have you ever fished bluebell lake itself pal

would that fisherie be bluebell by any chance beanz

slim, hopefully carl will take the entrance at the roundabout to stanwick lakes and not at the layby like i did when i first visited. :roll : so your eel should be free from extra pressure i can only hope so beanz im going back after that eel this time it wants to be 3lb

its a lovely water carl, i fished it this year 5 times on elsons with only one eel but i shall be back soon, i love the place mate its got a real feelgood factor about it, and the local deleverie drops your take away off at the gates result, pay it a visit carl its a well run water with no numptys allowed

ssssssssh beanz stop telling em about these little gold mines

theres only one lake on the complex thats a syndicate water and that ones called roman, mallard is a good runs water, and elsons is a hardish water, but the fish in there are beut, definately worth a look

i prefer short hair in the summer as my head gets to hot

well done coops/lewis, looks like you enjoyed the session, the last photo of lewis? has his face stayed like that

navies is ok, but that treck over the train bridge with kit theres some largeish carp in there but there condition is.nt up to much,theres also a few large moggies in there,try beadles mate sime

i usually go for the palomar mate simple and strong

sorry messed that up did'nt realise it was a topic about bluebell lakes, excuse

also have a look at stanwick lakes, at funny enough stanwick near wellingborough, try mallard lake on the complex

when you say decent size, how big do you mean?

have you never fished it bob

hi all, does anybdy know about a place called ecton lakes in northampton?

cheers gents for all advise

dream lakes nice place, shame about some of the people who run and fish it

good thinking pal didnt think of cotton that will hold the super glue cheers mate

hi members, just got back from a 48hr session and had 8 carp up to 14lb and a snotter, my question is how can i employ a i.q hooklength with a supple hair of say braid? whilst i was up a tree looking over my baited area in the margins it was only about two feet deep and i could clearly see the fish and my hookbait, dont panic members i was only two seconds from my rods, as i watched fascinated as some lovely big fish came into my baited area and literally stoped 6 inch from my hookbait and started wafting there pecs over my baited area, i am convinced that my hookbait was'nt behaveing correctly and made them suss it, now i know a lot of you will say use braid straight through, but i like i.q hooklength and i was wondering if there is anyway i could use the two materials,i was thinking of tying a 9inch length of i.q with a grinner knot but i am unable to suss a way of fixing the supple braid to the hook tryied rig glue but it dont hold, any ideas boys/girls would be very greatful sime

cheers speersy illhave a look at them mate

no probs pal cheers anyway at least you had respect enough to reply and i'm not down pal just get a bit peed off when some people here complain about the same old threads and i ask a new question about a totally new water and out of 60 odd views you are the only one with respect enough to reply to it

alright lads lets try this 1, i'm not looking for a new water, not willing to travel at all, i want a monster resevoir say 200 acres, with next to no fish in there, and i dont want to pay a penny, any ideas now, no wonder people are leaving this site 60 views and not 1 reply not good adios amigos

dont everyone respond at once your frying my laptop circuits

hi all, just wondering does any one know of a nice water near me [leicester] but i am willing to travel up to 60miles, i'd prefer a small syndicate water up to about 10acres, with a decent head of fish, i am willing to pay up tp £300 for a season ticket any ideas people sime

I can only say practise practise & practise, try tying the knot on cheap mono i'st then move onto your preferd hooklength material,good luck pal
