”The monster in the moat”

We were three boys roaming all the waters we could reach riding on our bikes. Our tackle boxes on the back of our bikes always announced our arrival driving on a gravel road with the sound of lures, spoons and hooks bumping around in them. This was our favourite, exclusive and very secret spot. A moat surrounding one of the many castles that were buildt more than five hundred years ago at the south of the big island we live on. No one had fished in the moat for years it was practically virgin water. Add to it that there were rumours of ducklings and even ducks disappearing in big splashes. There was something down there.
