Went today, not a bad place, the water was crystal clear and it was a bit shallow. Saw no movement at all and after 3 hours of trying lots of different things i gave up, I just got this feeling nothing was going to happen. Its a big water and I new nothing about it, if anybody does fish it and has info it would be greatly appreciated. Paul

Hi all Has anybody fished Victory Quarry in dove holes near Buxton? I have been told it has lots of double figure carp up to 20lb and is a bit of a runs water. But that's all I know! Any other info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I havnt heard of anything being caught on there of late, The balif wants it to be one of the best waters in the north, but he is doing nothing to improve it. Its dying a death that place. keep me updated mate

Has anyone any catch reports on this water over august/november??

Sounds really good where is Carrbrook?

What is this water for £30??

Been on twice, only for 2 12 hour day sessions. There have been loads fishing it but i still havnt heard of anything great coming out, no big carp anyway.

Not sure if i understand what you have wrote there Martin?

Thanks for your advice lads, it looks to me like this is a dieing water, John needs to do something to spice things up. Sooner or later people are not going to bother. I am going to give it another go in a month or so. Keep me posted and i will do the same.

Anybody had much luck yet on here??

Defo not a 38lb in coombs mate, Been speaking to sum people and they are coming out but its a waiting game. Gonna keep trying and will get there 1 day. P.s walked round today and 4 lads were on there with 11 rods between them and they had not had anything.

A up lads Just returned from Gawsworth. Ha Ha what a waste of time, they are obviously still spawning. Got on there for 6am and saw a little movement but they wernt going mad, me and my mate set up opposite the island and chucked our 1st rods out with boilies on both over pva bags filled with pellets and hemp. Not a sniff all day, we had 1 knock each which i am putting down to a line bite anyway.I put my second in the margins where i saw a little movment in the first couple of hours in the morning. Got a run and landed a 1lb-2lb Chub.I baited the margins all day just little and often. Moved me rod around the lake and back to the margins.Nothing! Come 10am there was no movement at all. Spoke to John and he said they are spawning and because the weather is unusually cold they are taking a long time to do it and are showing no intrest in food. We tried everything but no luck. There were 2 lads in the corner with 3 rods each out and not even a knock on any, there were a few lads who came and went within a couple of hours. It hasnt put me off, just bad timing i suppose.Gonna try again in a month or so, let it warm up Anyway, keep up dated on how you all get on.

I have heard today off the local tackle shop man that there are fish coming out and not to put much bait in. What methods did you use and baits? I will try something different to you and let you know how i get on, I am going with me mate and we are going to try allsorts. Paulo! P.s Heard the fish are in the margins at the mo, gonna put a line there.

Cheers mate, have you fished it recently? How did you get on, you heard of much coming out??

Fantastic mate That is great advice, i shall look out for these new winds and let you know how i get on. Any info i can help you with i would be glad to help. Thanks again. P.s keep me posted on your success and i will do the same.
