At Last ..... Again

Its floater season on my local water. For most this is a time of exciting takes and multiple catches but for me its when my orderly watery world descends into chaos. Out come the dog biscuits, catapults full of mixers, throwing sticks full of mixers and even spods full of mixers flying all over. Its a time when politeness, calm, consideration and peace go firmly out of the window. Mercifully the fish soon wise up and all that happens is that the floating rafts of dog biscuits draw the fish away from carefully baited areas without actually feeding. Its finally coming to the end of silly season and after suffering 2 blanks on the trot I finally managed to bag a welcome carp off the bottom. Out of 6 anglers on the water mine was the only fish on the bank. Take that! 15lb 12oz of angry mirror carp.
