Well the plan did not really get put to play with yet again another flood. This flood was a real bad one the horse shoe was almost swallowed up by the river, and the field was really hard to walk across as the cows had been in there a lot this year churning it up, I have never seen the River Soar so high and flowing it really did look like the Trent. With no bait going in and the flow being very strong I would say 90% of fish would have moved down stream away from the weir island, some may of held up in front of deep lock just off the island, there was a few fish spotted earlier in the year in this spot again in a big flood water. I did have a couple of session in the likely spots but nothing came of it but to be honest I did not spend enough time on the bank trying to locate them, you get out what you put in.
After a couple of session with nothing I decided to have a go for a pike but this to turned out not to be easy with only a couple of jacks being banked. With Christmas round the corner now the sessions really dropped off and I spent a lot more time with the family which was really nice. We had a great Christmas but I just wanted to get back out on the bank. It would have to wait until the river had dropped now as I was unable to get on a still water with no transport and I had to just sit it out and hope 2013 would be a better year weather wise.
