the walk with your kit to eric's pool is heart attack material and masters is a concrete bowl with two many pegs on it for 1/2 acre lake

you may have left it a bit late for booking france this year,bluebell is a nice place it has got a clean shower block tackle shop and once you are on the site you will not here any traffic ,just the wlidlife they will also let you charge stuff phone's baitboats etc in shop,linear is also a good place to spend a week they also have a shower on site lots of lakes with decent fish in be warned it gets busy.

no mate no fish called mandy it did have a few doubles in before it closed it has changed hands a few years back and i think it's up for sale again,but its only small with about 8 pegs on it

if your after bream go on bluebell lake itself it's full ov them mallard is a very weedy lake and difficult

yeh what he said

as 20 of us are fishing it the last weekend in march i think we should be able to give upto date info after that

the owner won't let you do 24h session un less you are a regular aswell

well i'm off to sandurst for the social in march thats my first trip out this year then a good few 36-48 hour session's then i'm off to rusheslake france on the 18th sept do you know it

is it also a cat venue? i fished there last year the bloke who had landed the record cat from there was doing same weekend as me he was telling me about the lake you are on about and he said there were 70lb cats up the hill, btw won't be fishing it again

yes steve ringers white shelfish bollies 10mm do tne damage

martina cole writes some good story's,if you like crime and underworld stuff

there are brackets on both sides of each platform to put bank sticks in

don't use spod not really needed use method or pva bags i usually catapult about 30 small balls ov ground bait out then just wait and fish method over top of it and keep feeding in front of you put a line on it later in day,and hang on to your rod the runs are screamers but although decent average 12-15lb fish most have deformed mouths worse day 11 fish best day 42 fish this really is a runs water with flat sand clay bottom,the only snags really are the boards under you if they get under there forgett it i have never night fished it tho as you couldn't get a bivvy up but i think there is about 10 pegs with room 4 bivvy's now maybee more check for details drayton info 01132816895

i have fished drayton a few times i go there if i've blanked a few times just to get a run and yes if you don't bag up there give up pegs 14-29 and 88-104 good pegs you can fish under your rod tip after 4pm with just sweetcorn if you get it right 1 rod is enough as you will defo get double takes i have had to get my m8 to land fish on other rod every time i have been and i've had to do the same for him,on one occasion there was 4 of us in row with 8 fish on at same time pure madness lines everywhere

i went on 5th jan once there was 5 people on st'johns mind you the hurricane may have put people off

all depends whether you are fishing for carp or cats worm or squid for the cats i have seen 33lb carp come out on paste,don't bother taking any cans or alcohol with you they have very strict rules there you will also need 50" landing net you can hire them from mark the owner if you don't have 1.the lake is very small aswell but nice place

yes i would say it's the busiest lake i have ever fished by far.to many lines in,good size fish but some weeks 40 anglers 3rods each can't produce a bite between them

check with roy the bailiff before you go mate it gets very very busy i have been a few times and not got on, i started fishing hunts corner instead if you can get on it i would fish hunts only 10 pegs on 9acre lake very peacefull edited for text talk x2gsd

you also have to be off site by 6pm even in summer unless you are staying the night

3.5 hour drive to a place would have to be booked would not like to turn up on off chance,i watched the welsh carp championship from there on tv,a good few fish came out decent size aswell might be worth looking into social

kingsbury water park has some nice fish,i think you can camp on site but no night fishing but only about £4 a day to fish,and a few slabs of beer and a bbq on the night could make fairly cheap holiday,also billing aquadrome has a few lakes plus river running through site

bluebell ok but expensive but so are most places nowdays celtic lakes in wales might be an idea leaving the country might make it feel a bit more like a holiday abroad

discocarper 6euro for a packet of bacon is stupid price in any country

may not be true but i was told you can buy a season ticket for a £1000 a year for bluebell lakes,but you can fish any of the lakes as many times as you want for that i would want to live there
