This weather is starting to get on my wick. Every weekend so far has been freezing and during the middle of the week turn out decent, only for it to go icicles again


Where abouts do you live mate? I've fished every weekend since October, I really suffer with the cold, and I think I've only had to put my big coat on twice. Down here in Devon it really hasn't felt like winter at all to me. Only had 2 or 3 frosts in the mornings I can remember. Had a lot of wind, but most of it has been crazy warm double figure temperatures.

Is it just me or has this seemed like a realy mild winter?

It's a ridiculously mild winter. I think we've had about 4 frosts here in the midlands.

It's not exactly how you put it though, but we'll agree to disagree. But anyone out in it today if your bivvy gets smashed to bits then it's your own fault, although I would doubt anyone would admit it though, as essentially that would straight away put you up for a Darwin award

Bear in mind people, that should you need the assistance of an already stretched emergency service, and they're attending to yourselves instead of people who couldn't avoid a bad situation, then you're an imbecile.

And before anyone says they wouldn't call, someone might call for you?

Just my two pennies worth.

My elderly neighbour was trying to prop one that divides our properties up, caught my side just in time I think!

Reinforced it with some lengths of treated 2x4 that were for a project lol. And some bits of decking to try and stop them tearing in half.

I've started a comments war in a 70k size group of people by saying it's stupid to fish in the weather, so far I've been insulted for being vaccinated, wearing a mask at times, had my weight, business and mans culinary questioned.

Now I don't need any of the stereotypical unsavoury *****'s as customers so have pretty much responded in kind

I know it's immature but I've decided the best thing I can possibly do whilst it's physically impossible for me to cook bait or deliver it is to simply throw some social hand grenades 😂

Gonna start a “roll or breadcake “ debate this afternoon on one of the more northern dominated banter groups I'm in, it's quite......uncivilised. ( not because they're northern )


Hope you're all well and safe.

Looking at the various news items from the South West and Wales..

If you're going out in that then you really need your head looking at

Idiot swimmers thinking they're indestructible on Merseyside...

You do have to wonder at some people

I think the main question is.

Did those trees fall because of the storm.
Or WITH the storm?
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
