hammercarp Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I went out today to visit one of my favourite winter spots . The weather forecast was for high winds and rain turning to snow but I liked the rising temperature the south wind was bringing. When I got there I found that snow and ice covered the banks which are steep and rocky. This was not a safe situation so i checked out some other spots but ended up going back to my original spot. With the application of a few buckets of gravel I had a safe place to land fish. <a href="http://s588.photobucket.com/albums/ss325/hammercarp/?action=view¤t=HPIM1240600x438.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss325/hammercarp/HPIM1240600x438.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> I took a while before the action started. I banked four fish before I decided to head home. <a href="http://s588.photobucket.com/albums/ss325/hammercarp/?action=view¤t=HPIM1242600x447.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss325/hammercarp/HPIM1242600x447.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s588.photobucket.com/albums/ss325/hammercarp/?action=view¤t=HPIM1244600x447.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss325/hammercarp/HPIM1244600x447.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s588.photobucket.com/albums/ss325/hammercarp/?action=view¤t=HPIM1247600x447.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss325/hammercarp/HPIM1247600x447.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s588.photobucket.com/albums/ss325/hammercarp/?action=view¤t=HPIM1249600x447.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss325/hammercarp/HPIM1249600x447.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> The day turned out to be pretty decent. The rain stopped when I set up and eventually the winds calmed down as well. All in all a great afternoon on the bank. Oh and one more thing, puffs rule!
