I walked all of 30 seconds to the canal from home this morning about 10am....
Found most of the canal had surface ice enough to support a portly mallard or 2... I knew it was gonna be tough... I found an ice free section just up from a boatyard, one of several places i tend to fish regular.
Took loads of various baits... Worms, maggots, liquidised bread, flake n punch... also strawberry and crab n mussell boiles and some 3mm trout pellets...
Set up and settled down... My carp rod chucked out with a boilie tothe bottom of the far slope.. my waggler rod down the track to bottom with maggot...
Results?? One perch... to about 1.5lbs to 2lb.... on worm.... Pleased with it!!
Still happy but my addiction to angling has multiplied since i started posting last year!!
... Any advice on the above situation?? The fishing, not the addiction (I'm beyond help!!)
