After taking time out after my illness i managed to get up and go fishing at last witch is the first of many trips we have planned for this year. Unfortunately wee were up against the weather as , yet again, we had chosen the hottest day so far to fish in. It was so hot my forearms are red raw and blistering from the sun even though i had put some sunblock on half way through the day i think it was a bit late as they had already burnt.
I managed to get myself a small little bream about a pound and a half but that seemed to be the only fish of the day for me. Brian and Trish did a lot better than i did as they both managed a couple of nice bream and even a roach-bream high-bread. Even they were struggling to get the bites, it seemed no matter how hard we tried we just could't get them to feed.
The smaller fishy or fry as i call them were having a field day in the margins and scooping up all the little bits of bait that dropped short of its target and they were in huge groups ,munching the ground bait floating on the top of the water and you could see them all skim around like crazy.
It was an enjoyable days fishing but it would have been a lot better if it hadn't have been so hot and maybe we would have caught a few more fish than we did but that's how fishing goes sometimes i can't wait for my next adventure.
