Mild weather has allowed plenty of anglers to get out on the banks while the government’s restrictions continue.

Paul Marriot had a night session over at Fenland Fisheries and was rewarded with a 22lb Common Carp caught on a homemade boilie pop up fished over a handful of Sticky baits Krill Freebies.
Kevin McLean meanwhile enjoyed drop shotting for Perch on the River Ouse, landing 23 up to 12 ounces.
The method is a great one to try out during the winter months, as Simon Irvine has found out.
He has also been targeting Perch on a Fenland River with light rubber jigs landing 10 Perch to over 1lb.
You may also want to watch:
Paul Sellens had some success on his syndicate at Earith Carp Lakes, landing a 25lb 10oz scaley Mirror which put an end to a long blanking spell.
Gee Brown also landed a new PB Mirror Carp of 34lb 8oz after making a last-minute decision to do an overnight session because of the mild weather. It certainly paid off.
