🎣 A lure angling session, a dusk walk in the valley and 1,111 consecutive weeks
I enjoyed my mini-jigging during the week, when I fished a canal on the way to work.
Talking of work, I didn’t get to bed until the early hours of the morning so I decided to have a late afternoon fishing trip today rather than the early mornings that I’ve become accustomed to.
With an hour to spare, lure fishing it was.
I caught perch and played a pike for about 30 seconds before I lost it.
As always, there’s more in the video.

A dusk walk in the valley
I arrived home from fishing with enough time to go for a walk in the local area.
I enjoy the strolls along the golf course, especially when there’s a nice sunset.
I take my dog and binoculars, so get to kill more than one bird with one stone.
It was a beautiful evening and I could see all the usual hills in the distance including my favourite, Crib-y-garth.
Another Saturday and another week of blogging completed
Today is 1,111 consecutive weeks that I’ve been blogging.
As I so often say, it’s always a pleasure and never a burden.
