NO ICE AT THE MOMENT AND IT WILL TAKE SOME FREEZING NOW AS ITS MOVING A BIT

At 1800 today 28 booked on Loughborough and 102 (sold out) at March, I am currently first reserve for March !

IS THE MATCH AT MARCH ON CHOPPIE

yes it is Joff.

Re March matches.

I think it take quite a bit of 'nasty' to cancel a March match on the Old Nene.

I believe they have to apply for a permit to have opens and are only allotted six a season.

Deffo on as only two have dropped out to press, I got one of those tickets, 101 on it !
Have been told to take a breaker !!!!

how did you do mate

Had just under 9lb for a section win I think ! Did not go back due to the distance and weather.
Best weights I heard were 17lb Nuddy, a 13, 12's, an 11 and a 10 so maybe there were some more weights !
I was in a section behind the band stand / leisure centre, trouble was we were in the shade from bushes on our side of the river which meant the river kept freezing and with it the line, elastic and pole, so it was a case of have 2 fish, clear peg, get ice off float, line, elastic and pole !! just could not beat the elements, some pegs were ice free and this really helped. That's the coldest I have been !!!!
So no points again, a tough weekend (what with the tunnel episode on sat), a few more miles clocked up and just like everyone else I will be hoping the weather improves so we can get out and fish properly !!!!!!

Forgot to say 54 fished it, so 47 never made it / booked off !!!!

good job you didn't win it mate

Sorry mate, got told at the draw that's how many were going to fish !
Should have gone to Loughborough !!!!
6 pegs less, also a lot less miles !!!!!
(44 m round trip lough / 170 m for March !)
ho hum

A LEAST YOU HAD A DAYS FISHING AT MARCH IT WAS A STRUGGLE ON OUR CANAL
the last two matches have both been won off pegs we don't usually use
sundays match was won off 169 next to little moor bridge

Yes, it did look a struggle mate, was there much ice, if it was just cat ice then the water temp must have been sitting at about 2 degree's which is just toooo cold !
