Well, not exactly, but the last couple came close
Welcome to my first Freshwater report
Armed with my vast knowledge of the UK course fishing scene,I decided to do my bit for the community and launch a full-scale assault on Tilapia GobbicusBroodicus.
Armed with two rods, one ledger and one float, rigged with size 6 and worm and maggot respectively, I merrily set about ridding the dam of the evil adversary.
2hrs later, I was on my way home, knackered, fishless, and light 14 hooks lost to 17 turtles. They ranged from saucers to dustbin lids, all but 3 being gut hooked and hardly any of 'em registering a bite other than a slight tremble at the rod tip.
To add insult to injury, (resulting in the reason for me pissing off home in disgust) the last turtle was the dustbinlidder which struck just as I was about to tuck into my yummy prawn sangars. On gently releasing and coaxing the dustbin lid back into the water, with a reassuring pat to it's shell, and an assurance that it was welcome to bugger up my fishing any day, I re-cast and sat down to enjoy the rest of my lunch only to see it disappearing into the ether, lodged firmly in the beaks of two bloody crows! The buggers had also somehow managed to knock over my one and only can of coke!
Ah well! Look out North Pine................here I come.............I bet the yellers are shaking in their little piscatorial boots
