Its good you got out thats a step to sticking that the elusive carp! The sunburn thats a bummer to get going empty handed. Its happened to me a few more times than I'd like to admit. Well it's better to go fishing than not at all. Maybe the next time you take a picture of the poles they will bent in half! Speaking of which I've never got such a shot, don't want them to get away, haha.

Take care lines tight!
