I was wide awake this morning and, until I looked at the time, I thought I had insomnia and it was the middle of the night.
It was actually 6.20, which gives an idea of just how short the days are as we head towards the end of September.
I got up, had a cup of tea and was on my way fishing in fifteen minutes.
One of the big benefits of lure angling is that you don’t heed a lot of tackle, which works well for short sessions.
