This fish had been hooked and lost before. The hook had all but disintegrated and I didn't notice the trace till I was about to put it back.
I'll feel it in the morning even with a short break to stretch my legs.

Worth the effort
I’ve not fished this loch for a while and today was a good
day to give it a try as it provided a little shelter from the ever present wind.
I’ve always wondered what it would be like to fish it from a kayak or a boat so thought it was about time to find out. Getting
to the launch spot with the gear was challenging and for the first ten minutes
on the water all I could think about was the return trip. This would be up hill on the return through a marsh, hillocks, dead bushes and a few boulders so I
decided to park the negativity and focus on getting some fish.
Thankfully the fishing was steady starting off with a couple
of Pike and moving on to the target species for me which was Perch.
The fish seemed to have a preference for the
shad you can see in one of the pictures as well as the SG dying minnow fished
on a drop shot rig.
The haul up the hill after 8 hours on the water was a pain
but I could still crack the odd smile when I was on the water.

Some good results there! Is it quite deep? I see a lot of lead there...
keep it up
Thanks, enjoyable day.I gave the margins a good look over, tried the spots I would normally fish from the shore, nothing.Any fish I saw on the sounder or caught were at between 20-30ft.As the day went on and it got brighter so that's maybe to be expected I guess. It looks pretty calm but it was gusty even peddling to stay in one spot against the wind some lead was required, 1 ounce on the drop shot at one point, 20g on the shad
