Let's start again and hopefully manage to actually get out this time.
First of all------weekday or weekend
Proposed date for anyone
Meet to be at the river Ancolme at Brandy Wharf or if prefered Ashby Ville lake at Scunthorpe. The river has been producing a fair old number of pike according to a couple of sources so when a date is sorted, I will keep in touch with anglers as to where on the river is best. I have just joined the Ancolme esox hunters so that should help regarding information.
Dates please gents.
Phil

Phil is it open during the closed season? Perhaps March or April would appeal?

Phil does the lake offer options other than pike if they are off the feed? Terry, I had a chat with one of the carp boys yesterday at Ashby Ville Lake to establish what the fishing was like for silvers etc. He advised that although he didn't fish for anything other than carp, he could confirm that there were plenty of other fish to go at. On his last trip there he fished next to a chap who had a perch of just under 3lb and a roach that just missed the 2lb barrier by a hair. It would appear that we could go for some other targets if the pike are not playing so that is good to know. Phil

That sounds excellent Phil.
All we need now is an assurance that the flaming snow will not interrupt plans.

Work does have a habit of getting in the way Stu, You would think at 61, I would be able to guess 6 little numbers on a Saturday night then I would'nt need to have work get in the way. Phil

3 yrs after the lottery started a friend won 1m on the lottery. His marriage fell apart, he stopped working and became.an alcoholic in double quick time, ended up on drugs. He still has some money left but has not seen his kids.since they were 6 and suffers from depression.
His life is not a good one.
The only good thing was a bought his parents a house and paid for private.surgery for his dad who had been ill for many years. He bought a house for his brother who sold it , down sized and then pissed it all away.
Id rather be skint ..

Two on and two off for me and then Step likes to do something when we are off together that's why I end up doing so much fishing on weekdays. Like next week I am off Mon-Fri when everyone else is working.
