Guys heard about this lake called Mercer's lake a few years ago but was closed down at the time but has recently been reopened and taken over by a water sports company called aquasports but can't find any information on there website but have heard on the grape vine that they have opened back up as a syndicate so was wondering if you guys had any information.
Cheers
Helicopter for me i'd go straight through on the mainline, but a bit of good quality tubing would be OK if you feel the need, rigs would depend on what the rig was fishing on, the choddy or something like it would be best, or a wafter if you want something on the deck.
What's wrong with McDonalds ? , then you could have got away earlier .
I hope you are lakeside now , Elmo , surely you didn't get stuck with the washing up as well as the cooking ? .

I first started catching them back in the 90's. Was fishing the Avon a few miles up stream from Tewkesbury, there were 3 of us that used to go fishing together & over a period of time made that stretch of river a great place to fish . We were feeder fishing most of the time & waggler , we started getting hits from preditors on a regular basis so stuck a lure on thinking it was pike or decent perch. First cast & what we all thought was going to be a big pike judging from the fight ended up being a 9lb zander . None of us even realised they were in the river . Was around the time that they were considered a pest & not to be put back. Turned out there were huge shoals of them out there . Started targeting them after this & a popped up dead bait was a great tactic wafting about 2ft off the bottom .
I got my jag file today makes light work of hook sharpening and does a decent job, the eze laps were ok but the jag file is better, quicker and seems to make a better sharper point,
So Watch out carp im coming for you πππ±π€
