Getting impatient, whilst waiting for the waters to warm and taking advantage of the fishable weather windows down here in South Cornwall. Had a great January this year, but always gets quiet for the area I fish Feb/March, feels almost dead, but better out fishing than sitting around. The plaice haven't seemed to show any signs of arrival yet despite starting to elsewhere, nor the gilts, but did have a nice double figure eel last week to revive that bend in the rod.



Anyone else been out trying but finding things haven't quite kicked off yet? Roll on the warmer waters,

Tight lines,

Lovely eel we had a great day at Kimingey last year best days fishing we had in a long time, There are some big eels out that way personally i think they are one of the most sporting fish to catch in our waters, Anything over 30/40lb and your in for a right beating. Well done my firend great to see someone after the eels.
