Time to try fishing.  Given our track record we had little hope of anything but within an hour or so we got a bite.  Darren bravely stepped forward to grapple with the monster while the rest of us cheered him on and planned supper.

After a mighty battle we were still expecting to have caught no more than a polythene bag but cries of ‘Oh, it’s a fish’ were soon heard as we stepped back in amazement.

And there it is.  Enormous as you can see.

And there it isn’t, one second later.

It fell off!  Aagh.  So close.  Plans for supper were changed.

We caught another later in the day but it was too small so back that went too.

We tried again.  Success!  Er no, this time the fish just took the lure and swam off with it. 

To finish off our fishing activities the reel broke.  Mike and Darren did their best to fix it but the entire insides was mangled so that was it for the time being.
