  3. 3 of us out all day today. (after we got the boat bailed out) the weather was great for a change but did'nt help the fishing. 3 fish caught in total, i got 2 me mate got 1 and the other fella blanked...... we fished for a while with soft plastics and plugs but got nothing untill we tried spinners and that seemed to do the trick. and that was that !! niall_b73

  6. tapatalk is a very handy app for fourms like the hunting life. i already use it for other fourms and it means that when out and about instead of waiting to get home. you can upload pictures via the app to your posts say when out fishing, hunting or the like. you can reply to posts and fourms when on the move and answer pm's. most of the bigger fourm sites use it and as far as i know it is free for the site to use it. the tapatalk app itself is £1:99 to buy but you can get it free on the samsung apps site. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.quoord.tapatalkpro.activity&fea

  10. Your right about that mate. Anyone know when snow or frost coming to northern ireland? there was snow today in the north of ireland. "The Glenshane Road has also been described as "treacherous" due to sleet and snow." http://www.u.tv/News/Woman-rescued-as-NI-roads-flood/79416ecd-b180-4559-a799-c43062f6e7a8 niall_b73

  12. Big Grafham specimen kicks of trout reservoir predator season in style. As the big trout reservoirs open the doors to predator anglers, the first reported big pike of the season can be revealed by Total Coarse Fishing. Produced by Grafham Water in Cambridgeshire, the big fish was caught by local angler James Woodroff and tipped the scales at an impressive 33lb. The biggest fish of a stunning day’s fishing on the 1600acre venue that also saw the 42-year-old boat two 20lb plus fish and the 33 pounder by 11.30 in the morning, James tempted all the predators using lure tactics.
  13. Frost, snow - pike fishing weather on the way If you've been moaning about how how mild it's been, be careful what you wish for. For arctic temperatures are on the way this week, according to the papers. The mercury fell to nearly -2C in Santon Downham, on the Norfolk/Suffolk border. last night. Parts of the Fens saw their first frost. Elsewhere, forecasters reckon Scotland and the North could even be in for some snow this week.More on that here. Rain's on the way too, which will warm the hearts of river anglers. We posted some links to weather sites a few days back - click here i
