Diawa Hallcroft Fishery, 15th February 2013
Peg 12, ice clearing time... The first outing of 2013 after a 3 month winter break. I'm sure I'm becoming a bit of a "butterfly" angler and only coming out in the good weather... that or I'm just getting older and feel the cold more?? Since Mark and I only had 6 outings in 2012 it's not really fair to call the years winner despite being 2 up on him overall ;-) So we decided that a 3 day fish off would determine the Mark vs Mark 2012 Champion . As I would be driving down from the north to Cambridge for the weekend we picked a fishery that was midway between us and find ourselves at Diawa's Hallcroft Fishery , a fishery that neither of us had any prior knowledge of. Peg 11, Bacon Buttie enjoyment! We decide to fish Canal lake and teh tackle shop mentioned that pegs 11 & 12 where fishing well. Mark chose peg 11, missing peg 12 as it was full of ice, so I sat on the peg 12 and proceeded to clear the ice. It was only thin so didn't take...
