Fished the teams of 4 at Tunnel yesterday.

Ice was between 2 and 5 ” thick, though some pegs had the ice broke with a JCB

60 fished, it fished rock hard, 22lb won it overall.

I had 3 lb ~sick

Thought I was going to blank at one stage, though some anglers did on canal pool

fished a small match today with Ealing AC. on the Grand Union canal at Croxley (sw herts) Our preferred pound was frozen over so we fished the one below.
All happened in the last hour, next peg started catching bleak shallow on the waggler and won with 10oz. I managed 2 roach 1 perch and a chublet for 4oz and came 3rd……
happy days…….

went to our club lake broke the ice for the man in black and two others then went home lol

Had 5lb 2oz of roach and small tench thru the ice at local venue, 6lb 13oz won

Went to Willy! Decided not to fish so watched the nutters try hard to break the ice on New lake and John’s lake. They managed it in the end. Wicket keeper was on the point and his swim was solid. Not just ice FISH too. I heard he won it with 38ib 2nd Mr Radford opposite with 9ib or so and then our very own Pikey with 5ib. Johns lake not sure, but there was the odd eye’s with fins being caught and the odd skimmer..

Why is it when you decide not to fish, you spend half the day there anyway watching them. Mind you when you have Milomadness walking around with you winding everyone up. It make’s it enjoyable lol.. Well done to all you brave (nutters) souls. Gaz told me he could of won from any peg!! If he fished lol..

fished Oxford winter league on the K&A at Avington. Ice was up to 3 inches but the canal fished its head off!
10 weights over 6lb, with 3 9lb weights. No blanks!
I had 6lb 6oz.
Can’t be bad~clap

I got out yesterday and went through 2″+ of ice and had 83 fish for nearly 17lbs. House lake at Wylands. The winner had about the same amount but much better stamp to record 42lbs. Brilliant fishing

Fished the 4th round of our teams of 4 on Spey at Partridge. Only had between 1 and 2 inchs of ice on it but it had clearly been smashed up the day before with a JCB. So, i was not shocked when it fished rock hard. Half the field blanked! Only 6 anglers had more than 1oz. Pellethead did great to win the match with 3 carp and an F1 for 13lb+. padefc had a 5lb carp and a gunk for 2nd in the match. thedog had 1 carp for 1lb 6oz and 4th in the match. All winning there section and all members of my team. I fished a blinder for 1 tiny gonk that never registered on the scales. Section win as i was the only angler to catch, lol. Maximum points. Well done lads. Get in there!

Fished our individual winter league at White Acres. Drew peg 17 on Jennies and had 17lb+ of roach. Simon Poynter won the the lake with 20lb the match was won on Pollywyn with 34lb of skimmers by Nigel ‘Tourettes’ Taylor. Generally fished well with the exception of Trelawney which was won by Steve Maynard with just over 3lb!! The ice was melting and made things harder than normal on Jennies and Trelawney. But at least we went out to play!

Fished Matlock’s fur and feather on the derwent.Snow melt and salt didn’t help but got my turkey and hamper for another year.At least with grayling
it doesn’t matter about the cold.

Got my first delivery of Malmans yesterday. Made up a few rigs and won today’s open on Blundells with 21lb. Had 11 F1’s and an Ide
Floats were superb

Last of our winter leagues on the wey nav
missed a bite an hour in then had a roach 11min from time and one on the wistle for 7 ounces and 5 points !!!
must be mad but had a great day~think ~think ~think

Fished the same match as jwb above. Considering the weather over the last 2/3 weeks it fished amazingly well. I ended up with 7-15-0, 5th over all, almost all roach on punch at 5 and 10m. Nice days fishing on an excellent venue

Went sat and sun to lindholme doncaster
won sat 18lb 30 fished
Second today on winter league 13 lb 67 fished
Right enjoyed it

errr whos swim you fish beanpole lol

Nice when a neighbour lets you get so close lol

yesterday i was on the river tone in taunton, fished by french weir, had a fish a chuck on the waggler mainly small chub but a dozen or so trout as well.oh and a couple of grayling.

Fished match on Slough Arm yesterday- ice wasnt too bad and easily clearable with a pole cup and long net handle,. but…

I tried to claim a moral victory as being the only one to have a bite (two in fact- one first put in on punch and another 90 mins from the end on single joker at half depth- didn’t connect with either)

Cant remember the last match I fished when nobody caught.
