Skunked means didn’t catch
A lot depends on how well your warming shack is set up, I’ve seen people with portable wood burners out there, we just had a little propane heater. Some people will spend all day out there, snow machines and ATV’s buzzing around, even pick up trucks. I’m sure people do fall in, the ice yesterday was about two feet thick so no chance of going through that

What do you do if the fish is bigger than the hole?

That’s a good question, drill the biggest hole you can. I guess you could chip away some ice deposit on the thickness, like I said this shit was at least two feet thick, I guess you’d just have to cut the line

The hole just has to be a little bigger than the circumference of the fish at its widest part. Even a very large (40lb) fish would pass through a hole the size of a dinner plate as long as you have hooked it in the mouth. Just keep winding in until it pokes its head above the ice and then hit it on the head with a big fuck you baseball bat.
I think I should be an ice fishing guide.
 
Fishing should be banned for cruelty to anglers. Fuck me, I'm struggling at the moment. Been fishing the water where I had the 2lb roach last year and had nothing but 6 or 7-hour blanks. Not even a chewed maggot.

On Sunday we intended to fish the Ribble as we had permission to coarse fish a salmon stretch but it pissed down on Saturday and it was unfishable when we went for a look. So we adjourned and went to look at a nearby lake but the howling gale and driving rain saw us wet and freezing after a biteless couple of hours so we packed up.

Nothing good comes easy.

Tough at the moment. Scaled down to 24 hooks on a 1lb bottom and not so much as a bite last Saturday - on a water that's so stuffed with roach you can barely get bait to the bottom for most of the year.

I take my hat off to you fishing at this time of year. I will not go out until wind is under 20mph and temperature above 10c. What a bloody wimp!
 
Un-fucking-believable !! Made a last minute call that, notwithstanding the inclement weather, I'd pop down to the Avon to see if I could get a roach or two and maybe a bream. Arrived to find a work-party setting up. "Just my luck" I thought but Fate intervened and they declined my enthusiastic offer of help. So I pissed off to another part of the river. Set up with 14s hook to 3lbs line and, after 20 minutes had a wrap-around.

Conditions are really shit for lure fishing at the moment especially with jigs and the like. The water is way too cold for them to chase.

To prove that point I had a morning’s deadbaiting planned but when I got up it was blowing a hoolly, raining, hail etc. I didn’t fancy it so took two lure rods out to three canal swims and one river swim. I might have had one hit on the crayfish cheb rig but basically it was shit. One Brucey Bonus was that one of the canal locks in the river was just below some playing fields and I netted three proper footballs out for my lads.
