Just managed to get on the canal for a night as my other half is looking after her elderly mom,so fingers crossed for a carp or 2.
So glad I'm out I work 50 plus hours a week so really needed this especially as the wether is slowly warming up.

I agree,just get out there....

I've just come in,done the night,no other souls,no light pollution,no TV,no social media,no car noise,all you can hear was woodpeckers,40 trillion geese,and the sound of the wind...

Caught three lost 1,hey,just loved it...

Not another person fishing this stretch saw 2 guys further up on way to my spot but that was it,the only people walking up and down now are families or families on bikes or dog walkers it's great apart from the motorway noise.
Not bothered if I catch or not just glad to be out

Mate just getting out is worth it whether a blank or not. I reopen my pub tomorrow (again!) so may be a little while before I get the chance!

Some clubs may insist on a close season even on canals as well as rivers.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
