Had my first session since New Year's Day today and I got into bother with the missus back then!
Anyway, it has slipped my mind to tell her that i'm currently enjoying a fortnight's holiday from work (we both have our own places and it's staying that way!) which was rather forgetful of me but ah well never mind, ignorance is bliss.
Started out from a mid-river gravel island at just gone 4am this morning and it felt good, in fact it felt great.
Good start to things too with eight Barbel taken on a combination of float and lead depending on the swim and how I felt at the time, I fished two swims with the second being a complete tackle muncher and a complete animal of a piece of water but it did account for the largest fish of the morning. I didn't weigh any but i'm pretty sure I bagged my first double of the season too with a few chunky ones for backup...
Back home just after 11am after getting a call from 'er indoors asking if I'd take her to see a pup which she's now bought, had to leave time to change into my work clothes before picking her up
I'm pretty sure even 007 never had to go to these lengths!
