What target will you be setting yourself for winter fishing?

Lord Paul of Sheffield · Nov 9, 2009

I'll be mostly fishing the river Rother around Beighton and a couple of small commercial fisheries this winter

I'll be looking to catch a few pike (nothing big) and chub from the Rother this winter and will fish the commercials with 2 rods - one for carp and another for anything that swims

What will you be targeting now th colder weather comes?

Also planning a trip to Dam flask to see if I can get a big pike out

I'll also be looking forward to spring when the Chauffeur (Corky) drives me to the Trent again:wh

Pretty much the same as the last few winters; Roach, Chub and Grayling from my local rivers.

I will take a visit or two to a local 'commercial' where there are some terrific Roach that are all but left alone by the Carp lads.

I might even attempt a large winter Carp which is something I've not done for a number of years, but the mainstay of my winter fishing is for Roach, Chub and Grayling.

Grayling from the Dane, may try to winkle out some chub from Mersey -Elwin tipped me the wink about a couple of swims. And I'm going to try to get some decent river roach - which may involve transport towards the Ribble area!!

Meanwhile Spiders and I will continue the hunt for some 2lb+ canal perch.....although at the moment we more likely to get a budgie's perch!

Roach from the River Idle

Stealph Viper · Nov 9, 2009

I am going to do some more Canal fishing, well up until they freeze solid.

I am also going to try and fish some more local matches, although at this time of year there aren't so many competitiors on my local venues, so i might just beat someone if i try hard enough.

Mark Wintle · Nov 9, 2009

I hope to spend some time after that elusive 3lb river perch.

Robert Woods · Nov 9, 2009

I'll be fishing River Dane for chub & barbel. Have given up on River Severn as don't get up in time to go...

. Actually find the banks too slippy & dangerous for me (only Hobbit sized...:j). Want to beat my chub pb of 5lb 2oz.

Ben Haigh · Nov 9, 2009

I intend to attempt to up my pike pb, from the ancholme in brigg, where most of my piking takes place. has big uns, but they are few and far between.

i also intend to try and catch my first cod, now they are showing in the humber.

oh, and i wouldn't mind upping my perch pb, and have a couple of local pools earmarked for that, if i get time. unfortunately, i never get much of that anymore. small kids, who'd have them!!!

slime monster · Nov 9, 2009

I will continue my efforts to try to catch a truly large Perch from our club waters also a few trips to the river Tone for Chub and Grayling.

Paul, dont you think you would be better targeting the 3lb perch along with me?, that way we might get some 2s on the way

Shhhhhhhh..don't want to give the venue or stretch away...they'll all be coming up after those huge crays....and then the devils will discover the size of those gudgeon!!!

A dog-spike and some sturdy rope can be very useful on bits of the Severn and the Teme.

I'll be fishing for pike on the Derwent and maybe trying a few days here and there learning to trot a float better.

Rickrod · Nov 9, 2009

I hope to up my cornish pike pb

chavender · Nov 10, 2009

i hope too catch a test grayling or two and especially a test roach from timsbury manor on the 29th

next target is some nice idle roach then settle into some derwent chub & grayling

Ian Cloke · Nov 10, 2009

Hoping to fish the Rother a few times, for Chub & Roach, the recently opened stretch, where they did the opencasting, has some good swims.

noknot · Nov 10, 2009

A 50lbs Common Carp from the 3000+ acre pool I am fishing.

Dicky (Angling Trust PAC) · Nov 10, 2009

I'm aiming high this winter and going for the predator holy trinity from the mighty Severn:- 25lb pike, 15lb plus zander and 3lb plus perch.

The pike might prove difficult, but I already know where to look for the perch and zander...

What target will you be setting yourself for winter fishing?
