I was really looking forward to today, thinking it was going to be nice and warm, but the wind was bitterly cold, and as usual I was covered from head to toe in thermal clothing.
I really could do with a good trip soon. This one was boring, cold and not much fun at all. I was tired and probably did not fish very well. The young lad, who I regularly see there, caught loads of carp that only added to my depression. But thinking about it, he was constantly trying new swims, which probably is what I should have been doing.
I eventually got a medium sized carp from underneath the tree on ledger, and it fought like mad. Then the bites ran dry and I packed up before it got dark. Next week I think I am going to travel light, and keep moving around the various likely spots.
