Nickyb's blogger...

Thanks for dropping by, this blogger is about my up's and down's, tear's and laughter that my interests can bring as I go about them in my own fashion..

This Blogger started through my fishing, and I enjoyed many a happy day enjoying everything that comes along with that, but times change, job changes, and wanting to do different things was to see the fishing gear making way for Motorcycles, and that is how you find me...
Hope you enjoy the Blog.

Nick.


All the best

Another Blank, and Sunburn...

A good day at work, gave me the chance to get down to the lake for just after 6, once again I found myself with the choice of swims, but I opted for my favourite island swim, so in I went,
A few casts found me a couple of good clear spots, and the spomb was soon flying with ease.
The evening was very claim, and very clear, but after watching the water for a couple of hours, I was not too sure if I'd made a good choice...
The 10 O'clock news came as a surprise, as it was still pretty light, and also no signs of fish at all, either where I was fishing, or right through to the other side of the lake.
A last cup of tea, and a bite to eat, and it was time to call it a day, and climb into the bedchair.
A very peaceful night followed, apart from a couple of bleeps, all was very still, about 4am, the right hand rod let out a few bleeps, and I was up and on it, (no 3am alarm this time, from the wildlife) I lifted the rod, and felt the rig pull clear, and very lifeless, guess the line had crossed the weed bed and been picked up from there, never mind, back out and me back to the bivvy.
The lightbulb in the sky had me awake, and it was already warming up nicely, the morning was rolling by with nothing going on, so off I went with the marker and a note book, for a plumb around in some of the other swims, after about an hour or so, and some interesting places now noted, I was recasting and thinking about staying another night, while enjoying the rather nice sunshine...Now, i should have taken note, breeze, sunshine, ah yes, after about 3 hours sitting there, T shirt on the bivvy, me, well, the words, rather red,and rather painful, spring to mind...
Needless to say the packing away was a little slower than normal, and the walk back to the car seemed to take forever, but all in all, although no fish again, I do have a little better idea of how the lakes panning out.
So heres to the next trip, might even be raining again by them!!! hahaha

All the Best

Crispy Nick.
