I did my final baiting up this afternoon ready for Wednesdays session. Another 2.5kg of mix gone out over 3 spots, the best day weather wise is Thursday but Wednesday is looking good with highs of 9 and lows of 6. I'm absolutely gagging to get out

Cheers Yonny, ideally I would of liked 6 weeks of baiting the same area twice a week, but time is of the essence at this time of year. Having the water so close is great for driving down and getting in some bait, regardless of fish, I shall enjoy it

No problems with dogs, but must be on a lead (although dog walkers tend not to follow that rule) Personally I have had a couple of roach over 2lb out of there, along with numbers well over 1lb and had roach sessions disturbed by carp... Its fun trying to play a bigger carp on 8lb braid to 4lb hooklink! Sweetcorn or maggot over groundbait has been my standard bait. Only a few pike over 20 have been caught, but you consider its potential is not yet known, as it has not been heavily fished for pike. I think its quoted as over 350 acres, roughly double the size of Ardleigh, which is in itself not a small water at 167. I can't remember the price of a season ticket, think its around £100, day tickets from tackle shops are £7.50, £15 on the bank.

Thanks everyone, I've decided to go with the Hydro Tuff in 15Ib, I'm confident it will help with the rocks and gravel often found in my local waters. Thanks again.

I don't even look at breaking strain on the box it' all about diameter would only drop down to 0.30 if there are no snags, weed ect and I had to cast long even then I'd be wary.
