should have stayed at home !
As the title says, and what an awful day.
It started badly as i got up late, then on arriving at the venue, got the van stuck in the mud. Had a hell of a job getting it out.
Got the new Barrow loaded up and off i went. Had to negotiate a bank with the barrow, slipped in the mud, barrow went over, gear everywhere !!
1/2 mile walk to the bank, then it lashed down with rain and was blowing an almighty gale. Had to hang onto the Brolly !
On packing up and getting back to the van, slipped A OVER T again ( it was like a skating rink ) just saved the Barrow from going over again.
But i did get a pike of 7lb, a welcome fish after a disasterous start. Anyone else had a bad day at the bank ???

Went out today too, the weather was crazy and my 2 mates had headed back home before I even got to the loch.
Decided to give it an hour with 1 rod out and just sitting in the car watching the drop backs.
After seeing other anglers catching I decided to stay and put the other rod out and got a 9lbr about 11.30, the other guys had a 7lbr,11 and 12 and then just as it got dark I landed a 14lbr so a good day was had.
Just shows it can pay off to go regardless of conditions.

Aye cheers Doug,
I've had a few bad ones too, Thursday I just got all the stuf out the car, put the bivvy together and then found out I'd left the pegs in the hut and then on returning to the loch.....I'd forgot the bag with bait and stove in it had to go back home twice just as well I only live 10mins from the loch, got up at 5.30am and didn't start fishing till after 8am...sod
