Been out and about though, yesterday had a lovely walk on the northern bank of the estuary in glorious sunshine ( albeit with a cold ,blustery wind ) . Another couple of months and the bass and mullet will be back, can't wait.
Found absolutely loads of cuttlefish bones at the top of the tideline, never seen this in the estuary before this far upriver. A new phenomenon or have I just noticed them ?
Another walk the next day and early signs of wild garlic growing by the stream, nature is waking up.
When I was a school, I remember getting the fishing books out the library. One of my favourites was Successful Roach Fishing by David Carl Forbes and the other day I read something about this book that jogged my memory.
A quick Google told me that a first edition currently goes for between £40 and £80 quid. A bit more searching and I somehow found one for £5.00. Delivered !
Worth a punt. I was expecting a dog eared reprint but no, a first edition in good nick. Bargain and what a bloody good read.
If you see a reasonably priced copy then buy it.
Work today then fishing tomorrow. Less than four weeks of the season remaining, get out there and fill yer boots.
