Cool see u then Im gonna be piking When I get up just going to bed now

There were four guys there over friday night. When I spoke to them they had, had a 19 lb common out. What I can say is if you want to pike fish there alot of pike in there. On friday I was speaking to some friends I met last time and convinced one to follow me down a bit and I did 3 cast and had a 13lb pike out and every few cast there were some decent pulls on the lure. So Im starting to recomend it as a pike lake.. Will be having a good go at it soon and see what happens. onna speak to Mike soon and see about giving it a go soon maybe next week for the week. Will definately be fishing for the pike too..

Nick Again Yeah If anyone comes down the next few day Im gonna be here and more than willing to give some info.. As u come through the gates that get locked Im in the big field in a two man bivvy. If my red peugeot 106 is there Im around just look for me n my rottweiller dont worry she is very friendly just dont walk off with her please as she will go shes that damn friendly. Well if you want any tips u more than welcome to ask. Should be here till 8 October. Sometime Im on my laptop in the first hut by the lakes.. Well cheers all n tight lines

Yeah I was that guy whole fished there for a few months at nights in 2008.. Had about 40 20+ carp out of there most were between 20-22 biggest was a 27.5 common. It was good but been back this year and since they moved the carp to Rib Lake its not fishing so well. Guess there only about 200 carp in that lake now and its so big with so much natural food its a hard time. Fished it for 6 nights and only had 1 17lb carp and lost a fish.. There is alot of crayfish in there and the bottom is very silty after leaving a boilie in there for 4 hours it comes up stinking and brown and u get lots of pulls from the crays.. Well good luck if you fish Rib lake for carp and keep this forum updated with any catches.. O yeah for carp try the small area by the wooden bridge put rods on bridge and fish inside but be ready to fight carp hard as u dont want them getting under the bridge. I had two in one day last year like this.. You will see the swirls as u walk across the bridge.. You must be South African Nick? If so I've heard a fair bit about you from Big Dave He told me you were doing reasonably well on there, but because of the times you were fishing that the bailiff didn't always hear what had been out of the lake, hence the occasional disparity in weights between what they said and what I had heard. Yip thats me and bella my dogs is fine Im down here now but only camping till next week sometime. They refusing to let me fish for less than £20 for the day and as on first 6 nights only got one thought its not worth it as Im only here in the evenings. If u hear of anyone starting to catch on rib lake post it here. Personally I think they gonna need to stock some more carp in there maybe 500 or so to get it fishing properly. From what Ive heard they dont really wanna spend money on it yet they more interested in the trout lake. LOL just saw a truck coming now with the trout in tanks on it so any trout fisherman get down now as they stocking it.. Im thinking of try Willows Lakes in St Albans from next week gonna go down there and see what the baliff says. Seems like they got a few 40's in there so it could be fun..

For some decent carp try by the hare n hounds pub... Ive had a 27 and 4 mid teens out there in two sessions.. Using pop-ups and feeding hallibut pellets. Its shallow like 4 foot so use back leads so barges dont pick up your lines. Fish from the opposite bank of pub as no one walks there. Any of the swims is good most fish come in the night and try put up some kind of marker so barges see you are fishing so they pass by u on opposite side of canal.
