Two more tail walking bream yesterday, talked to a couple of locals and it
seems it is quiet common. Had about 15 fish, all over 1lb and the best was
close to 5lbs so a nice days pleasure fishing. Best of all was I managed to
catch one for my 4 y.o. grandson to play and land. He was well chuffed.

I did use a longer flying hook length and it did seem better on the day. I
did get smashed up twice and I think it was most probably carp.

Next target species will be tench or crucian carp as I am told of a "never
fails" swim and we all know how good they are usually.

Sorry to hear about the illness, hope things get better with time. But
fishing is like riding a bike, you dont forget, you just get more wobbly
