remember last seasons first few opens with worm/joker your canal and hankat etc... where frozen up proper solid taking hell of a lot of time to break and clear the ice
and it was touch and go if it would be run. I think a few more fish would have been caught if not for the extreme weather and maybe there would be a bit more interest this year 
have you had any matches yet in the cooler months this year.with the talk of certain venues taking a bit of battering i just wonder, next year if people want to fish worm/joker leagues on urban canals if between yourself & Lee(HANKAT) Marko (strikes water) and mr Yearsby ( Dams& Locks) that the two main venues that we all fish can then have a bit of a breather and incorporate the four venues on a rotational concept.
like to hear your thoughts and others on this subject
as i know that some do and some dont wont to fish said baits ,
so all forms of constructive criticism welcome.
i am sure i could find a breakfast/ pub before and after.....
