Coldest winter in 100 so some say lots of this thermals/handwarmers/romper suit/gloves and snow ploughs

Some cracking tench there. Never managed to find anywhere that produces them in numbers so I've only ever caught them as a byecatch.

 

BTW, for anyone silly enough to be out "little hotties" handwarmers come highly recomended.

Great pics Steve.....but don't think you're quite with the programme . Davedave and Steve W have more than made up for it though. Quite uncanny that Steve W and I were taking pics of the same bit of Wingham sky at about the same time, was he drinking Merlot too I wonder?

Ah Summer.....

 

 

 

Mind you winter hasn't started yet and I want one of these (though an ounce+ heavier!)

Here are a few summer pics to warm your hands against

 

Spawning carp at an Oxfordshire gravel pit

 

Bubbling carp at a Surrey estate lake at dawn

 

Carp fishing at a Surrey gravel pit

 

An Evenlode chub sunbathing on the gravel

 

The river Lea in summer

 

The river Wey all overgrown

 

River Windrush chub

 

 

But I still prefer winter

This weekend looks perfect, unfortunately I'm busy all weekend so I will have to be content with reading the reports of monsters on here! I might try to get a day off early next week if I can, it certainly looks worth it. I nipped out at lunchtime to scatter a load more balls of paste along the stretch, so hopefully the chub will have a taste. Although if the forecast is right and I can get the day off, I think roach will be the target next week.

Anderoo do you think the deluge tomoorrow will have any effect on the river or has she dropped enough to swallow it??Going to try a new bit on Saturday for Pike if she doesnt colour up and chub later on.

I fancy a bit of chubbing, but I'm not sure how it will look if we get rain - I bet it's lovely now.
