📹 Watch the accompanying video

Filmed at the water’s edge, the video shows the fish that were caught, as well as thoughts shared. 

I also had a blank memory moment, which I decided to include anyway.

I tend to keep my videos as they are, and don’t find myself recording numerous clips again and again, just so that I can get it right.

Warts and all, as they say.

🪱 Tackle, bait and tactics 

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

Drennan 1.2g waggler. Drennan Super Specialist size 10 hook.

A sharp drop-off from the margins, so fishing in six-feet of water, just off the rod tip.

I presented a single prawn and, due to the depth of water, I created a firm brown crumb mix which contained prawns. 

I also threw out loose prawns during the session. 

🦆 Nature notes while fishing 

While the rain fell and the breeze blew in, a chiffchaff was singing loudly from trees around the pool. 

I heard them first before I saw them, as two ring-necked parakeets made their way over the pool.
