Boxing day began with a much needed river walk and a bit of a family get together in the evening.
Yesterday, Ben A and I took the girls to a lake to fish for Pike, (I had serious speed wobble on some ice in my truck, the folks in the nice red car behind thought it was quiet funny) it could have been minus 10, we found a gap in the ice and wobbled dead baits for an hour, it was too cold even for the pike to feed, but not for us as we rustled up a spot on winter feast on the barbecue then headed home!
It could have been our last meal, not long after this picture was taken we had to take a boat out through the ice to get Ben's Pike trace out of a tree.....
Today we had a trip booked out top mate Ivan Wellington but as usual the wind decided to blow from the east at about a 4 or 5, not good, so we came up with a plan B, a trip to Throop fishery.
It was cold, Ben G, Scott and I fished pretty hard until after dark, roving, trying all methods, at the end of the day we all caught fish, top man was Scott with a Chub, Ben next with two minnows (coarse fish) and after a long days Chubbing I managed to catch a Sea Trout from one of the finest river coarse fisheries in southern England...
A well needed coffee break with Ben's Kelly Kettle.
At last the reason we went fishing, Scott's Chub....respect!
