What fishing have you planned for the winter?

#1 Post by KERRY1 »

As the summer comes to an end for me it's time to put away the lighter spinning/plugging rods I have been using over the summer and replace them with the heavier beach casters and surf rods for some winter fishing.
What type of fishing do you plan to do over the winter?
I intend on taking a few trips down to Co.Kerry to target the Bass.
Hopefully I will get some fishing done more locally too, we'll see what happens.
I will be interested to know what you intend on doing over the winter, perhaps you have a trip or two planned yourself or you might not go out fishing at all :shock: .

The usual any day I get good weather out hunting for cod and whatever else I can get.
Days I can't get out on sea will be hunting the pike on rivers and lakes.
It's a hard life but I try my best. :D :D

The feeling is mutual "mate". I am sick of the sight of you too :lol: :lol: I knew I should've let your tyres down last night when we where out.
I'll do it next time.
You'd be better off sticking to hunting because your c**p at fishing! :lol:
P.S When your out and about hunting over the winter see if you can find a personality, I know someone who could do with one :wink: mentioning no names incase he reads this.
Get one for yourself while your there, ya muppet! :lol:
