i decided to have a little go on the floating crust after the carp in waltons big lake,i was traveling light with just one rod, a landing net, my reel in one pocket and bits and bobs in the other
there was a few coming out over the last couple of days so despite the unfavourable conditions i was optimistic
the golden hand of fate had other ideas as first cast (i hadnt actually put any bait on at this stage) my rod snapped
god knows what happened to it, we tried taping it up but it was hopeless, luckily a couple of mates were fishing so i borrowed a tip rod off mick and chucked out a strawberry boilly on a hair rig using a straight bomb.
no bites were forthcoming despite me having a couple of casts around different areas so i swithched over to a cage feeder filled with pellets hoping this would draw in some fish....again the golden hand of fate decided to piss on my bombfire and i blanked, not even a bite
took the rod back to johnos after i picked the kids up and he swapped it good as gold so at least the day never ended a complete disaster
roll on friday
