This is my lure that got smashed to pieces today while fishing on the River Eden in Edenbridge. I would like to tell you that a monster pike did this damage, but it was only because I cast the lure straight into the brickwork of the bridge that this happened. I managed to lose 3 or 4 more lures during the course of the morning, with only one fish making a grab for my lure!
I had fished the Medway in Tonbridge from first light, thinking that maybe it would fish better then than it has for me in afternoon or evening sessions, I had one good knock on a soft lure and that was it; I tried about 10 swims and no joy, so I think I will avoid that stretch of the Medway for a while and concentrate on the lakes. So on the way to pick up my daughter, I stopped off on the Eden for a short session. Very low water levels and a lot of weed.

Back to the lakes tomorrow. The alarm clock is set, the lure boxes have all been sorted out, yet again, what could go wrong?
Perhaps you'll shut your fishing rod in the car door again Dad! Hehe x
