A raging hooly is springing up on Saturday night and temperatures are into mid-teens. Worth a visit to the bank with an extra set of bivvy pegs I'm sure. The water temperatures have dropped following a couple of very cold nights. The reservoir is 50 acres, being the usual shape of a blunt deep end and a shallow pointy end. Assume the rest. Where would you go if nothing was showing?

The winds are from the west and could reach 70mph. Dam North. Shallows South so Ciara is a cross wind.

Ive never fished in a storm / really strong winds... My syndicate lake is pretty open and I have a pass from the missus to go fishing.... Will my brolley be up to it or am I just gonna wreck another shelter.... I use a Titan AS which is pretty strong but don't wanna just destroy it for the sake of a 36 hr session....

The wrath of god couldn't destroy a Titan AS, they are made out of 3 tons of pig iron. You'll be fine. There's less metalwork in the forth bridge. When Nash ceased production of those, three steel mills in China closed down.

Set up with your back to the wind or you'll have the first ever Nash Titan Kite.

I'm fishing down in kent and its getting quite breezy now mind you I am only about 2 miles from the sea. The weather is looking good for a bite though. I was out in similar conditions last February on the same lake and had a 32lb mirror and 3 upper 20s after 14 blanks.

I shall be tucked up safe beside my wood burner but plus one on the stay safe and good luck.
After seeing what the wind can do to 2 inch steel tubes of a poly tunnel I think you will definitely need a lot of luck and a very sheltered spot.
Hope the fishing goes well if you do venture out.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
