🎣 Late to bed, early to rise and a decent perch on the bank
Although I didn’t get to bed until 3.00 a.m., nevertheless I was still up on the bank at first light casting a prawn into the small pool where I spent a lot of time recently.
The reason I keep returning is quite simple. I enjoy it.
I do find as well that I’m returning more to the campaign type theme that I used to do many years ago.
It’s not been intentional, it’s just the way it’s worked out.
It doesn’t mean to say that I will stick with that, I might go back to the different-venue-different-species-different-tactics approach in the future.
Prawn after perch is what I’m really enjoying though, at the moment.
I just about managed to get on the right side of the line as well.
