Day Four.
Woke up about 10am and wasnt feeling too shitty from the drinking i did last night. Was very misty out but didnt take me long to make a cup of tea and get back out on the lake.
The day started surprisingly well as i got two early bites from the fish but thats about it lol. Yet again the day started to become dissappointing as only a few bites and still no fish caught.
During the afternoon i met with Matt and Dave for abit and they were saying how they couldnt believe how shit it was as they were getting less bites and knocks than me.
Decided to go back to the Intermarche this afternoon, cos we were gonna go tomo but were told it would shut. Apparently the 1st Nov is a sort of bank holiday over in france. So tomo i will have my first ever bank holiday thursday in my life lol. Why the hell you would have a bank holiday on the 1st Nov i have no idea, but im coming to the conclusion the french are very weird.
Had pizza again tonight for dinner, but before i could tuck into a slice i managed to dump it on the floor. Somehow it just slipped oof my plate. Dan instanylu burst into laughter and i just got in a slight mood for abit. That didnt stop me from eating it tho, as i quickly picked it up, ate it all and started to drink more beer. Now im going back out to fish and stare at a lake for prob the next 6 hours or so and not catch a fucking thing.
Didnt catch anything lol but drank more beer then stumbled to bed.
Day Five.
Starting to get pissed off now as still havent caught a fucking thing. only positive i can take from it tho is that no-one else has caught anything still either. Kinda thinking this was a waste of time in parts although i have had some good laughs and at least i havent had to work at all, but i came here hoping to catch some fish and thats the only thing i cant do. Even in this cold weather i cant catch a cold lol so something gotta be wrong, right?
Decided to try some worms as bait today, as back home, noe of the lakes we fish on, the fish loves the worms. So with this idea i managed to get a spade of Dave and started digging behind the lodge. Managed to findquite a few in a small space of yime, however they dont seem to be working either. The fish are just not interested in anything i try and give them
Kind of debating whether to go home a day early and leave tomo instead of sat morning but we will see. Theres only so much sitting by a alke for over 15 hours a day and just wait for nothing i can take.
Would def like to come here again tho i think, but in the warmer months, maybe around May or June sometime, wen the fish are hopefully more active, as its a nice place to fish and i know there are lots of decent sized fise in here just waiting to be caught.
Also i like the idea of maybe one day owing my own lake like this possibly around the same area or something similar, but preferably abroad anyway and in france. Wouldnt want one back home as it seems more appealig and attractive to be able to wake up on a nice sunny morning and just stare out across your own 10 acre lake and then just start fishing whenever you wanted. Sounds close to heaven if you ask me.
Dan cooked dinner again as i've cooked most of the breakfast actually all the breakfasts, so therefore dan has cooked nearly all the evening meals. Had creamy mushroom chicken tonight or something with pasta, altho dan cooked abit too much pasta, i still managed to eat the majority of it.
Lots of activity in the night on the lake after dinner, but still no luck with catching anything. Thought tonight was gonna be a good night as Matt and Dave both had a good feeling too that someone was gonna catch something hopefully at long last.
Ended up fishing till about 3am in the end which makes day five a long day of approx 18 hours fishing without catching a single thing. had a decent bite tho during the night as my bite alarm went off and there was no bait on the end of my line when i reeled it in. Just doesnt seem to be any luck on this lake this week, and looks like it has the potential to be the shittest week of the year for the lake.
