Prawn Sandwiches.

So here it is, May already and I havent even wet a line yet. I put that right last night on a quick trip to the canal in Beeston after work. Being the first trip I thought I'd go out on a limb and fish punched bread under a waggler. It wasn't such a risk considering the last time I fished maggot there I didnt exactly set the place on fire.
Bites came from the very first cast with small roach and chub coming to hand. They were only a few ounces but made for a interesting couple of hours. I kept waiting for the stamp to increase but it never really did. As the sun went off the water the bites slowed down and all but stopped, was it a pike or had the fish moved on?
As dusk fell and I fished half a king prawn on a quiver tip under some bushes in the vain hope of a perch or 2. And a vain hope it was too!
So the result was a small haul of roach and chub and the odd bleak in sun, rain, wind and calm. The end result was a pleasant if not cinterlating evening........ well what else would you do with some prawns and a couple of slices of bread?
