We're up for episode 5 of the Carpanglers podcast.

This month, and I can't believe it is a month ago already when we sat down in your van, Mark,

when it felt, well, we're heading into winter rapidly but it felt so much warmer than it has been today, isn't it?

Yeah, yeah, but then that was, what, 15 degrees, wasn't it?

And in November and fish were active and it was, well, it's just like a late summer's night wasn't it

crazy yeah well when we were recording it we had the we were sat in the side of your van

um oh my star was only there for a couple of hours i must have had half a dozen fish or roll over

bosh over and it felt it felt crazy the atmosphere was electric and um after i left you you had a

couple more as well which was great yeah yeah just yes those lights you got to take advantage haven't

you when it's uh when it's uh the weather is like that and the and that sort of low pressure comes in

so yeah i'm uh i've been down a few more times since then and um we've had some ridiculously warm weather haven't we?

Yeah, I think you can tell that. You've only got to look on social media, haven't you,

in terms of how many fish are getting caught in the so-called winter captures when the weather's

been so warm. Yes, yeah, absolutely. It's been fish come out left right and set. It's extended

for myself as a

bake maker extended the what usually is a quiet period in sort of november and December so we've been

fairly busy with black friday and all that but it's been it's been good it's been good it's been

great to see loads of fish still coming out and then one's still at it yeah absolutely but in the

last week or so now crisis Christ, it's gone down cold

again, hasn't it? A couple of weeks ago, it went really cold. Yeah. It was ice on the mat,

I remember one morning. But, but yeah, it's, yeah, all trying to pick and choose your sessions

a little bit, but having said that, I'm on a bit of a clanktangs, I've only got a few weeks left until the day when Claire delivers hopefully our next baby.
