I fished a winter club comp at Kees - Vaaldam on Saturday.
I made it to the venue with the grace from above and with a few skid marks in my underpants because I could hardly see anything in front of me with the fog on the road. I made a mistake and sprayed my windows with the wiper fluid which iced up my windows 🫣
The rods were dead quiet until 10:00 a.m. because then the fog started to lift and my feet "defrosted" in my waders.
I had 3 fish in the net at weigh-in but couldn't weigh them because the cold effected the scale as it didn't want to work. We could only get points for the number of fish which still gave me a 1st place among the Masters.
