Simple Match Fishing Forum

Forecast looking good for later in the week so might venture out to Nick's on Saturday ( no match booked ) if anyone is interested.

Unfortunately I have to collect suit for my sons wedding in 2 weeks so cant make it.

Poor excuse- get it delivered

Cant its being hired and I have to go for final fitting. Not my choice Id have gone for a gortex bib and brace.

Is this a winter league match Tel ?

No Clive, that was LAST weekend at Claygate

So Tel did you go Saturday ?

Yeh but dry sunny and warm my a*se, lake was quite busy with about a dozen others already fishing - mostly feeder to the islands, unfortunately there were four guys in a line where I was hoping to go but settled in old peg number 26/27 next to some old reeds and a bit sheltered from the cool SE breeze.Started on 2+2 out in front and after about 5 mins had an F1 of couple of pounds after that it was slow but steady mainly carp and several vermin ( I mean skimmers). After a couple of hours decided to try the margins and had a carp straight away around 4lb, by now it had clouded over and was getting cooler, had several more from the margin including one of 8lb, at 3pm it started to rain and as didn't have a brolly packed it in.
I'd fished for about 4 hours, probably around 16 carp and numerous skimmers - the water was still very cold and when I got back to the car the temperature was 11.5 degrees - bloody weatherforecasters

How I envy your youthful jubilance Tel
I spent all Saturday at home sat round the log fire toasting crumpets and drinking hot chocolate
Roll on summer

Looks like Tels practice day will get him in tune for the weather this Saturday. 10 deg but feels like 7, gusty wind and light rain showers.

More winter angling!!!...Clive, did Tel measure up the lake for you to see how many cars it could take?

Si there is no point in measuring Nicks lake Clive is convinced that Tesco want the res for the car park.

Tesco's site acquisitions dept have blocked my email address
So I'm thinking of pointing Aldi or Lidl towards the res

You could go to both if you take in Nicks too maybe finches for a tesco metro !
