One of the things about anticipating rejoining the angling world (which will very likely be the beginning of the 2011/12 season in June, although if the situation allows I could have a mini dry run at some point in late February or March) is that I am not going to be short of bait. This is because I have three sizable ‘dalek’ type compost bins, all of which are now full and they are constantly alive with worms so if I can’t be bothered, I need not stop off at fishing tackle shop to resupply before I go out to the waterside.
{The snow we’re enjoying (well I am, to browse social media and listen to the tv, it looks as if everybody else is complaining like Kiwi’s) is getting me in mind of one of my favourite pictures, Grumpy Old Men with Walther Matthau and Jack Lemmon. I like the scenes where they all go out onto the lake where they all have their own small shacks for keeping their bait and tackle and lock themselves up inside and fish through the ice.
