Anyone caught one yet?

One chub at half past midnight, just taps since. Getting the float gear out at first light!
 
Nope. Cos I'm stuck in work!

Was planning a very early start tomorrow morning and do the whole day, but we have weather warnings for torrential rain and possible flooding for the next two days, and lightning has just been added to the mix in the last couple of hours by the MET office as well. It never rains, eh!

Not sure whether it's best to postpone, or crack on regardless...
 
9 1/2 pounder by 8.30 on the opening day for me, was on the bank by 5am and heading home by 9.00, good start to the season if I say so myself.
 
washed out of tidal trent , called at middle on way home and had a 9.09 within 20 mins , loads of fish crashing , think once all the debris goes through it will fish its nuts off , having a few hour on middle again tomorrow
 
Started at midnight, traditionalist fool :D Packed up at 6.00, having had one barbel of 10.10, and one carp of 14.08. Spent most of my time untangling and re-tying end gear after being snagged up time and time again. Should have moved, but rather liked where I was (Nothing to do with the rain at all :D)

Cheers, Dave.
