Yes I get like that at times, then regret not getting to the bank early

Thank you Mark, it's nice when I do, but I really enjoy just being there in winter and admiring all my surroundings, very good for de-stressing.

Many thanks LD, it's a very simple method but alot of walking and choosing an area of water that gives me that 'gut feeling'

I used to spend hours on the Old Lea in the Fisher's Green area, doing just what you do, but the Lea in that area is much narrower and weedy. It does hold some big chub and Barbel, but it is so heavily fished now, I have not been for years!

Nice one Vito!!
