Also forgot to add once your a member you can fish all the other lakes free whenever you want.

You can night fish but you have to become a member and i think its £60 for the 1st year then £50 each year after. On top of that you have to pay £2 for each 12hrs you do on the specimen lake. Biggest fish probably about 25lb and you should be able to go today and get a ticket. Hope this helps

Not really many decent ones around here. Probably shatterford best place if your after decent fish. Ones i know of are Evesham vale Pool hall Fisherwick Barston Dingle fishery Weston lawns Lakeside Sheepy Magna Leighton Pools All those you can night fish Theres some more just cant think of them at the minute

Yes. That's the resevoir............. Looks bloody bosting

Is it that perfectly formed rectangle pool?

It might be the same pools my dad used to take me as a kid. Did it used to be full of crucians and small carp?

I've only fished matches there in the past, when it was only about 2ft deep like you said. But since then i think its changed owners and they have cleared all the bottom. Apparently its about 5-6 foot deep now and they restocked some fish into it. I have only been for a look since but not fished it

Just feather the cast with your finger and then you will be able to keep a fairly tight line for when it hits the water. Also keep your rod tip high and just as its about to hit the surface i lower the rod with it. Then as it hits the bottom you will feel the rod bounce back and the line will go slack.

They say that dotting putty along your hooklink is supposed to kick the hookbait away from the lead. But who knows for sure unless you get underwater and watch it land. And it might land differently with each cast.

Hi mate im not gonna put you down anymore i know its a bad rig. With your mainline thread that through the tubing and tie it to the lead. With the rubber bead you need it to be sliding so that in the result of a snap the fis can free the tubing and the lead, so all its left with is the hooklink. If its moving too much the best thing to do is buy a smaller bead but not too tight, or just tie a little piece of pva tape on it. Hope this helps

Dont think anyone owns it now but i know its supposed to be rough. Not somewhere i would fish on my own.

Once went to kingsbury water park after a bank holiday and it looked like a bomb had hit the place. I even helped the ranger pick some of the litter up it was that bad. I think he said he filled somewhere in the region of 20 black bin bags just round the one lake. That was due mainly from the argos brigade fishing in the holidays. Its normaly ok any other time. I dont see why its so hard to take it home with you though.

Swag Burntwood Tench,Perch,Roach and Pike. Free fishing. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=52.678981,-1.946538&spn=0.001519,0.003433&t=h&z=18

Lol Good to see a 20lb though as i was begining to think there wasnt any in there. Might see you up there sometime

Nah its not the same fish i just seen it in your thread This is the mirror i caught twice at around 18lb 8oz then i caught it again a month later This is the best common i had there which was 16lb something All the rest was low doubles i think i caught about 15 there in total last year

Yeah sainsburys is a bit tougher because of the low fish stocks. Everytime ive been to the turf though ive had between 5-10 fish in a day, havent been for a while though. Have you got a large photo of that fish in your avatar? If its a mirror of around 18lb i caught that twice last year lol would be intresting to see it if you dont mind

would agree with you on this one paul but it's been froze over for the last 3 weeks and there has only been three fish pulled out in the last 4 months 4 Months ? I think not, i had a 12lb and my stepson a couple of smaller fish in mid to late November I have found Turf pretty tough on the occaisions i've fished it during 2008 and certainly wouldn't class it as an easy water, maybe its down to the angling pressure or the up and down weather but a lot of people on there have commented on how tough its been on there. Personally i wouldn't even think about spodding thereat the moment, single baits and watching for the showing fish worked for us last time we were there and no one else caught during the couple of sessions we had there in November so we must have done something right. Tight Lines The turf is an easy runs water. I,ve been before in summer where nobodys been catching and all you have to do is use your head and do something different and you catch easy. Same as calf heath you can catch at least 5-10 carp in a day if you take enough bait. Trouble with them pools is too many noobs go there that spoil it for others, thats why you dont get many fishing sainsburys pool because they cant catch at all. I was told that a hard water but i found out its not really, you just gotta use watercraft and be quiet and do things different.

Yeah i aint seen many fishing it when ive been driving past.

You joined at wrong time really as you will have to renew in may. But on that pool by the turf i used to catch between 5-10 carp a day. I just used to pick a spot with marker as its all roughly same depth then put a few spods out and fish both over same area. Then i would top up the swim after each fish. Dont know about this time of yeah but if i was to go i recon spodding maggotts would work well

Cheers mate it looks a nice lake in summer. Think you can night fish it too but i seen you cant use boilies which isnt much of a problem its just would get pestered by tench as like you said i think theres alot. Saying that i enjoy catching tench on a float rod.

Ive been there before for a look and the matchmen said there wasnt any carp but i think they just dont want carpers there. I'd like to know myself if theres many carp as id like to join cos its only 5 minutes away.

Is that the caravan holiday Park Paul, with a small club house? Small pool then the lake? As I went there over 20 years ago No i think you might mean unity farm or maybe northan farm in brean? Northam Farm, Brean, has a small lake/large pool that looks unlikely. Despite that I fished it when my wife and I stayed there in our touring caravan in 2007. I had some very nice fish from that water. Best was 18.5lb mirror. Nobody was carp fishing while I was there, just me. The other anglers were mostly holidaymakers using Argos-type tackle....or that stuff sold in the promenade toyshops....and not catching much. I had a look at the Unity Park pool while there. Looked rather nice, or as nice as an overfished, holiday park water can be. Ian I went in about 1990 or something when they first made the lake. It was hard fishing at first but each year we went it got better and better as it matured. That little pool was good too on the pole but i used to get pestered by eels

Used to go to a little lake called emerald lake just past burnham on sea when i went on holiday ages ago. Not sure what its like now but there was sturgeon in there aswell
