‘Kentish’ Stuart Wallis has continued to brave the freezing conditions of late, and he was well rewarded last week. Over to you Stu:
‘I popped down to my local club pit again on Friday night to see if I could repeat the success of the last trip a couple of weeks back , didn’t get down until well after dark but got the sticks out and all settled in nicely on the end of a bitterly cold northerly.
I had no action through the night but was awoken by a bite from the snaggy margins at first light , it was then I noticed half the lake was frozen over!!! This little mirror was a welcome gift though. I made a sharpish retreat back home not long after slipping him back…
With the lake half frozen this lovely mirror made a welcome visitor
I woke up Sunday morning at home and with my wife off to the gym I thought it rude not to slip back down there for a few hours and see if I could snare another!! All went to plan and after about an hour or so I banked a nice looking common , not bad for a mornings work on a cold winters day!
An opportunist few hours were rewarded..
The size 5 stiff riggers and anchor tubing doing the business .
Lovely Times’…
