Well I managed to get out on one of my favourite drains yesterday... unfortunately the larger fish didn't want to play. It started off ok (McDonald's breakfast!) but soon turned to farce once I arrived at my chosen swim and the 'light' rain the Met Office had predicted turned out to be bloody heavy. I washed my two piece suit in the summer (having used it for two seasons) and re-waterproofed it with a spray from a camping shop... unfortunately it didn't do the biz and within half hour I was soaked!
Still the boys seemed to enjoy themselves...
Anyway in the end I did manage to catch a couple of fish (a couple approximately 5-6lbs) so at least I avoided a blank. The drain I fished still had some weed about in the shallower areas and once it started running off I had to sink the rod tips to avoid false runs from the lily pads etc coming down on the surface
Well it's back to work for the week tomorrow, hopefully the missus will allow me to go again next Saturday... I could really do with connecting with a decent 15lb+ fish!
