I'll keep an eye on this, if anyone feels like a glutton for punishment and hitting it for two days I'll come down from north of the wall.

Daz will confirm but I think we will be looking at 9-5.
You can get there earlier and get things set up.

Mike and I are staying on The Broads this Sunday. But may I wish you all the very best of luck. Look forward to reading bout your exploits. If I were to go again... I probably wouldn't 'waste*' my time jigging in 80ft of water for hours if things were tough. There's some massive pike in there and a good head of doubles n twenties. And that's exciting. Paddlers also have a unique advantage as we can troll a couple of lures (at different depths), under our own paddle power whilst covering a shed load of water. The other boats can't do this.... they are not allowed  * for want of a better word. No fishing can really be described as a waste of time in my book. However I wish I hadn't spent so long trying to catch my target fish when it was clear that we were all struggling. Really started to enjoy myself when we shallowed up and covered a lot of water in the North arm. Managed a couple of fish too |

It's all a very steep learning curve. Terry |

Managed a couple of fish too must admit that jigging for zander all day does get a little boring, i do like to troll a lure and discover what else in arounf that stunning water and countryside good luck on the broads and please report back to us mate,have fun and be safe.

Right lads...just come off the phone to Andy the head ranger and a couple of changes...... First we can now launch from the Fishing Lodge instead of Whitwell. I had asked for us to be treated as ANGLERS in a kayak and not KAYAKERS that fish. So now we are not tied to the Watersports Centre in Whitwell. This does mean a longer paddle to the North Arm but our time on the water will be longer. There is a grassy area to the left of the pontoons and that is where we are to launch from. You MUST all wash down when you come off the water. There is a wash station to the right of the pontoons. Wash your yak, drysuit net and unhooking mat. Make a show of it as I am told we are being watched by other anglers and one or two wardens who think we will mis-behave. We have to be seen to be better behaved than the rest of the anglers. But hey....we ARE anyway. All this means we can meet at the lodge carpark around 8 o'clock so we can get on the water at least an hour earlier than before and hopefully a little later coming off too. We will have to have a look at the lake map as well as restrictions come into force from Sunday on how far down the arms we can go due to over wintering wildfowl. So lads eightish meet, I think the carpark will open around 20 mins before. Look forward to seeing you all. Terry |
