I fished a club competition on lough Owel today.....Enough said, I was frozen while fishing....we spent more time boiling the Volcano Kettle on the shore, sheltered from the wind, than actually fishing....needless to say we weren't very successful. It was great to be sat down on the lea of a bank on the wood shore, the kettle boiled, hot mug of tea in hand watching all the 'fools' out in the weather fishing away... no sign of any fish mind you... we fished for an hour, had an early lunch, fished for half an hour, decided to get another cup of tea...four hours later we decided we had better have an hours fishing before the competition finished...(we had had regular visitors to the Kettle over the 4 hours, good craic and lots of banter) ...we did two or three short drifts and went in half an hour early. We did have a good laugh at the lads who came in fishless after 8 hours fishing, pointing out that at least we were warm and dry in the wood looking out at them.
Hopefully the fishing will improve along with the weather next week....
