Been out since Wednesday morning on a little lake that had a fish kill last year,hopefully it's back to its old self now if not soon it's not known for big fish but used to be a good winter water.
Now I'm in my bivvy and I did lose a fish last night and I'm packing up tomorrow but it's great being tucked up in my trakker bivvy,it's absolutely pissing it down been doing it now for nearly an hour and no sign of stopping or slowing down.
Does anyone else like being out when it's like this I love it especially summer time just listening and watching it Chuck it down and had a buddy come down last night to fish till Saturday we both agreed it's nice to be out when it's like this.
Oh and I just made myself some rib eyed steak burgers and found a bloody big slug in my bag of lettuce🤢🤢 and I snapped my adjuster off my nash bed chair Wednesday morning to,hopefully I'll be rewarded with a fish on my mat this time

Nothing better than listening to the rain bounce on the bivvy.The only thing I like more is watching a mate get a run and it turn out to be a bream

Don't mind the rain, it's just not fun setting up or packing away in it.

The best part about the rain is when it stops. I hate being stuck in a bivvy when it's raining, I get bored and fall asleep.

All part of the experience, quite exciting when it's thrashing it down and your under a brolly or shelter and your dry

I HATE packing up in the rain though

Due to the Mrs making plans for me over the weekend, decided to finish work early and get 5 hrs or so in yesterday. Got drenched through packing up at 9.30 along with the long walk back to the car.
When I got back in the house she did not say a word, the look on my face and dripping clothing was enough.
No problem drying the some of the gear off in the kitchen though🤔, the rest in the shed
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
