I get cut a lot of slack throughout the year, but fishing on Christmas Day would be pushing my luck just a bit too far.

I think it depends on whether you have kids or not.....I've done Boxing Day in the past but Christmas Day belongs to the family-no exceptions!!

Weather looks good generally, and I hope those who go out put a few on the bank!



ps I could have gone as the wife is having a lay-in, but even that promises much.......................................nah!!!

In earlier years Christmas/Boxing days were always divided between the two sets of in-laws so fishing wasnt an issue.

On the Wear there was for many years a well attended Boxing Day charity match (all proceeds to a local hospital)

However the local canoe community got wind and decided to hold a drunken paddle on the same day/section. Not content with spreading their departure times to disrupt almost the entire match they took to to towing all sorts of objects to further disturb the water/fishing :mad: Such lovely accommodating people :rolleyes:

In recent years (until very recently) I always managed to get a few hours chubbing on Boxing day

Got an hour's fishing in after a six mile hike around the lake and the usual fartoobigchristmasdinner. I was as sharp as a nail whilst fishing but as soon as I stopped I couldn't stop yawning.

There's a bloke who has been camping rather ineptly in the woods near us for a couple of months. The wife popped him a goodie bag of some tobacco/SloeGin and some mince pies this morning. This afternoon,whilst fishing, a dog had a serious attempt at a couple of slices of bread I had as bait. The owners apologised and mentioned their dog had scoffed some mince pies left outside a rather makeshift tent in the woods....

It's nice when people do things for others that are not so lucky...Merry Christmas!

Well i go every Christmas day,last year was the first ive missed for years, usually go on local canal fish punch and can catch three or more pound of roach, this year went to a local lake, weather brilliant if a bit breezy and had two nice skimmers, two crucians a pound apiece, loads of roach and perch on the pinkie.The ducks were breeding, or going thro the motions, back for dinner at four o clock.Thats what Christmas is about for me
