If you only fish short weekend sessions I'd suggest a local canal or even the weaver but with a bit of pre-baiting beforehand ..... Boilies will still work but I'd mix them with vitalin which is a great pre-bait and bulk it out with corn ..... Try and get some bait in through the week and this can only help your session at the week end Best of luck Lee

Hello lee mate what size carp you after catching ????

5 turn grinner and polamar do the job for me ..... Polamar being my fave ..... Easy to tie and strong .....

If you look at this months catch report I had a few out from the middle pool I find the best way is to fish surface baits or just under the surface with small floaters You can scale down your end tackle as its not a snaggy water I had success with a strong 14 hook and 6lb hooklength My mate did ok on bottom baits 12mill pellets doing the trick but this will also catch you bream ..... Keep the floaters going in a rod length or so out and it won't take long for the carp to start feeding

Same as Ross

I take it your wanting to fish commercials what with only having your match gear .... Brookside as cob said is only 20mins away as is partridge lakes culcheth (both warrington) and wigan also have some decent fisheries that are only half hr away fir tree farm,wrightinton fisheries ..... if you fancy a 50 min drive you can allways try cudmore in staffs ?????

It would help if members knew your location or willingness to travel

Cromwell mate ..... we did a social on there last march and sum lumps came out and a certain member on here is a bit of an expert on there ....... with a 40lb+ to his name last month

What area are you mate

Have a little look at Millbrook Fisheries day ticket but nice little place with some 30+ fish in it Its in Stoke but only 45mins away from me (near Liverpool)

My mrs is on the 3rd book its ace .......... She aint mythered me for the last week n half

Been using the nash for the last 18 months and theve been sound

Ive fished it a few times Jules (I had my stag do there with a bunch of mates ) Its been about 7 years since ive been there and for some reason i dont know why Its an absolutly beautifull place up a mountain and is one of the nicest place ive fished (im not sure if its the highest fishery in the country i cud be wrong tho !) Cant remember if they had showers but i know he has accomadation and wooden bivvie huts so im taking it he has It can get busy in the summer but if you can get on the pegs near the peat islands (they stick out in the summer) there about a 60 yard chuck and your allways guaranteed a run or 2 from there mate

Get yourself a St Helens AA Card m8 i think there about £30 and you get Carr Mill Dam and The Hotties stretch of canal thats chocca with carp up to low 20,s

It's awesome stuff. Used it for leaders and for hooklengths for big stuff. I was shown this by a fellow member at Cromwell (he even give me some coz he,s a nice guy!) and i was amazed by it I dont know if his recent capture included this product i,ll let him comment but lets just say it was a BIG fish

Well done mate

It all depends on if you have access to a car or not theres a few good fisheries within 30mins of Liverpool

Good luck mate

The Guru method feeders are the only safe elastic feeders i know of but i dont like elasticated feeders myself

Got a mate who is thinking of booking......... Any members been ?????

Ask the lads who had 30lb+ fish at cromwell if they hate chods Not everyone hates them mate just some people have different opinions

Slack line or backlead ??
