It depends on where you're going I suppose. I was in Monaghan and they have a had a major freeze for a week. Air temp was 4 this morning but ground and water are still frozen.

db97

its only a small lake.. but I doubt its froze over

An absolutely terrific bait. They give off plenty of blood and can be refrozen and reused.

Thats good to hear. Thanks

Well done! I hope that's mud on your hands and not blood.

The lake is really boggy and I know how to hold them now had no problem unhooking them this time.

I'm heading there myself with the father tomorrow. Gonna try some other spots too there, I can always fall back on where you went for a guaranteed catch :P

Will probably have one bait and 2 spinners or vice versa. What were you using? Gonna head into the tackle shop now and pick up some gear.

db97

right job man.. its two weedy for lures man.. and sea dead baits are great dont tell nowan bout that spot are you tryin the other spot I asked you about ?? let me know how ya get on..

db97

I know a spot or two there which is free of weeds and good for a spinner but you need to be a good caster :P

I might head out to that other place if I'm successful here, need a successful day tomorrow to get a bit of motivation

Probably hit derevara when weather improves. Il trawl the whole lot. Got 17 in one day out there 3 years ago. Only one double but most in around 4-6 pound. Great crack on light gear. I just had me trout rod.

Darn, no bait in shop, guess I'll pick up some mackerel in Tescos tomorrow morning or something.

DB how much look were you hacing the other day? Only have a few hours free tomorrow (~4 hours) so hopefully that''ll be enough to get something!
