I done 24hrs Friday night and found the same as you. Couldn't buy a bite and they were just chilling in the shallows. Always guaranteed a fish or two at the minimum. Was supposed to be there for 36hrs but packed up early which I NEVER do. Usually it's "just 1 more bite". What made me pack away...... Firstly found out that for a year the owner has been getting any carp over 7lb and tench over 4lb put in a shallow weed choked pond in hope they'll breed and eat the weed That annoyed me but though maybe there's still a chance. But what actually made me pack away was the two anglers staying onsite in a caravan. They came down to a bivvy they had left setup(over a week according to another guest) already washing a can down the ones neck. They threw 3 lines in the water and all I could hear for 45mins was beep, beep, beeeep as they fiddle with the delkims Keeps getting better After they finished messing with the alarms they left the lake with they're lines still in the water, locked up the caravan n left the site. I reeled them in By the time I'd put the kit & bivvy down and loaded it all in the car they'd not returned. Found another review over a week old complaining about the same thing. Won't be going back there

As above don't wear crocs or plastic soled shoes that don't grip on muddy banks, not only can you slip fall in you can also slip, fall in land on your rod, snap it to pieces, break your reel and smash your bite alarm to smithereens. As I found out this weekend, I was only trying to wash my hands after baiting 😱🫣 To make matters worse whilst trying to reel this in I hooked a stupid jack pike,getting that in was fun, would rather catch a bream. Needless to say if was an expensive trip and the shoes have gone in the bin.
