What a difference a week makes, temperatures have plummeted over the last Seven days bringing with It the big freeze

Myself ( Matt ) and ( Marc ) are once again out for a day session on our local day ticket venue, after experiencing yet another very cold night the Inevitable greeted us on our arrival there was a lid on both lakes situated with In the fishery


After a chat whilst sitting In the warmth of the van over a coffee we eventually faced the elements and went for a walk around the complex to explore

There was a match planned on the big lake so If we are able to get out the rods today? our only option will be on the smaller lake


After a good look around It appeared the the Ice was not as thick as first thought, decision made we returned back to the van to pick up our Ice breaking kit to see If we could break some Ice to reveal some liquid?

It took us both Just over two hours to create two swims we both thought would be comfortable to fish two rods Into, If we were cold on arrival? we certainly were not cold now, before returning to the van again this time to pick up the tackle I simply could not resit taking this shot things look so beautiful coated In frost

By 10.30 / 11.00am ? we were both finally angling a relief, It was turning out to be a really pleasant morning as the early morning sun finally popped up over the distant tree line but being realistic be both knew we were In for a long and challenging day

For the first time I think ever? certainly as long as I ( Matt ) have been writing my blog I simply have nothing more to update all reading 


We sat, sat and sat drank coffee, coffee and even more coffee we had nothing not even a bleep to get excited about, by late afternoon the temperature was rapidly falling again so much my landing net began to freeze
