Striding wide along the Shagay

Checked the forecast, but as everyone knows, forecasts change every hour, and I thought, maybe the sun's shining out there) anyway, off we went. Every 10 km the weather kept changing, rain, then fog, then sun and rain again, I felt like turning back home, but nothing ventured.... and the risk paid off, it was just like I thought. Got to the spot, nobody around except one local,, so I say, anything biting, "hırda voblalar, çəki heç deyil mi," strange, in this spot roach is actually a rarity, it's only carp there, at first I pretended I didn't get it, asked again about carp, nope, not biting, he was fishing with shrimp. Untangled my float rod, and instantly pull out a little carp, didn't expect that myself, I was fishing with worm, the only shrimp I had was boiled, time was 19 : 30 , strangely there were only small ones from 50 to 200 g and little crucians, there were a few dead fish on the bank, mostly crucians, either poisoned or sick, caught one and look, it's all plucked, fins bitten off here and there, blood oozing, holes almost right through, like something gnawed on it, or a parasite got to it, and then came crooked ones, hunchbacked, deformed, little carp with crooked tails. Feels like I'm fishing in Chernobyl, damn, night and silence, then catfish started biting, the only normal ones, and the little roach too, the catfish were small as well, one pulled about a kilo. Started getting light, more locals came, they were set on carp, but the small catfish kept pestering them, and how ))))) bu ohrew naxa kutarmir, yene gelir!)) caught nothing and then went home. Result 4 kg of fish, on the way we sat about 40 minutes on the Shirvan, caught about 10 micro-roach and again those damn reeds. Bought 5 kg of catfish from the guys at a manat each, , headed home. By the way one of them had nine-spined sticklebacks in its stomach)) how did he swallow them)) the rest were eating sand sprat. and also,, we stopped by the pike canals, two guys standing with a net longline, and on the other side there was such a stench!! 5 bags of rotten sand sprat lying there packed up,, and some scattered on the bank too, looks like the pike ran out so they switched to sand sprat.
