I enjoyed it tbf for me it isn’t all about catching I love being outside no matter what the weather is like,and I see a nice challenge coming next season which I will start planning now,there is a close season on pools in Birmingham area so I may look at doing the traditional open day night as I used to love doing this when I was a kid

@ Onslow...oh no 
@Fivenil  it was nice & sunny here this morn, cold though. I got fed up by 1430 so packed up, as I got to the car the heavens opened.....for the next 2 hours...lucky escape  Odd day, on the end of a cold wind, in 3 feet of water and getting liners...move the rig in closer...no liners...nothing!
@Canalcarper71, you've caught though while still learning the water, not a bad start Today I went into a swim I know like the back of my hand, a easy peg where the smaller fish hang out, I just wanted a bite... blanked that'll teach me!

Back home now in the warmth and blanked had a few liners but happy to have got out so I’ve had 3 fish (if you nicked a tench and a bream) in 2 sessions on a 16 acre lake with stock levels that is unknown to me .

Glorious here in Surrey. Lake empty so bagged the hot double swim for me and my chum. Sat in short sleeves and shades.
Life's cool today.

Turned up at the gate this morning to see a sign saying lake closed 😭.
Bumped into someone who said there has been an oxygen crash so likely to be closed for a few weeks at least
So after putting nearly 200 miles on the clock, I'm on a club water wondering if I should fish this for the winter or somehow find an alternative.
Gutted!

Not sure if work caught up with me as in getting up early every day that’s what happens to me usually from tiredness,took 4 paracetamol to get rid of it over few hours

Good luck on there Andy,the swim by the gate where you go through to the woods is a good one.They come into that bay by there and go along the tree line in the early hours,ive watched them quite a few times do it

I fish right through the winter, so long as the lake isn’t frozen I’ll have a go

Indeed mate, I found two of the old ones last time I was there 'out of bounds' and spent at least an hour just watching them.
In gin clear water, I didn't need much more inspiration to keep going!!

Yes, plenty of rain down in Surrey but looking good for fri - sun. Packed a few extra layers as looking a bit chilly as well.

I've accidentally stumbled across a water with a ton of history and a very old fish or two to target.
70ish fish in 8 acres but only half a dozen old ones left. 3ft deep with the odd 4ft hole.
6 weeks in I've been lucky to catch 3 but none of the old guard. Bailiffs reckon 8 in a season is good going and it doesn't fish well during the winter.
So I'll be there tomorrow and Saturday and will carry on throughout the winter in the hope I get one of the two oldest fish in their winter colours.
Place is absolutely stunning too 👌
