No piccys Gem i,m afraid, but i suppose what i had was to be expected. i did forget to mention that i spent over 20 mins draggin a sheet of ice out of my way bigger than half a football field. just as well realy because it took another hour for the tow to slow down after they,d switched the airators off. i had 1.5gramme on in 8 ft of water and it was like fishin the avon, a complete waste of time feeding owt. :'(

what pool wasa you on ? if it was the riddings ( the big main pool ) then thats peggy when ever you go spring summer winter day or night.there are pegs on there that will never see a carp or big barbel . A lot of people dont like matches on there as you can predict which pegs will frame and which will duck before the draw

We were on the big pool me, i think it needs a load of silvers putting in if you,re gonna have winter matches on there, at least then it,ll give ya summut else to fish for if you,re off the carp.
