I fish right through the winter, so long as the lake isn't frozen I'll have a go

Good luck on there Andy,the swim by the gate where you go through to the woods is a good one.They come into that bay by there and go along the tree line in the early hours,ive watched them quite a few times do it

The winds picked up here finally got rods out seagulls are a nightmare,but I had a few bleeps first thing around 7am but nothing else,just rained all night and I had a banging headache all morning

Oh no, you're meant to be relaxing not having a headache
Been nice here in Cheshire but the wind and rain have just arrived, very very windy.

Not sure if work caught up with me as in getting up early every day that's what happens to me usually from tiredness,took 4 paracetamol to get rid of it over few hours

Turned up at the gate this morning to see a sign saying lake closed 😭.

Bumped into someone who said there has been an oxygen crash so likely to be closed for a few weeks at least

So after putting nearly 200 miles on the clock, I'm on a club water wondering if I should fish this for the winter or somehow find an alternative.

Gutted!

Glorious here in Surrey. Lake empty so bagged the hot double swim for me and my chum. Sat in short sleeves and shades.

Life's cool today.

Back home now in the warmth and blanked had a few liners but happy to have got out so I've had 3 fish (if you nicked a tench and a bream) in 2 sessions on a 16 acre lake with stock levels that is unknown to me .

@ Onslow...oh no

@Fivenil it was nice & sunny here this morn, cold though. I got fed up by 1430 so packed up, as I got to the car the heavens opened.....for the next 2 hours...lucky escape Odd day, on the end of a cold wind, in 3 feet of water and getting liners...move the rig in closer...no liners...nothing!

@Canalcarper71, you've caught though while still learning the water, not a bad start Today I went into a swim I know like the back of my hand, a easy peg where the smaller fish hang out, I just wanted a bite... blanked that'll teach me!

I enjoyed it tbf for me it isn't all about catching I love being outside no matter what the weather is like,and I see a nice challenge coming next season which I will start planning now,there is a close season on pools in Birmingham area so I may look at doing the traditional open day night as I used to love doing this when I was a kid

Poured down between 3-4. Chilly today but lovely sun again. Alas, no fish.
