Carpbell_ll Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 This afternoon has really cheered up around here, came out the swimming baths and it was like a different day, my first thought was, hmm now this is fishing weather, then i remembered defrosting my car this morning...

salokcinnodrog Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Single overnighter for me. Having Sky is a big responsibility, and getting to Nazeing after work, walking the dog and setting up in the dark is a bit much at the moment.

spr1985 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'm out tomorrow hoping at least one of the lakes is lid free Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muftyboy Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 All lakes here are frozen solid with heavy frosts forecast for at least another 5 days I doubt I will be wetting a line anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildalton1982 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Had a look at my park lake, only one corner is frozen, got me some maggots so if anything i can catch a bream! Sent from my LG-H955 using Tapatalk B.C. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Sorted all my gear out this morning for an overnight carp session with Sky on Nazeing. Drove the 70 odd miles there, to discover the Lagoons were frozen over, a full lid on them, and a tiny ice free patch on Brackens in car corner that looks like it was starting to freeze over. Oh well it looks like a pike trip to Causeway again tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salokcinnodrog Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Sadly, I don't have phone at moment, my mobile or charger field this week, and I do tend to be on my own on Nazeing anyway. I've always done my own thing unless I needed pics from a mate as I prefer to do my own work finding out about the lake. I've seen the forecast for tonight and tomorrow for Causeway and a pike trip, and I'm starting to worry about that as well. I am not too sure about the river as I know the areas which I fished a few years ago aren't giving up big pike at the moment Amateur mistake, ring round like i did, then turn up to a lake which was half frozen yesterday to find it frozen completely! plus side, shiny new reels got an outing!

jh92 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 On the river now it's a bit fresh but it seems like it's gonna be a nice day lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigewoodcock Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 I came down the lake yesterday and went out in the boat to break the ice. Got down this morning and it's stayed clear so the rods are out. It's snowing and it's sticking. Fingers crossed for a chance!

jh92 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Started getting busy with dog walkers so called it a day, caught nothing but a wetwipe lol.

muftyboy Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Going tomorrow. Went down a couple of hours ago and there are 2 swims that are fish able. Hopefully nobody will be in them in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
