Heat Wave Kills Bites But Makes Good Sunbathing

It was at least 28 degrees today, so I did more sunbathing than fishing.

My favourite spot was taken until 6.30pm, so I moved there soon afterwards. It had cooled down alot and I was hopeful of getting something in the last hour.

I used a new hook length technique, because I do not want to use pre-tied rigs anymore. It seemed really strong, and I managed two big powerful carp in that last hour. Happy days.
