroking involved in my second catch = no cheesy grins at all........ Too
worried to try for a professional / photographic hold - actually all I
wanted to do was revel in my new personal best (PB) - 28
pounds.
![]() ![]() ![]() My third was a textbook
delight
![]() ![]() ![]() Watched by a blackbird and some painted
turtles - Tally Bear 5. Pepe 3. Heaviest = Pepe's 28
pounder
ALL IN ALL THINGS MEMORIES
ARE MADE OF
TERRIFIC
