Earlier this year, I got up one lovely nice January morning. It was a crisp, sunny yet cool, day. I decided to go have a ride down to the canal, and do a bit of pike fishing.
I got the spinning rods out, a couple of dead baits from the freezer (always have some in stock!), and put the fishing tackle in the boot of the skipsea mobile.
On arrival at the canal side, I was greeted with a few impolite quacks from disgruntled ducks, but other than that I had the canal to myself (well this section of it anyway) – perfect!
Within half an hour I was frozen like a brick!! However the quality of the pike fishing more than made up for it, and the days fishing certainly warmed my heart, even if the tootsies were screaming out for heat.
I don’t think there are many better tranquil experiences than an early morning start at the canal on a beautiful winter’s day.
Ttfn, Skipsea gnome!
