A bank holiday usually means an extra day fishing. But not for me, I dont fish them! something I've done for years, the reason is rammed banks, and to much racket for some peace and quiet, would rather take the opportunity to earn some more points with the missus, so if your out over the weekend, best of luck, and hope you get one!
Now, I did get out last Friday evening, finished work, and once again was setting up in the swim I wanted by 4pm, a rather lovely evening, and pretty much the lake to myself, result!
After getting the home set up, and yes, I know, I take far to much stuff for a overnighter, but, still better to be comfortable, then at least I can get focused on the fishing, I sat back and relaxed, not for long thou, a call from the wife, had me reeling in, and opening the gate to let her in to deliver dinner!(she is allowed to be on the venue) Gina had driven down to share a few hours on the bank, and enjoy Savaloy and Chips alfresco style!
After saying goodnight, I was back in the swim, setting the traps, and hoping for a fish or two to put in an appearance, the late evening bats where still busy darting about, and the odd visit from a small field mouse looking for some crumbs, was about it for the evening.
The night was soon drawing in, and the odd bleep was all that was happening, around 1am the right hand rod was away, as I picked the rod up, I thought it was going to be something small, and I was right, a small tench had taken the bait, and was determined to carry on fighting right to the net, at which point, it then let go..!
that was it, the rest of the night saw me trying my hardest to ignore the attentions of Mr Bream, and hope a tench or something else would pick up my bait!
The morning was soon awaking me, and the call to get home before the weather turned, so I left fishless, but still happy I'd got out, looking forward to getting back next weekend, and try out that new Nash Indulgence bed!!!
Tight lines Guys.
Perfect, fishing one of the Kingham's leg's!
