Messing about when fishing

Post by davelumb »

My eel fishing has started the way it usually does - with a blank. So I played around taking snaps.

Sunset of sorts.

A rather long c*rp rolled on the edge of those pads and I was almost tempted to put a bolie on. The a pasty crashed out a rod length from the bank and I remembered how much I dislike c*rp!

It crossed my mind that if I did switch to boilies I'd probably catch eels. I might have to give it a go. :grin:

I'd only fish a boilie on one rod. I wouldn't want to end up in this situation again! :giggle:

Now you've said it it wont work. It has to be done naturally.

I've tried the "if I roll a ciggy I'll get a bite" and it wont happen. Do it naturally then yes you bet im going to miss a good fish ๐Ÿง

Looks tenchy as hell, they're in but it doesn't live up to expectations. :sad: I've done better on a pad-less water over the road. The same for other tench anglers. :shrug:

A bit of slider pushing in my processing software. Probably akin to an HDR filter.
