a nice afternoon's fishing
Posted: Fri Jun 01, 2018 8:56 pm
I started fishing again last year after a break of about 12 years and got the bug so much that this year I've joined a local club.
So far it's going quite well. I've been fishing for carp and after 4 visits I've caught 8 over 10 pounds (i.e. 'doubles' as anglers call them) and last Wednesday I finally caught one over 20 pounds (actually 20 1/2) - never done that before so rather chuffed! Took me about 15 minutes to land it and it broke my landing net
here's a pic of me and it:

I got two more doubles that day plus a 9 pounder, this one was 14 1/2 pounds and I got one at 10 1/4 pounds,

I've got a new net now so just need to find an afternoon to go back for another go! After all it's too hot and too nice to be working on my model railway in this weather.
