Finally – We Go
fishing
 Well, here we are at the carp lake of Hatchlands, near Totnes. We didn’t attempt
the planned visit on my birthday a week ago due to the torrential rain, sad, the
week before was boiling and then the rain, then a couple of really wintry days.
It did rain this morning but Bear promised the afternoon would see sunshine and
he was right. Thank goodness. The dark blobs on the surface were carp giggling
as they watched me struggle to set up. Note to self – make sure you bring your
reading glasses as to make the hole in the hook look
reasonable............
 Lovelies cruising
up and down, we are ready.
  Bear and
his view.
  Note the ‘blobs’
have gone into hiding. At least it’s a good excuse to sit still for once and enjoy the sunshine.
   Bear slept soundly, I only napped for a few minutes. Uh um.......a good
half an hour, then sat up and watched his line tighten, I leapt into ‘ready
mode’ landing net in hand and the feisty little chap gave a bit of a fight. In came this little cutie at
just over five and a half pounds. Time to pose with
the youngster before packing up. Pleased one of us caught – just the wrong one
to my mind, Huh........ Just telling it how
it is.
 ALL IN ALL A RUSTY
START
GREAT FUN BUT OUT OF
PRACTICE |
