Me too mate - may even try catching a few livies on sun cause thay always seem to outfish the deads too.

nightwatchman Fri Mar 05, 2010 2:34 pm

Still might be hard going lads?
I fished 3 of the HDAA ponds next door yesterday and not so much as a sniff!

Mind you the weather wasnt ideal for Pike. It was bright sunshine & the surface like a mill pond.
Blankety blank !

so thats 10 of us!!!! any last minute additions are more than welcome as there ARE more pegs than anglers.
i've just rang up and booked the pegs.... we have the first 5 leading away from where we park up on the west bank of each pond (5 pegs per pond) but we can always pick and choose if the pegs are not to your liking Very Happy

robh107 wrote:ok then!!!! now the cellars fish in has a date i can set one for this event lol....... its either going to be the 28th february or 7th of march (they are both sundays).... i'll be totally honest and say that my car tax is also due at the end of february so i'll budget and see which one i can do.
i still havent heard anything from my original venue choice so i'm ditching it in favour of one near brandesburton that does have a tendency of throwing out a few big fish.
final choice of venue: farmers ponds. day ticket is £3 for this set of lakes.
once i have the final list of people attending i'll pm you all directions as the three ponds are quite easily missed if you dont know your way around the backroads up there.

is this the price of the ponds for tomorrow or diffrent ones?

nightwatchman Sat Mar 06, 2010 11:02 am

Yes mate.
£3 all day - for all your rods - for all 3 ponds. afro

robh107 Sat Mar 06, 2010 11:06 am

yes alex.... just to comfirm it IS £3 for the day ticket Very Happy

me and adam cant wait for tomorrow now..... i've even managed to repair the micron p that broke last time Very Happy

all i need to do today is take adam to buy his bait and repair some traces tonight once lil ones in bed... did the rest yesterday Very Happy

The Otter Sat Mar 06, 2010 4:54 pm
