I woke up this morning at 5 thinking the night before that by 5 it was going to be light, well, ended up waiting an hour and a half till half past 6 when I could head off to Doordekraal. Yesterday I missed out on having a float tube session because my parents dragged me off to go somewhere else, so I was determined to get on the water in the morning even if it was raining.
I got on the water and I could see a bit of sun coming out from the clouds and thought it was going to be a great start to the day. Got on the water and fished the reeds and moved onto the wall, hooked onto a small 900 grammer and moved on to fish the bridge in the middle of the dam. As I moved across the dam I felt some drops coming down and the wind had died down drastically! THEN it started pissing with rain
! In 5 minutes I was soaked and having no airtime couldnt contact my parents to fetch me.
Sat in the rain for an hour and a half and thought there was no chance I was going to hook into something because I have always had bad experiences when fishing in the rain and I always turn out unsuccessful. I fish around the island with a spinnerbait and as I thought I wasnt going to catch anything I tried dozing off on my float tube. Just as I lowered my head I was still retrieving my spinnerbait, BAM!
I was on. Thought I had a smallie on until it came into my sight and managed to land a small 1kg largie. 
Well, that was my day for you guys.
Sorry I didnt take pics as my phone would have been damaged from rain and they were too small to land up in my hall of fame.
