the Frog or Mouse

caught your attention !

We went fishing , yesterday , not the royal we. The next door neighbour and I ventured up to the ' Q ' or whatever its called these days. Really mixed weather , w/ patchy sky and humidity but a breeze , changing to ominous cloud and noise , a downpour and sound show and brief spats of rain that went right by us. We broke for lunch through all the  bad bits. Beer and schnitzel. 
Returned to the fray and met cool , almost dry conditions. The wind was patchy too. Gusts followed by lulls and the wind got cold almost.
The fish. Very little response , everywhere we tried. We struggled on.
The afternoon portion seemed the same. Then about 7 PM , the mouse ( plastic and weedless ) paid off. In approx , 15 mintues , 2 largemouth bass inhaled the mouse and dove down.
Success ! for mousie 
the frog had an early miss that would have been the catch of the day , however , just a big splash

I'm dead to-day , tired and I'm stiff.
