Family Fishing at
Cornfields
 By the time we had made a picnic, tea
flasks, boys ready and packed the car, we received a message to say Joe, Vicks
and Harley were setting off. Following the Wicked Witch, we headed toward
Burnley and at some point turned from the main road and followed a farm track
with a great view.
  We arrived to see Harley was not only set up but had just caught a ‘monster’.
 We left Vicky and
Harley to it to set ourselves up.
  First, a quick look at Kaiser who had already cast. Not many minutes later he
appeared with his first fish of a tally that would
reach twenty one.
  Harry,
beside me, rose to the
occasion and soon snagged a tiddler.
  Vicks was
next to catch. Joe
had been so busy sorting the boys he still wasn’t yet set up.
   Harley took a turn
next to me as I lost quite a reasonable sized carp, grrrr, he pulled in a
monster who saw the water and took aim for
it.
  I broke my
duck and Kaiser wanted to pose with
him.
  Harley none too pleased when he found
visitors in his maggot box.
  Bear finally
caught a fairly handsome chap.
  Harley and
Kaiser wanted to pose with him but Harry not happy
to.
   Harry snagged a good sized carp, Vicky worked him beautifully, Harry
netted him and Kaiser did the pose (Harry
still not able to touch).
 Another one of
mine......
 I took one of mine
to Joe to show him “how it’s done”. This was
met with some choice words to his mum.....
   I caught a truly handsome chap and a minute later a sneaky chap Bear insisted I pose
with.
   Bear’s second
chap gave him a good soaking as he flapped and
complained, but very happy to pose.
  My final
two, bringing my total to twelve (growling quite,
quite loudly), were true fighters, taking ages to coax in to the
landing net. I’m sure the eleventh thought himself to be a heavyweight and
nibbled, teased and played. I’m sure it was him who raced into the reeds and
snapped the elastic on my feeder.....never seen an lower lip like it. None of
our fish today were big chaps but they certainly gave us a day of entertainment
 Time to go, our
car framed very nicely.
 All packed up, time to admire some
truly huge beasts .
 A pretty
sky as we left.
 Sunset en
rote to Tesco for more ‘boys food’.
ALL IN ALL MESSY, BUSY AND
INTERESTING
DEPRESSING LOSS, AGAIN, BUT A GOOD FUN
DAY |
