On this day 5 years ago, 17th March 2016 I fished the Oak Tree bank on Chew with Ian (bovver). This turned out to be a familiar sight and he even managed to net a double hook up, something I rarely achieve!

On this day 3 years ago, 21st March 2018 I had an early season dangle around the cages on Chew in a solo boat. Plenty of fish around 4 foot off bottom but they weren't interested in my deep sunk lures.
The 'claritometer' also made its debut to help me measure water clarity for my records.

On this day 8 years ago 26th March 2013 I fished the North Shore on Chew on a freezing cold day...
My net froze up at last knockings ...
But the quality of the fish made it all worthwhile ...

When you've got ice in your rod rings - you know its coooold
been there, done that - many,many moons ago when still a schoolboy, deadbaiting for pike on the local gravel pit.
