ha ha i like it lee , it would have to be thick ice for me to be able to dance on it plus i cant dance any way. ::)

hello plummet welcome to the mad house!

ay up ian, hows it going you being bagging up down at monks.

i had a few last weekend matey. getting the hang of it now. ::)
have you sorted that canal yet????

i dont really know to be fair its a bit of a tough un aint it, seems to all depend on what stamp of fish you draw on. we went up the wharfe on saturday 10 on one side of the cables caught stampers and caught on bread while the rest of us other side of the cables caught skerritts and never caught on bread.
i done ok on the two practice opens with two section wins and second one out the main list both times. im going to larford i think on saturday. you at monks all weekend.
is it good there.

yeah its ok matey, better if you draw a end peg!
i'm going larford on wednesday.
was good last week!

we were up there on sunday Dan, but at milkhouse, I didn't catch on the bread and had 112 fish for 2.10.0 what peg did you fish. Rich

alright rich, not sure what permanent peg number it was maybe 73-75 about six or seven pegs past the cables. sat on a bend it was terrible there i caught 80-90 fish for 1.11.0 none of us there broke 2lb apart from the lads in the higher numbers closer to the pub still then though 3.9.0 was best. no skimmers caught wjer we was. any caught at milkhouse. conditions was not best though was it to be fair.

It was a beautiful sunny day on sunday, a heavy frost on saturday night but the canal wasn't frozen at pewsey, although I had a word with one of the boaters who said it was about 1/2" thick at wotton Rivers (about 2 miles above milkhouse) We had the same top weight on sunday 3.9.0 but he had 2 hybrids/skimmers as did 2 others and they came in the fist 10 pegs, normally they are a bit further along! I'm looking forward to sunday though, are you bringing two sets of clothes with you this week? or a normal ice breaker like the rest of us?

i had must admit i really like it there and looking forward to sunday as long as i draw another bung hole. as for the spare pair of clothes i will do cos i hate the banks there they are horrendous in places i reckon i sat four foot off the canal on saturday.
do you fish it in summer rich i could imagine it to be solid.

it is heaving dan.
i'll take you down there in the summer mate. it is tench and skimbob soup!!!!!!

How long does it take you to get there Danny?

i thought it would, i half reckon that is why in some areas you cannot catch lots of roach simply cos your peg has tench and skimmers in and nothing else can settle and feed on your bait but conditions have to be dead right for the bonuses to have a proper munch. well have to go down and have a bag up. makes a change to be on a canal towpath where the walkers aint smoking a spliff or drinking a can of tennents super.

about hour and quarter lee, but can depend if i go the right draw place.
