Would it be a case of third time lucky?
Not that I believe in luck but the saying always comes to mind in situations like this.
Well, in this case the third ‘proper’ bite did result in a fish on the bank.
It wasn’t anywhere near as big as the lost ones but nevertheless, with time running out, I was more than happy to net the bream that you can see in the lead image.
Not that I’m ashamed of a blank, far from it as they happen to all of us, but given the chance I’d sooner catch than not.
As it was, it was the only one of the session.
It’s a fine line sometimes between ‘success’ and ‘failure’.
