welder Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Yes, it was very cold indeed on one of the banks. Ian PS Welome to this cracking forum. I've sent you a PM. Quote
dave_askew Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 it produces fish most weeks of the year and atm should be doin well between me and 2 friends about 4 weeks ago we had 5 out Quote
salokcinnodrog Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Thread moved into UK Where to fish. It may also pay to have a dig around on the search facility on here as Merrington has been mentioned a few times in the past Quote

It may also pay to have a dig around on the search facility on here as Merrington has been mentioned a few times in the past Nick, I suspected that the thread would be relocated. I've PM'd Peter with suitable links....in the hope that some of them make him laugh as much as I did. Ian Quote
Malc 1950 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 any one ever fished this fishery this time of year regards peter I will be there in a few hours, for the weekend, so will let you know how I get on. First time out this year and really looking forward to it, so much so, I aint tired Quote
85rob Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 i was there in the autum for 24hrs and only 1 fish came, out of 6 anglers on the whole pool. Quote
welder Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Some of us, eight in all, are doing a long weekend at Merrington next weekend. A bit of a splinter group from the principals of the Grumpy Old Men social of 2008. Jez, bless him, has once again become organiser and arranged the bookings etc. I'll take my camera and, upon return, try to learn how to post pictures......possibly I suspect that, yet again, we're going to be well fed, which is a strong clue as to one of the participants..... Better take the barbeque. Again Ian Quote
jemsue5 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 I'm over there in the morning for a day session so hopefully a few kippers to report tomorrow night. Quote

Use that infamous charisma & charm of yours to get us on the warm side. We're going to need it. Have you seen the weather for next weekend? Quote
jemsue5 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 freezing mate -4/5 during the week Quote

Use that infamous charisma & charm of yours to get us on the warm side. We're going to need it. Have you seen the weather for next weekend? I'll sleep in the van if the infamous charisma and charm fails us....particularly if the weather forecast is even half right. The ultimate, all weather, fishing shelter? Transit HiCube. Just trust me on this. Carpet lined, Pink Floyd on the stereo................ Ian Quote
jemsue5 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Just the one fish out last night a 15lber to Malc, today just one fish which i caught a pike of about 6/7lb on a tutti lol. Quote

Again Ian Thanks and In that case wish him all the best from me I did send him a text last week, but know that he has to look after himself before even thinking about replying I hope that all catch this time, and the wwweather is a bit nicer than forecast. Anyone want any bait? Quote

Use that infamous charisma & charm of yours to get us on the warm side. We're going to need it. Have you seen the weather for next weekend? I've just visited several weather forecast sites and the outlook isn't too bad. Snow is unlikely, some very light rain, possibly, on Saturday. On Sunday we'll need the Factor 8. Or not. Coldish at night but warmish by day. To be on the safe side I'm taking all the warm clothes I own and may well borrow even more. I guess that the Peachskin overblanket will be deployed once again. The last time I used it was at the Grumpy Old thingy last year. Please God, don't let it be that cold again. Ian Quote

Fortunatly, regular checks have seen a steady improvement. Fingers crossed it continues in the same manner. Quote

welder Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 porshec2, please consider your thread well and truly hijacked, aided and abetted by a moderator and an administrator, amongst the rest of us. I hope that the resultant descriptions of our weekend at Merrington go some way to answering your initial enquiry. If not please feel free to join in on the next Grumpy social. You don't need to be Grumpy, just sociable. Watch this space, the seed is already sown. Ian Quote
