evening gents, thanks for getting back
i'm on a farm reservoir at the moment, near ely, cambs. 18 acres and around 250carp - 20's mostly, 7 known 30's. nice water, definately keeping hold of the ticket for the long term as the fish are stunning, and with age, they're gonna put on weight too. lots lots weed.....
i'm certainly not looking for a rock hard water, i wanna be banking fish more often than not -but i aint greedy. definately not another large farm res', i'd prefer tree's, lilly beds, weed, reeds.... something to target, other than banging out beds of food into clear spots. open waters great, dont get me wrong, but a change on another good water is what i'm after.
ok, theres plenty of day waters out there, but can get over run with line everywhere. greedy water keepers are a menace....
my local day waters a challenge as i know there's +30lb ghosties in there - i caught em when they were high teens over 20 years ago. i watch em , but they're smart them ghosties. biggest one out last year (and the only big un) was 36lb of perfect ghost. but, it can get too busy. especially as its mostly course fishing.
i've put my name down for stanwicks - but its a four year waiting list. something needed for next season really.
speak soon
