EMILIES WAS RECONSTRUCTED IN FEBRUARY TAKING OUT THE ISLAND AND SPIT LEAVING A PLATEAUX IN THE MIDDLE MAKING THE LAKE MUCH FAIRER AND ECO FRIENDLY FOR THE CARP .

THIS WINTER DEBBIE ,JOE AND MYSELF HAVE BEEN UP TO SEE THE BELOVED HAMMERS A FEW TIMES ,THE HIGHLIGHT BEING THE RESULT V LIVERPOOL , THE WORST REULT WE WITNESSED THE DEFEAT TO MAN U AFTER BEING 2.0 UP , AT LEAST JOE WAS HAPPY BEING A MAN U FAN.

THE LAST FEW WEEKS HAVE SEEN SOME TERRIBLE WEATHER RESULTING IN UP AND DOWN FISHING, THE FISH REALLY WANTED TO SPAWN 6 WEEKS AGO BUT HAVE ONLY JUST HAD A LITTLE GO , WE REALLY NEED SOME SETTLED WEATHER ,THE LAST FEW DAYS HAVE SEEN SOME BETTER FISHING SO MAYBE THE SUMMER IS FINALLY ARRIVING.

JOES TORRIDGESIDE FOOTBALL TEAM HAVE HAD AN AWESOME TIME WINNING THEIR LEAGUE CUP AND COMING RUNNERS UP IN THEIR LEAGUE BY A POINT, WITH BEING INVOLVED IN HIS FOOTBALL IT HAS MEANT THAT I HAVE NOT FISHED SINCE LAST YEAR MYSELF , BUT THE SACRIFICE AT PRESENT HAS BEEN WELL WORTH IT SEEING JOE GROW INTO A FANTASTIC LITTLE PLAYER AND BECOME A VERY SPECIAL FRIEND TO ME, DEBBIE AND MYSELF ARE VERY PROUD OF HIM.
