Cheers Phil, they were in a non forthcoming mood so it was nice to tempt one, but honestly as you know yourself, just being out and in the right place for your mind and soul is more than good enough on many occasions. I always find no matter how a fishing trip is I generally return home in a better mood than when I left.

Beautiful scenery, a Robin, great commentary/content and a lovely Chevin - one of my favorite videos, Mark. Thank you

Thank you ever so much Paul! There's something about a cold days winter fishing. Perhaps the mixture of silence and winter wildlife.

Great stilly winter fishing ...Indeed In winter there are these curious ghost bites...as u say often quite big chub mouthing the bait without moving it..speaking of ghosts I caught a ghostie river carp a few days ago . Fought funny, turned out had 2 thirds tail missing likley chopped by otter...very recently inflicted..not ideal!... True !..being cold affects how adeptly we fish....

Yes argh the dreaded ghost bites, the mirage of the "did I really have a bite, but why didn't I connect?". Sounds like your ghostie carp had a lucky escape. I actually saw an otter a few evenings ago, no fear of humans whatsoever, obviously hand reared as usual.

Nice chub well done

Great video. I can relate to fishing numerous spots with no success but when one does come along it makes the day. However, as I don’t fish into dark it’s often the case that one doesn’t come along!

Wondered why the Robin was so tame when I visited that spot...Should have guessed 👏

@@markerd5378 Flooding is now largely a thing of the past Mark, waters are receeding and the clean up has begun, but major impact on Murray River communities seeing as it was the second largest flood in recorded history! Overall it has been a mainly cool summer this year with only a few days in the 40's so far. Minus 6 - faaaaark!

well done mark harsh weather its tough going and catching anything is a bonus ,i remember fishing a river many years ago minus five freezing fog .and i thought my back side had come off no feeling at all fingers like ice ,but two small chub later went home a happy ice cube,,,,snow on the ground always adds to the atmosphere ,and the water is always smooth ,well mark until your next adventure down by the water tight lines..

Cheers Stephen and argh freezing fog is a right bad one. Generally plays my asthma up no end. You did well to catch. I've had some good trips in it in the past but oddly never done that well when pike fishing in freezing fog.

Mark ! You’ll get haemorrhoids sitting on that cold bank 😂 Take a chair mate , I’m having an operation for mine next month 😟 This style into dark is what I’m doing nearly all autumn/winter can’t be arsed with predators this season.

Well what can one say. Another great video Mark and max points for perseverance mate. Im really struggling at the moment on a tiny stream which i know has chub because i have caught them but just lately is as if they have been beamed to another planet. At least seeing you catching them is a bonus, i just gotta keep trying i suppose.
