Holiday and business for me and Carola for a 3 week period and i managed to take in some 'relax' with the float :-)
decided to pick up my 'English' kit from the house and give one of 14 local fisheries within 10 minutes of me a bit of a bash. Decided to fish the most local which is a pub and fishery , its only 2 minutes from the bed and breakfast we are stopping at.
Had purchased nothing from the tackle shop and went ahead with meat and corn , why not, its almost 30 degrees and meat is a primary bait in the english commercial match fishing scene.
Fished some 11 metres out in a slightly deeper area.
Bites were at a premium as the fish were basking so i was hopeful of some 'feeding' fish.
Well the skimmers were obliging and they came at a good rate.
Water break , jeez its warm and it is 6 in the evening.
Office for the evening.
Just meat and a little corn
Skimmer again.
Then the margins started to boil and i took 3 carp and lost 3 and took more skimmers.
The evenings photographer.
Just great to get back into the groove.
