| A wet day at Crockerton Had a few hours on our club lake "Crockerton" yesterday. The weather was not ideal, heavy rain & thunderstorms  but hunkered down under my brolly i managed to make myself comfortable & set up two carp rods baited with Richworth Robin Red boilies. I started off fishing under the nearside bushes on peg 9 which is usually good for a fish or two, but no bites were forthcoming. So I cast out to the right of the island where i'd noticed a few fish moving. I was soon getting short bleeps & line bites on my fox alarms & after about 20 minutes I struck into a nice steady run. This resulted in a 5" skimmer bream that had managed to get a 15mm boilie & size 8 hook into it's tiny mouth Things then went very quiet for a few hours until I was rudely awakened by a screamer of a run from this nice hard fighting Common......  I fished on for another couple of hours, but could only manage one more bream, although this one did weigh a couple of pounds more than the last one & eventually decided i'd had enough by about 8pm. As usual there was lots to watch with hundreds of baby frogs emerging from the lake, & the usual kingfishers, ducks & geese. The only downer was watching a tiny moorhen chick which I think had fallen from it's nest, slowly drown whilst it's mother ignored it. There was nothing I could do to help except let nature take it's course. Nature can be very cruel at times.... __________________ Don't Judge My Path If You Haven't Walked My Journey...     |

| Re: A wet day at Crockerton Well done GH for braving the weather, that common must have made it worthwhile. Shame about the chick though. |
