Anyone mad enough?

[Connor Smith]

Has anyone been mad enough to get out in this weather we've had since the start of the year?
Looks like it's warming up over the next few days but I can't get out until about 10 days myself but looking forward to finally going. Hopefully the weather stays mild enough.

I'm desperate to get out as my car has been off the road and with Christmas duties too, i'll be out as soon as this wind eases.

I've only been fishing three times this year. You can add another four times from Christmas Eve to New Years Eve. It may well have been more if I hadn't been herding posh chickens six times in the same period.

I'm out every Sunday....
No matter what!!.
The weather has never bothered me.

I have been out most days including Christmas day grayling and chub fishing yesterday I was on the river Wyre with a friend we both caught a few decent chub. If you are going out please take some food for the birds, sliced apples, seed, currents etc, they need our help.

A pair of heated socks, 2 Zippo hand warmers, a balaclava and a flask of coffee.
And id tackle the antarctic..

I’ll be out tomorrow after work. Can’t wait.

I’ve been out the last 2 Saturdays. On both occasions it was around -1 degrees on packing up, with my landing net frozen to the riverbank.

Saturday caught my first 5lb Chub from my local river Dane on cheese paste. Only took 36 years to catch a 5lb Chub from my local river. It was bitterly cold including dealing with frozen locks on access gates! Also discovered that friendly Robins, eat cheese paste

The previous weekend targeting Perch on the Severn, now that was a cold day! Float fished lobworm and lost an absolute tank of a Perch to a hook pull. That fish will haunt me for a long time, as got a good look at it and could have been my first 4lb+ Perch

Well done on the Chub Neil, it’s gutting when you loose a good Perch! I’ve probably lost more good’ns than I’ve managed to catch! And that’s very few I Only seem to loose the Perch.
