My Christmas Session started as I was driving to the lake and being of a superstitious nature I foolishly said to myself if the barriers are up and I drive straight through I am going to catch but if they are down and the lights are flashing then I am going to blank, on turning into the A28 I saw the dreaded red lights I remember saying to myself “ might as well go home then “ it was pouring with rain Chris & Lin offered me shelter with a chat and a beer but the rain persisted so as I was leaving to set up Chris said where are you planning to set up I replied one pole to which he replied someone is already on there “ oh no “ all my plans had been shattered, Chris suggested that I set up in Reynolds Point as Andy Maker had taken five carp from their the evening before including two thirties, it was still raining as I finished setting up but stopped as I had finished just my luck I guess.
The first night I sat up until 1.00am feeling confident of a take, the temperature plummeted to -5 degrees, on waking I thought it had snowed it was so white the frost was sticking up at least half inch all over my rods, then as I got up I twisted my back “ouch “ can anything else go wrong, yes two anglers decided to set up across from me with the whole lake empty I could not believe it, then I had a phone call to attend a meeting on Tuesday so had to leave a day early as I was packing up Carp could be seen feeding in my swim typical I thought. Oh well there is always next year. Happy New Year to you all.
