Well winters here and the weather is cold but we decided to try and get in another fishing trip before calling it a day for this year. The weather had warmed up slightly and the wind wasn't as strong as previous weeks so we decided on going to Peterstone Lakes and give it a try up there. Now with the weather being so cold we decided to try a few different tricks in order to get the fish to feed, we tried different types of luncheon meat, we tried hemp seed with fish oils, pellets, and some specialised ground baits.
Mum & Brian happily Pole Fishing (until the wind decided to increase)
The weather was just still way too cold, we were getting little bites from the smaller fish but nothing from any of the larger fish. Brian and my mum decided to go on the pole fishing the all methods lake (my mothers favourite spot) but the action was very slow. my mum managed to catch a few small fish, mainly bream and a small roach and Brian managed to hook into a half decent 1 to 2 lb bream.

I myself decided to target the larger fish and go on the specimen hunt. I had a couple of line bites but nothing really that got my heart racing. Unfortunately due to the icy cold wind and cold weather getting to the bones we had to pack up early and the wind was blowing directly at my mother and she was sat shivering (not enjoyable at all). So i will have to arrange another trip in the new year for specimen fishing just to see what the lakes have to offer. Get Hooked!
