🎣 Talk fishing… Go fishing…

My angling day started with the Bayside Radio chat for Jeff Pearson’s weekly show.

Plus, we also record a slot on Welsh football.

My car was at the garage for a few post-service bits and bobs and, once I got that back, there wasn’t time to head for the Severn as I had planned, so a shorter session it was.

Roach and pool are two words that have fitted together nicely so far this year and that’s how I wrapped up the hours of daylight.

After my two previous chub outings to the middle Severn, it was nice to fish another venue for a different species.

Variety is the spice of life and all that.

I caught lots of fish and, with the temperature trend upwards, that’s always a big positive.
