Day 10 at the
Hoople
    
The Boys; Tony and
Sam asked last night to go to Hoople. That is only fair; so we opted to try our
hand at the Rocks (the Lunker Master success
position). We knew it would be a physical challenge for us small, fit, lithe
anglers !!!! Nothing could have prepared us for the sudden freezing wind that
chilled us to the bone, then the rain fell - we braved on. Balancing gingerly in
our rocky surroundings and having to move carefully actually limited Bear's need
to fall over or in. I could just see the boys on the opposite side of the
bridge. Sam's first catch of the day was a thirty pounder (I guess that was the
little girl who had waited for me overnight). We had baited the area well, were
chuffed for Sam but he could have sent a few over to us.
 I
guess Sam did just that. I had a twelve and thirteen pound catch (Bear with the bigger)
 When I saw this face I called a Coward Card and we packed
up to go and thaw out. Tally Bear 25 - Me 36 carp.
 The picture of the
day must go to Bear and his much prized EIGHT pound
sweetie - did give him a run though
ALL IN ALL GLAD WE TRIED BUT PLEASED TO
LEAVE
A VERY BRAVE EFFORT IN PRETTY SEVERE, INCLEMENT
