I didn't want to get out of bed today and when that happens, there's usually a good reason for it. That reason, it turned out, was that there were no fish around... or at least, none that wanted to be caught. I have to admit, however, that I didn't put in much effort. Other things were on my mind and this sucked any sense of creativity I might normally employee with intend to catch fish.

I did stick with my stealth prawn plastics, and probably should have tried a few more strategies, but I didn't. On the plus side, I did get to explore some waters I'd not yet visited and it was almost worth the effort just for the sake of scenery. For the record, this is the first time I've ever failed at catching a fish in the basin. And yes... tonights dinner is lacking as result.

I don't think there's many (or any) prawns in the are right now, so in hind sight, it was a poor choice of lures. What I did find, however, were some fantastic waterside camping spots, which I'll be sure to share with my son if the ex ever gives me a chance. Who knows if thats ever likely to happen. Probably not, but it is nice to dream.
