After yesterdays boat trip being cancelled I decided to wet a line
on the bullshead today. I was flying solo because cole had to go
shopping for new school shoes (unlucky coley
) so I had
a great chance of catching a lot of fish which makes a change
First things first was to set the pole up so I could catch a little livebait
for a pike which I managed all on my own without asking cole to
catch me one
After 30mins of bobbing about my pike float disappeared
It wasn't the big pike it was intended for but this cracking 2lb+ perch
After that perch I managed to catch another little rudd for
a livebait.
then after that it was a fish a cast
see I can catch fish
30+ in fact
It was going well but I couldn't help thinking about the pain and suffering cole
was going though being out shopping with the girls
As I was unhooking yet another fish my phone started to go and
it was cole asking me to let him in after being dropped off by
the girls
No sooner had he sat down he started catching fish
(my fish
)
It wasn't all bad I did manage to catch my first mirror carp out
of the bullshead
Not long after my carp cole said the pike float had gone and
before I could get up he had the rod in his hand and struck it
yep and he landed it
And it didn't take long for cole to catch his next decent fish
this lovely little common carp
It was a session of two half's because the first 2hrs I was catching fish for fun
then the next 2 hrs(when cole came) I caught 1 carp and a small perch
compared to cole who nailed it again it rained most of the afternoon
but we had a cracking few hours fishing
happy days
