🎣 A great sunrise but what about the fishing?

Regardless of the fact that I was at a game yesterday evening, I was still up this morning while it was still dark.

There was the beginning of a great sunrise though, as I made my way off the drive to a small pool.

It’s been very tough going of late and that continued this morning.

I was there for a couple of hours and I didn’t even get a flicker on the float.

Tackle, bait and tactics 

Greys Prodigy TX 12’ rod. Shimano 3500M reel. Maxima Chameleon 4lb line. 

Drennan 1.2g waggler. Drennan Super Specialist size 14 hook.

Fished a couple of rod-lengths from the bank in six-feet of water, I presented three red maggots / two white maggots over red/white maggots and brown crumb.

Nature notes 

A silent ring-necked parakeet in flight. 

Grey heron low in flight over the pool. 

As soon as I finished, a pair of magpies, a moorhen and a robin moved in to mop up any bait on the ground.
