Hi guys and girls

Hope your all well and not suffering post Christmas empty pocket syndrome! lol

What a few weeks of weather uh! Blimey, we had some proper snow here in the Welsh Valleys. Tom's school was shut for almost 2 extra weeks after the Christmas period and we were stuck in the house for numerous consecutive days...being unable to move the car because of living on such a steep hill.

There is very little to inform you of on the fishing front I'm afraid....I haven't been out myself since my last session just before Christmas. I have been rather lucky in landing myself a nice syndicate place at a beautiful little venue in Devon with only 25 members and a good head of fish to mid thirties. Going to have my first session there for a few days next week. I'll let you know how things pan out there.

Stuey has had a few sessions on the Stour but to no avail. The water has been very high and coloured with a lot of road salts entering the water which clearly put the fish off. As I'm writing this now I can still see snow on the mountain opposite our house!

Just a few more things....remember to check out the Carping for Cancer site and give the guys there as much support as you can. We also have a new advertiser to 'Nuts'.....Infinity Baits has joined the clan and are offering some brilliant baits for sale on their site. Make sure you check this all out soon.

Right that's me done for now and I'll see you all soon.

Tight lines and good luck for 2010!

Just to let you all know about some new pages which have been added to the site today.

As many of you know we here at 'Nuts' have a small liking for those whiskered wonders the Wels!

Well' ! as this is the case excuse the punn, we thought that we'd show you a bit more about how to fish for these amazing creatures.

Please bear with us as some of the pages are still under construction but the majority of it is live now.

So, what you waiting for? Go on have a look!

Tight lines to you all.

Hi to you all.

I hope your all very well and not 6 feet under water!

Hasn't it been wet!

Anyway, I have to confess that we here at Nuts about Carp are thoroughly proud to now be sponsoring a very valid and great cause..........

I lost my father last year as some of you will know.....unfortunately he was diagnosed with cancer in January 2008 and by July 17th he was gone. I also lost both of my grandparents to different kinds of Cancer too.

Therefore Cancer has rather affected my life in many ways.

Please do support the guys at Carping for Cancer and have a look at the pages enclosed on here that will guide you to their site.

Furthermore If you are in a position where you could either make a financial contribution or offer some help with prizes for the competitions etc then please do contact us or the guys at Carping For Cancer.

Thank you all so much for your time and support.

Kindest regards

Nuts about Carp & Carping For Cancer.

Hi all,

It's getting tougher out there from what I'm hearing!

I certainly found this to be the case on a recent trip to Reading and my Syndicate water. I drew a huge blank with just one carp of 15lb 5oz coming out to my newby brother in law Liam.

I've just returned from a week away at a friends place in Dorset who I haven't seen for the best part of 18 years.....we had a very relaxing week, talking and reliving some of the old times.....the week before that I drove up to see one of our site regulars who I'd love to say has become a good friend. I hope that our friendship blossoms as he is a true gentleman!

I'd like to say a big thanks to both the two chaps for putting up with me and also to all our members and regular contributors, who without their tireless work, none of this would be possible.

Right, I'm off to polish the rods and reels up ready for Sunday and my next instalment of Syndicate water fishing.....unfortunatley I have 10kg of bait to make as well!

Tight lines to you all

Keith

Don't forget we have a Face Book Group page too.....

Hi all,

I've changed the news format a little....the reason for this is that there has been numerous requests for the old catch reports to come back.

So, bearing this in mind this will be the new News pages which will contain any news we feel relevant to you guys and your sport.

It could be the announcement of something important, some fishery news, angler news etc etc.

We'd like to hear more from you guys though....catch reports, photo's or just your news in general. If you join the site for free you can post your own pics etc on the site for all to see in glorious technicolour and of course add your own news and catch reports to the blog too!

Right, that's it for now......

Tight lines
