Here in the Sinner household, in Sinnerville, me and little Sinner seem to have got the fishing bug lately and keep getting up really early to go fishing in the local lake. There’s something really good about simply  sitting by the water as the sun makes an appearance, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Those of you who keep up to date with this happy little Sinner blog(!) will remember how upset the little Sinner was a while back when he nearly caught his first big fish, only to get snapped up and left slightly weepy and wondering what could have been…

Well I’m pleased and proud to report that he managed to land his first, very decent common carp the other day. Typically this was his first cast of the morning, before I’d even managed to assemble my own rod!… one itty bitty bit of sweet corn and ‘bingo’ he was into his first carp fight, and he did a sterling job, playing it well and getting it to the landing net all by himself. It was an exiting moment in our fishing world and one we’ll both remember for a long time – well done you little Sinner!
