We went back to our pond on Sunday, with light gear, after roach and poss tench.
We tried 2 pnts of white maggies and a little groundbait to tempt the piscnine ghosts this time for a change.
There was a storm brewing, the like of which had not been seen in some time...apparently. Yet here we were, sitting in bright winter sunshine, with very little wind. It felt odd.
Mike was telling me all about the scary shipping forecast and the emergency services all being on super standby for the south coast to be submerged, with the hurricane winds forecast, 6ft spring tide, and 1.5 inches of rain etc etc.
Because of the weather warnings, we had the pond to ourselves.
We think the weather and the HUGE drop in pressure put the fish off, (apparently it was one of the lowest on record)
Despite this, we had a couple small carp, and Mike managed another lovely tench.
A brief day, but a stunningly nice window of sun and clear skies with very little wind, in otherwise dreadful weather of epic proportions both before and forecast for after.
Maybe the fishing fairy was just giving us a break :-)
