Spent a week working at the ' Manor ' down in deepest Buckinghamshire. Never one to miss an opportunity I packed some tackle.
Even after planting 23,000 Geraniums, unfortunately Lord Rothchild would not let me fish his estate lake which contains grass carp to 30lb and 3lb rudd. The closest I got was a few pictures over the fence.
Over ' cream tea ' , I plotted a cunning plan to go down the Grand Union instead.
Arrived at 7pm and all was quiet till 9.45pm, I didnt think it was going to happen. Thought about calling it a draw and sneaking off to the pub. But decided ' as it was killing time ' I would give it another 15mins.
Flicked on Absolute Radio and guess what was the next song ?
Yep ' Killing Time ' by Echo and the Bunnymen.
If that wasnt an ' omen ' , then I dont know what is.
5mins later ' slurp ' , slurp !
Caution to the wind and more jam than ' Hartleys '.
New pb 20lb + mirror !
Beer to celebrate.
My tackle, never thought I would land a pb with a 9ft telescopic and 6lb line.
Another from a different night, 13lb common
And before ' the linch mob ' , jump on my back. Yes I did forget my unhooking mat. I always take an unhooking mat whenever I go fishing. I can assure you the fish went back as they came out of the water, ' Immaculate ' !!!!
