Monk, thanks, I used to fish a lake like that with very similar results. The Carp seemed to accept the cows, but scattered if they caught sight on an angler.
John, I know I should have carried on, but to tell the truth, this was our 11th day in a row fishing the river and we were both a bit tired. The next day we went to Christchurch Harbour after the Mullet (who were not too cooperative) thereby finishing off 12 days on the trot.
That was the longest stint I have ever fished and have to say that I was quite tired when I got back home.
Ron,
Having caught well earlier, and in my younger days, I would have been tempted to join the young lady in question.
Whoa, wait a minute, I can't swim, maybe the young lady might have saved me?
