Been checking weather reports, and it has finally happen. The sea temperature has risen, ok only by a degree. But spring and bass are getting closer- very close.
Time to check how sharp those hooks are, tie on new leader and get cracking.

 

[Tim Griffin]

Good news indeed, Dave. I was just telling George today that the water wouldn't get any colder, so I guess I was right. Just passing the time now (by pike fishing!) until we can get into the bass...

 

[Dave Irving]

If this milder weather keeps up, then it will be a week or two before the water warm enough to get the crabs moulting, and the bass inshore to feed on them. The long cold dark is almost over!!!

 

[Jon Bunyard]

getting excited....

 

[Steve Williams]

Thanks for that Good News Dave. I'm looking forward to the 2010 season.

 

[Mark Sleep]

Yup. Its now just about light when I leave work, and in a few weeks the clocks go forward as well. Nearly there chaps.

 

[Mick Ward]

Just a matter of a few weeks and Bob and me will start our 2010 season, its been so long this winter.

**** did you see the low water in St Aubins today just like a summers day flat calm hardly a ripple , enough to make you droool.

 

[Ian Morris]

Still plenty of snow melt entering the North Wales systems and heading seawards - be interesting to see if it delays things any up here.

 

[Nathan Taylor]

when does your season start Ian?

I did indeed see it Tony, it was stunning. I live right in the middle of the bay, this is the view from my gaff

I dont like my flat much but just cant leave because the view is so great for knowing whether to go fishing or not.

 

[Luke Fox]

spring is springing in cornwall have seen shoals of launce and small fry from the coast, gannets hammering them too.

 

[Bram]

Hope everything is stil in ballance after this winter!
Can't wait on the arrival of the Herring this season.
With those winter tempatures you start doubting about the things to come!
Normal the smal preyfish arrives for spawning in 14 days at out side.

Well my Crocus's in my lawn are up !!! That's progress !!!

 

[Mark Sleep]

Christ, its absolutely glorious here today. It was so still and sunny this morning, and you could actually feel a bit of warmth on your skin from the sun. Brilliant.

 

[Mike Kennard]

We had another stiff frost this morning but now it looks like Summer. We have crocuses up in the garden too. Late but a welcome sight.

 

[Mark Sleep]

The worrying thing is the water temp is miles off what it was this time last year apparently.

 

[Alex Jordan]

Such a lovely day too - roll on spring!!!!

 

[Simon L]

Glorious here too. Still lots of catching up to do though - i think that everything will be late this year - my Crocus's are.

 

[Ian Morris]

when does your season start Ian?

A lot later than I'd like Nathan but thats familly's for you! Every year I try to start earlier and end later but I end up doing what I am told to keep the peace. Usualy manage a foray or 2 in April, but as a rule can't get away with starting for proper with lures til early May. Am determined to get out in the next few weeks but with dirty bait probably. We are away camping this Easter and all being well, will sneak a couple seshes with lures.
