That's it. The summer's over. Anyone fishing this weekend?

[peter crabtree]

Turning decidedly colder over the next few days with a nasty NW wind.
I'll be up at the crack o' sparrows Saturday to fish a match near Worcester.
Sunday my options are a clubby on Bedfordshire pit or a day on my local Colne.
Anyone else fishing this weekend?

Might go down the local lake for a couple of hours Saturday, but if it is raining I will stay at home.

I am planning on an all day session the following Saturday and I don't want her indoors to get the hump by going too much.

I was originally supposed to be night fishing for zeds on Saturday with a mate but it's likely we'll both wimp out on account of the low overnight temperatures... likely to be doing a day session instead and then out on my own on Sunday for whatever takes my fancy.

I feel like having a crack at the chub again with a bit of roving chucked in

 

[chefster]

On the Trent with a couple of guys from work...could well be a struggle...

 

[chub_on_the_block]

I will be holding off until both me and the fish have got used to lower temperatures - i find the first few days feel really cold, but then you get used to it. Next issue will be leaves at some venues - can really mess up sessions on the float.

 

[S-Kippy]

God I hate leaf ! I was planning a trip on Friday but with the weather on the turn I went yesterday instead. I will not be out this weekend....I dont need to fish that badly.

 

[jacksharp]

Fished yesterday with leaves all over my swim so used the pole to place the rig in between them and had a good session with 37 bream, carp, roach, rudd and the odd perch. However lots of my club waters are heavily treed-in and tomorrow's session may be my last for a while.

I have an important eye operation this afternoon which means no fishing for two weeks at least. May have to wear an eye patch for some time (I shall ask for black for maximum effect!) and any serious movement severely restricted.....I'm not even allowed to bend down for goodness sake!!

Anyway, I managed to go yesterday for a few hours so that will have to last me....!

Good luck to those out this weekend Grrrrrrr


....and no, this is not an excuse because the weather has turned colder!

 

[barbelboi]

Black?................thought you'd go for one of these Tony

Ermmm . . . . if you wanted a "camo" eye patch shouldn't it be skin coloured wiv an Eye on it?

 

[Paul Boote]

Ah, Jim lad! Just shout if you need a parrot to complete the look.

 

[MarkTheSpark]

I was planning to go but the river's still crystal clear and low, and won't react well to the low temperatures. We desperately need some rain 'ere in Peterborough.

Don't knock it Mark, up here in Aberdeen it was raining when I arrived late on Monday (thanks to the fog at Heathrow) and it hasn't stopped hissing it down ever since.

Last night saw torrential rain and gale force winds . . . . . roll on Friday and the flight back down South!

Big picture, and all that, Peter, but the rainfall pattern for the next month is looking quite poor. This will not only mean the river hasn't gone through its usual cycles but when the rain does come, AW will pump the Nene and Welland basins like billy-o to fill the reservoirs.

Plus we could have another drought situation on our hands. But it's early days. I'm doing a rain dance right now....

 

[pidgergj]

supposed to be going out early sunday, but the way her indoors is carrying on might not be possible. women

if i do manage to get out i might take my bivvy, a months worth of grub, and not come back!!!

Oh dear, I see shades of my first ex-wife rearing up here . . . . .

I should have guessed when I met her; her surname was Wright, I didn't realise until after we were wed' that her first name was . . . . . ALWAYS.

Tell you what, seeing as we are almost neighbours (I live next door in Durrington) you ought to pop round for a beer . . . . . . .

Thursday 10th here in Lincs feels decidedly chilly. I can feel a pike mood coming on.
