What Now?

[Sidd]

Hi All,

So, the Mackerel feck off, the Pollack move offshore, the dawn gets later, the days get colder - what happens in the late autumn/winter?

This is my first season fishing - I really enjoyed the summer, do we put the rods away until March or is it worth braving the elements and slippy rocks for the days ahead?

I know I will still be sneaking out around dawn every second or third Sunday but I have already bought a thermos flask, I do not yet know what these "hand warmers" are like but I am sure I will be wanting to find out before too long.

Thanks as always for the advice,

Sidd.
