Aoibheanns First Blank Session

 So today was the first day in two weeks we have been able to go fishing as my wife had her tonsils out a week last Tuesday and then got an infection so she's been too poorly to look after the two little ones.  This afternoon it was supposed to be warm and overcast instead it was boiling and very few clouds but we went anyway after lunch.


We headed off to the NAA and went back to Alders lake.  This time we settled on Peg 4.

Aoibheann wanted to fish on the bottom using  maggots so I setup a simple maggot feeder and hook length.  I tied off the line after the cast I was happy with so I had the length and I also noted a "feature" to align every cast to.  Every 5 minutes or so I reeled in and re-cast to reload the feeder.  As you can see on the left Aoibheann was settled with her Lemon bottle of juice lol.





We weren't getting many bites a few but not many so to keep Aoibheann entertained I got her to mix up some ground bait which she really enjoys.  She likes making up the balls and launching them maybe 3 feet from the bank lol.


Aoibheann also wanted to use her portable potty to go for a wee just before we left but somehow she was managing to wee above the rim so she was weeing over my hand as I was trying to lift the bag up to catch her wee lmao.


I did manage to get this really nice picture of the two of us just before we packed up after just over two hours and no fish in the net.  Which to be honest made my trip.  I think the thing that made Aoibheanns trip was this inch long beetle that was walking along the rod bag :).


At least she wants to go again tomorrow but we will see.
