on a positive note.people have probably noticed now that we are getting 12+hours of daylight.and we,ll soon be catching a few again even though the temps arent high yet i dont know about any of you lot but i can feel things are starting to kick off pretty soon a good time for all i dont think winter does our fishing any favours regardless of what we all read

Your not wrong there mate! i had carp taking mixers off the top on wednesday!!!! Not enough to cast for one but was amazing to see this early in march!!!

BRING IT ON!!!!!!

Yep..even i'm contemplating getting the rods out

Yah, in hard winter the carp don't want it, that's that, fair's fair.

Was going to go tommorow, but gale force winds, clear skies >

Ive done few sessions this winter and caught on the easier waters but really this winter thing we are just going through the motions but now on like the start of every spring,things are starting to fire back up ,everyones ready for it you can tell by peoples attitude and outlook for me and a few others bait is ordered and a new water to have a go at. time to shake away the cobwebs and get down the lake doing what we enjoy best

are they the richworth tuties if not your in for another blank

Canty, I have had around 30 people ask me that , and no is the answer, I know Richworth tuttis have there quality reputation - being good for them, but they ran out in the tackle shop, so just bought the Nash ones. What I really can't understand is what the difference is between Nash's tuttis and Richworths apart from reputation. Surely the ingredients can't be much different from each other .

Think it is almost THE time that we hav all been waiting for, the wyre lake has done 5 fish in the last 48hrs,and i hav just tonight seen the first fish show for 3 months on my local

Westerlies coming in next week we should see double figures again

i recon a few days of the westerly,s and a bit more daylight all the tricks and bits and bobs thats been tried in the winter wont matter after monday i,m off work till the 8th of April tonyboi i think the richworth tuttie fruity is the one it might be worth getting a bottle of flavour if you can still get it

Spring is defenitly in the air...a better class of Knob head is now patrolling the banks, like the first Swallows of Summer they are arriving at the waters edge not knowing Winter has ever touched the lakeside.
Anything doin mate?.....err, No.
Not been down for a few months mate, getting near the time now..Yeah It is.
Done a lot on here have you?..yeah, a bit.
How many you had then?..err Three.
Three... all Winter?..yeah Three.
Had any of the bigguns mate?..low twenties.
Bet you were gutted ,with all the thirties in this gaff....No, should i be?
Well, i would be mate...How's that?
Suffering all the bad weather for a couple of twenties, not for me mate...
Long may it continue....Mate.

I enjoyed seeing two of em well done Tudge well earned. Wish I could have got there a few more times but catching trains buses and walking is hard work. just got me learner licence so should be in a motor soon.

Didn't realise that mate...you should have said and i would of at least dropped you near Manc town centre...Steve, take Phil up on the offer you were talking about..you deserve to be there.
Time to move on for me now.. getting a bit to busy on there...and no one on the local, with bigger fish in it.
Looked round this evening..i'm avin a do.

It will be time to start lumping in the bait soon lads and should start to catch a few

how does the song go ?....'got to admit it's getting better, better all the time, can't get no worse'...beatles i think
