ALWAYS HOLD YA ROD !!!

[rushy]

Me and Andy Mortia decided to have an evenings roving session and toddled off in search of a few Barbel.

A lovely evening, a nice Barbel for Andy and a couple of Chub for me. We decided to move back up towards the cars for the last hour and true to form I couldn't resist squeezing into a tight , balsam and nettle lined swim for my last couple of casts.

I managed to get myself semi comfortable , got the rod rest in and the rod butt sat next to my right thigh Perfectly placed so each time I reached down I got stung by nettles I'm going to make a point of fishing nice open swims in future

I had been in half an hour with half an hour left.

"Mmmm time for a last cast change of bait " thinks me " I'll give the meat rod a go "

I turned round to reach back and try and extricate my meat rod from all the nettles and balsam when I felt a whack on my right thigh and turned round to see the butt of my rod heading riverwards

I dropped the other rod and went to grab the butt , but it was too late. Into the drink it went and started heading off downstream.

I stood there for what seemed like ages , mouth wide open , before I realised my gear was being towed away by some unknown beast potentially never to be seen again.

The subconscious mathematician then kicked in .............. ROD £90 REEL £50 LINE £8.99 SNAP LINK SWIVEL 25P LEAD £1.75 BRAID 56P HOOK 38P - TOTAL £151.93

There was only one thing for it ........ JERONIMOOOOOO

SPLOOSH

And then there I was , up to my belly button in the drink , water dripping down my face but most importantly I had the end of the rod butt just in my hand and the culprit was still trying desperatlely to take my gear into the North Sea.

At that moment I could feel a vibration in my pocket and I'm sure I could hear my "Saturday Night at the Movies " ringtone emanating from some bubbles around my trouser pocket

I didn't manage to answer it as I was busy landing the rod wrenching reprobate


After all that .....................





A bloody Chub Mind you , it was a good 5 pounder !

I clambered out from the peg, boots squelching , vowing never to fish any peg ever again that you cant park your car behind and set up a sunlounger , parasol and barbeque








All I need to do now , is try and sort my phone out.

Does anyone know what this icon means which comes on everytime I switch my phone on





Tight lines and don't forget ........................... ALWAYS HOLD YA ROD !!!
