dayvid Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Started fishing around 3pm yesterday not a breath of wind but as the day and the evening drew in so the wind picked up , fortunately for me I chose a very sheltered spot on the lake , so quite un effected by the 50mph winds not so much as a blip till around 11pm then the rod screams off , yes I’m in ,good fish too, a few mins later it’s in the net , great start I thought easily upper 20😃 , any way , he’s in the unhookiymat and jumps as the do half coming out , I stop it from going any further but lose my balance and topple backwards straight into the lake completely under 😢😢😢😢pulled myself out , but did think it’s not as cold as I expected. absolutely soaked now and my cloths weighing a to , I unhook the fish put it back as quick as I can , no pic no weight , now I’m feeling the cold , so strip off and dry , then all rods in and into bed in till now ,so glad I left the 5 season quilt on my ss3 now sat here with my waterproofs on and my coat trying to catch another before I go so what lessons have I learnt as I have never fell in before. bring spare clothes, I do half the time , dont wear rigger boots they weigh a ton filled up , and don’t unhook large fish next to the lake on a slope yonny, finchey, kevtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been lucky and never fallen in , but then thought it makes sense to carry a spare set of clothes . I always wear wellies , ( or crocs in dry weather ) , which should in theory fill with water and drop off - never wanted heavy boots that are stuck on my feet . So bad news about the 20+ , and the drenching , but at least you get to post another day . 😁 dayvid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscsha Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Well I'm glad your ok and hopefully lesson learned !! The weathermen don't put yellow/amber warnings out for nothing and you fishing around trees , as for falling in surely forward planning when you set your swim up . Maybe think of your family next time you go out . Sorry to sound harsh but !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
