yep,,,

making snowmen today not fishing.

lincolnshire

bit of pikeing down the canal this afternoon if its not frozen, atleast it’ll keep me moving

Bishops was called off friday if you were on the open?

Plenty white stuff in hull

about an inch here in lancashire
most of the lakes frozen over about 75%

not yet but work has~naughty

Had a walk round Cudmore and everywhere is solid, apart from Arena, which is pretty clear as they have had the aerator on.
There was a carp angler and his Mrs, stayed overnight. Must have rocks in there heads, cos they could fish about 7 metres from the bank only. lol

Just had a call to say that Makins Teams of 12 is off as well.
Not sure if they will still do an open on phase 2&3, breaking ice? if anyone knows let me know?

Oh well, better get the hooklength box out the garage and make some more up !! lol

No snow yet,sunny surrey.

Maybe a little look at your local rivers might give you all the chance of a few fish or two, checked my local river , The Brue, and it’s flowing nicely, NO sign of ice or snow

Earlswood Engine frozen over,Saturday open called off,no Silvers Only Sunday.

I wouldn’t say it has stuffed my weekend but it has certainly made an easy choice to have the weekend off and get some of Mrs Mixers brownie points topped up ~think

Ditto above!

Broke the thin ice on the Traditional Lake at Suffolk Water Park for a silvers match. Started at 10 am and at 10.05 it was snowing again and by 10.10 I couldn’t see my float – not the blizzard, it had buried! -4.3C was the minimum

To be truthful it was hard to see the float at times for the first hour but I ended the match with 7lb 12oz of small caster roach on a 4*10 Graham Blake float. I had one or two up in the water but mostly on the deck in about 5 foot. I had bites all day but most were very finicky and I missed as many as I hooked. I only used the disgorger once today and could have gone back in with the same caster if I had wanted to. All the fish seemed to be just mouthing the bait.

11lb 8oz won it, 2 big skimmers for 3lb and some smaller ones. 9lb 9oz was second on the waggler and spraying maggots. That comprised 2 perch for a couple of pound and the rest roach. 8lb 6oz third and me 4th.

Been on cudmore today for the w/league fished brewsters had 4 f1’s and a few bits for 8lb. Worst part was driving onto the place trechorous!!! But yeh it has ruined it cos h/brook is off 2moz and it’s given -8 2nite down there, and i don’t think next week will be on either cos this weather is here for a bit.~sick

I will go and have breakfast at the Suffolk Water Park this morning speak with the lads and see if anything is happening. Minimum temperature overnight was -6.5C and is only -6.0C as I write.

At least England look as though they have saved the cricket match. ~clap ~clap ~clap. Pity that it will all be over by the time that I get back home again.

Believe it or not, after -6.5C overnight and -4C at the 10 am start, M1 on Suffolk Water Park was only 2/3rds frozen so a few of us sat it out. Well, some of us sat it out, a couple had an early bath after blanking for 3 hours. After a pound plus skimmer caught after about an hour on the tip, I was leading the match easily, others had just a few roach on the tip and I had 2 or 3 of those as well. The last hour the roach turned up on the pole line and I sat it out on the tip – Dooh!

Anyway I ended up joint second with exactly 2lb. Not brilliant but at least we got a match in which is more than a lot of people.

Fished the Oxford winter league on the K&A at Avington. Was frozen but the roach fed well after it was broken.
10lb won with 7lb needed to frame. No blanks!~clap ~clap ~clap

hi richard, i’m over from malta on saturday for 9 days, was hoping to get a couple of matches in, but looks like the weather has scuppered my plans, i hope to catch up with you when i am over.
Mick

Turned up to fish a winter league match at Streight Mile in Sheffield today, it was -14oC our ice breaker just bounced across the lake.

Match Abandoned
