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.
July 2023 Blog Diary
I know that I’m a little late writing this, all was going well until I had a tick bury itself in me at the end of July and that put paid to a normal life for a bit. I’m now in my third week of not really being with it, but now forcing myself to at least try and tap a few words out. Basically, since all the swelling has gone, I have been left incredibly tired and struggling to focus on things. Even a walk up to the post box a little earlier, really took it out of me.
But for now, less of the tick and Lyme’s disease and see if I can take a look back into my July notes and transfer a few of the words over to here, hopefully including the odd little trick along the way as I try to with these blogs.

Well, I just seem to have carried on from where I left off in May. Both April and May had been particularly kind to me with some great carp slipping up to my methods.
