Memories from June 2024

I thought it time to delve back into my diaries again. It has been quite a mixed couple of months since I last shared what I have been up to angling wise.
I never joined anywhere new this year, being more than content with the 4 waters I tend to bounce between, which depending upon the weather conditions and my state of mind whilst making my final decision as to ‘where to go.’ My final decision before my weekly food shop and my food shop depends upon how far I will be needing to barrow my gear. One of the venues, my motor is very close, so I can carry multiple pans etc. I have long passed the everything on one venue attitude that I perhaps once had. I simply go where the fancy takes. I haven’t targeted an individual fish since 1987, so it makes no odds to me what get caught whilst I’m away.
I do like to have both deep and shallow venues at my disposal, as well as ones with plenty of shade, particularly for those silly hot days we seem to get here in the U.K. nowadays. By constantly watching the weather, I am usually drawn strong to one of my venues, more than another. The following week it could be one of the others.

Catch up time - long, long overdue

Yes, I know I have let these blog posts slip by the wayside, this one is so very much overdue, and I have no other excuses than my illness.

My last blog post was warning of tick bites and the nasty affects that Lymes Disease can have on you. Here I am, over half a year later and still quite ill.

Lyme's Disease - An Up-date - PLEASE READ

All anglers and outdoor folk – PLEASE BE AWARE!

At some time, toward the end of July, I was bit by a tick. I’m not sure where it happened as I am out and about every day as I walk in the wild fields and woods on my none angling days, so it may have been during a walk, or it may have been whilst angling.
