Hi Daniel, Not really a hard venue but you won't get more than a couple in a day tbh, what works elsewhere should generally work there. Biggest fish are probably low 20's and not very many that size. Floater fishing can work well there if you can avoid the ducks. Tight lines

Hi All, Does anyone have any info at all on this water, sydicated etc... If you'd prefer to PM me the info please do so. Thanks

Lol Good to see a 20lb though as i was begining to think there wasnt any in there. Might see you up there sometime Yeah might well do m8

Just gonna pop to specsavers

Nice fish m8, how big was the common? Looks a really nice fish

Hi Paul I would agree about calf heath and i've had fish to 17 out of turf but only started there in Sept and its been pretty tough since tbh. The pic in my avatar is from Sainburys pool m8, very tough water and not many in there but thats my PB so the perseverance paid off there

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

Doh!!! I saw new posts and got really hopefull then

There you go Kev I would also be interested in joining brewood anglers if anyone has any ideas? I know Jemsue5 has previously stated you need to be nominated and then seconded and still have to wait to join, does anyone know any different?

http://www.barstonlakes.co.uk/ Plenty of info on there and pics

This fish was caught on the new Dynamite Frank Warwick developed Spicy Tuna and Sweet chilli Boilie (sounds good) http://www.dynamitebaits.com/index.php?id=1035 Also a couple of pieces about someone catching on them whilst field Testing, also reading in this months carpworld that they are to release Terry Hearns Red fish (with added robin red) No doubt there will be a few others coming along too

You mean the mill as in Cuttle mill ? If so you have already been advised where to look http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=37336 ADDED - Apparently there own baits that they sell on site are supposed to go pretty well

I would say the method with mini or standard boilies would be the general method used by a lot of the carpers there the same as drayton and it would be the 1st thing i would try

Agreed and doubled with bells on, really not worth the risk my friend

Try this http://www.fisheries.co.uk/boddington/index.htm and hope maybe someone on here has fished there more recently I would think if it fishes in a similar vein to Drayton that the Method would be your best bet

Thanks Think i'll wait till the spring borrow my dads bird permit (i'll pass for 61 honest) and then go and have a looksey, i may not EVER get to fish for one of the monsters that lurk in there but i can possibly see a few and have a little weep

Oh i could borrow my Dads West midland birdclub permit to gain access for a look Hmmm

Thanks Nick I had read through them all before posting, just wanted definate clarification I'm pretty sure it is controlled by Brewood but just wanted to know as much info as i can get hold of

Hi all After a bit of info, not far from me this place and i know to a few (birdwatchers) who have seen HUGE fish in this water Just like to know if it is controlled by Brewood anglers and whether it is as difficult as mentioned in other threads i have come across to get into Brewood anglers Thanks

Use the search facility as this topic has come up before Here is one thread i found very quickly but i'm sure there will be more http://www.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=36957

Grrrr Thinking outside the box i have trouble with Anyway i'm sure you'll reveal all to your beloved forum members soon enough ADDED --- Now i'm thinking a bottom bait on hair the normal way and a popup tied to the curve of the hook towards the point to hold hook off bottom But hey i know nothing

Lets see, from your description, I don't think its the same. I know Brian has seen a pic (rig in my hand) and tried tying some up to play with. I do know that the first fish I hooked on the rig was landed, and hooked very squarely centre of the bottom lip. Shows that my thinking may well be right on what I'm trying to achieve. May only have been another 8lb Common, but its more than has been coming out of the lake recently. I'm thinking it could be a dumbell shaped bottom bait topped with a larger popup making it look like a mushroom Its caught one so far so it obviously works to an extent, i'm intrigued to actually know exactly what and how it may work Hope your not still holding out on us

Probably not Gave it its name on how it sits in practice, and what it looks like Well good luck with it anyway, maybe it'll get you that target fish of yours, look forward to the update

Got to admit, not sure that carp will be overly interested in singing and dancing mushrooms though

I believe patience is a virtue
