Fishing in a thunderstorm

[chub_on_the_block]

I might be wrong, but i am sure some of the carpers that bring bring barrow loads of gear along and hang around for days in the thundery weather could have smuggled the odd dead body in. Experimenting?

I m sure most are innocent and dedicated carp anglers, but i would keep an eye on any that have their rods pointing skywards (in the style of a barbel angler) during thundery conditions, and keep a lookout for any wires leading back inside their bivvies. You cant be too sure of anything these days.

I really love a really good thunderstorm but when fishing I lay my rods down on the grass and then I will push my chair or seatbox right back away from my rods, with the brolly up, and sit there and enjoy the spactacle.

There is something special about the 'buzz' in the air and the sound of rain falling on a brolly that I really love.

Indeed its very relaxing
