The day started beautifully, blue sky, sunshine, no rain forcast so we'd stay dry for a change.
I picked up my partner in crime at 08:30 and we headed out for the short drive to this new little half acre farm pond that neither of us had fished before, when we arrived it looked perfect
This was my chosen swim for the day and what a slippery customner this turned out to be !!
Within 10 minutes of arriving, my car looked like this...........
yep, i went in ! right up past my waist
thankfully my oppo was there to pull me out 
Luckily i had my quilted over suit in the car and i was able to strip off and wear that untill the sun dried my cloths (ALL of them ! ) over the next 6 hours or so.On with the fishing !
it really was a lovely place, secluded, quiet, pretty and the fish were biting, now, someone on here posted what they thought was the smallest carp they had seen, well, i reckon i can beat that
this is what our day consisted of, lots of dinky fish perfectly formed fish 
these little lads provided entertainment all day, i think the biggest was a half pound tench, but so what ? we had fun
I started of with the split cane and centre pin but my bad day just continued with tangle after tangle and it reached the point where i had had enough and swopped reels to my Altex and things got much better
I think i need a lot more centre pin practice !
this little chap stuck around all day and made a feast of the bit of bread i threw for him
cute chap.......( just enlarge the photo )
so, all in all, a bit of a wet start
but it turned out a great day and i thoroughly enjoyed myself
