I do remember you mate! Well done on your result! I know I should wake up every morning feeling like I am the luckiest man alive and quite often I do…but there are the odd days when the weather is glum, the mood is quite low and you just want to go and hibernate till Spring arrives lol…

Stay in touch mate and keep following the Italian Job as it unfolds…I have a feeling there is plenty more in store and to be honest I am through the worst part…it can only get better from here on in!

Cheers
Jake and the dogs.

In actual fact yesterday’s post wasn’t meant to be read as a negative post…just some reality and my thoughts on the situation. You could call it a Monday moan but there was supposed to be some humour hidden in there!! Half the day is nearly gone for you…soon be lunchtime!

All the best Jake

I said just that on Sunday’s post…I love the Spring! I am almost there…as the title of yesterday’s post said…peaks and troughs…we can’t grin from ear to ear every day and sometimes when staring out across a large expanse of still water…you get very little back!! Even the swans were ignoring me!
Here is to the Spring mate!

Jake and the dogs!

Look, just remember im sat in an office staring at a screen for 9 hours of the day. I know things are tough right now, and i am not surprised its becoming a struggle, but its times like this when out of the blue a Carpy will show its face. Get that fire burning John boy!

Take care
Geoff

The days are low cloud, grey sky and no sun….I don’t know this lake that well but I am told by some that my place is good and by others that it isn’t. It is the usual scenario of carp fishing – everyone has their own opinions on everything!!

Cheers mate

Feeding and looking after myself is not a struggle I would like to point out…I eat very well each day, get ‘lots’ of sleep, have heating and the dogs – the dogs are fantastic! The fries are a matter of personal choice I guess…sometimes I do chunky ones, yesterday I went for the skinny French Fry variety….the quality of them is down to the fact I left my professional deep fat frier at my house in the UK and my Coleman stove and Trakker saucepan had to make do (they actually tasted tremendous!!) The four chicken thighs I cooked on my logfire at 8pm were truly magnificent (few herbs, little chilli)…I am doing fine Tim!! We all are….My main problem now is unfortuantely just ‘boredom’!

Cheers Jake and the dogs

Followed the blog for quite a while now, everytime i need a bit of inspiration to get out and wet a line i just check your blog and it always fires me up.
I’m luckily enough to fish a large pit, and even luckier to be able to have a nice fire burning whilst i fish, and your right there is an art to it so you get an A+. It’s all the prep ;-)
January fishing is hard, but oh so rewarding and i’m sure you’ll be getting yours any moment now.

Mind how you go fella,

Baity.
