  1. I struggled the first time i fished pine pool. Same problem weed. Instead of just going there to fish, i walked it a few times in the day with the sun out and got a good look at the make-up of the bottom. In most places its only a few feet deep and with polarised glasses you can see all pretty easy. I noticed fish visit certain parts of the lake during different times through out the day. Once i did my homework i went yesterday afternoon and got on the peg i wanted as there wasnt many fishing. My choice of rig was the invisible chod rig with a bright pop-up. There were lots of fish jumping and topping in front of me but were not interested in feeding. i decided to bring my rigs in close at about 7 oclock as i noticed a few passing close in. I was fishing about 8ft from the bank and after 10 minutes i had my first run. It was a 22Ib very dark lovely mirror carp. Following my recast i only had to wait 5mins before another take. While i was playing it my other rod screamed off! As i was on my own i just let it run until i netted the 1st, quickly weighed it - it was 21.6 mirror then put it back before grabbing my other rod just intime before it took my round the island. due to the amount of line it took, it then took me 15mins to get it in. This 1 was 21Ib and a bright orange coloured mirror - all 3 were cracking looking fish. Pine pool is definately worth it if your willing to put a bit of effort in. Saying that im lucky as i only live local and can pop there for a walk rd anytime. Hope the above helps.
  2. fished pine pool today for the first time. Had a nighmare with weed! stuff is everywhere and really thick in some places. Switched onto swann lake as weed is ok on there but got pestered by ducks and gulls whenever i cast and almost impossible to throw any bait out as they dive straight down for it. unfortunately a duck dived and had my bait. It put up one hell of a struggle but managed to net it and release without too much damage. switched back to pine but no joy. All in all it was a mare of a day. Think pine is a place you need to do some homework before fishing.
  3. Thanks for info. Will still have the odd night their now and then just for a bit of rod bending. It was a good learning curve for me trying new rigs as i only took up carp fishing last year(taking a break from pike). All i have done is fished my local canal for carp so far but thats hard work due to boats. I am going to fish Kingsbury pine pool this year as i only live just around the corner from it. I have seen some pictures of some of the fish in there and they are a lovely dark colour and there is some big uns as well. Walked it loads and really like it and im lucky as i have the odd day off from work in the week so it wont be so busy when i fish it. Scott
  4. Hi all, Just after some info on Clifton Lakes if anyone has fished it. Just after ideas on size of carp in there. I fished it for the first time this week. I arrived Thursday evening and stayed until Friday afternoon. I caught 29 carp largest a ghost at 17lb and the smallest a common of 8lb. the majority of the fish were around the 14lb mark. I was just wondering if anyone knows of bigger fish in there. the lake i fished was serpentine. It was great sport but thought out of 29 fish there would of been a 20plus amongst them?
