How's the fishing going lads?

I popped across yesterday for a couple of hours, river was well up chocolate brown with trees coming past every few mins lads were having an enjoyable time and chaff was still getting a few knocks on the tip close in, any fish in those conditions will be a bonus but still good to meet real people from the forum and I,m sure a good weekend will be had by all

Yes mate, Air injected, the bottom is filled with silt and the colour is awful as its all still draining in from the land around here,

Superb. Whilst living in Northampton we used to go to Boston to catch the big boys. A stop off to get some bleak and away we went. Now my memory could well be fuzzy but I recall up to 5.1/2 lbs. Not only that we would have a bath full. Back home mid morning and started cutting. Jok.

The biggest eel i have ever seen was dead on the bank after they dredged the canal up by Burton Hastings back in the early 1980`s this thing was huge, possibly 3" thick and easily 3ft long

When we wer kids we wer only allowed to go for eels if we had a good day the tin bath was for the eels we couldn’t hav bath for at least 3 days

Took my boys dropshotting on canal had deadbait roach and smelt and prawn was a misty damp start. Lost a jack, then few more goes and my eldest landed his first jack pike on a small roach. Youngest seemed to get the hang of casting and jigging had a follow in but no cigar. I may now invest in a dropshot rod as my spinner is something like 8//20g and it was clunking more than twitching lol. Still I enjoyed , especially the catch. I could've stayed all day . 

[Chaff 3,621]

F**k that !

Even the backwaters are ripping, so I'll just stop here lol
