I went fishing last Saturday. The opportunity presented itself to me when my wife informed me that she was visiting the Ideal Home Exhibition in Earl’s Court with one of her mates, so I thought, why not.

I’d been desperate to go for weeks; often postponed by the freezing conditions, but Saturday’s forecast was okay, so off I went. Micky was entertaining clients at the Norwich v Leeds clash and could not make it; Glen was in Prague on a short family break so I was on my own.

Not too far from where I live the earth is flat. It is a place of huge skies, roaring winds and far horizons. It's just to the right of Doncaster looking North. These northern fens don't quite have the cachet of their southern cousins, but they can offer fishing just as good.

Caught in the no-mans land between the end of the river season and the start...

3 people down for 3 days without a fish, constant rain and a quick overnighter.... perfect for me to show my knowledge and superior angling skills (LOL!).

Which I would've if it wasn't for the frogs getting fruity and constantly banging into my line, and the ducks and coots murdering the baits all night.

Wildlife, got to hate it sometimes........

Rumour is that there are a few smoothhounds around, and as the peeler are starting to turn up and Dad had a cancelled boat trip, we decided on a quick trip to one of the rock marks.

Weather was actually too good, the swell had dropped off and just a light south westerly - the cloud cover had mostly burnt off too. Baits were peeler, launce or mackerel flappers.

Typically, dad was away straight away, but the lead snagged, so that one was lost. All the rods had odd "tremblers",...

This clip was taken from my facebook profile, of which i have been inundated with so far. My fishing files and story’s of glory have been keeping me busy so busy not had time to pay any forum a visit.
