Anyone got an opinion on Blackfords AC? Buying a permit next weekend so....

Didn't realise that, I only heard of one coming out. Have you fished there yet? Keep me posted on how you get on throughout the year because I may join again next year. Thanks Smithy

http://www.blackfordsac.co.uk/#/the-pools/4533565962 That's the pools they have got, there are two pools behind the orbital retail park. Do you know the name of the "big sand pit" one it might be worth a look.

I am going to join Blackfords AC this year, going to have a go at all there pools. Just wondering what people think of them before I get a permit. Thanks Smithy

The mere is great. Good luck to you. A 31lb carp came out of there last year just incase you didn't know, think there might be bigger ones though....

I was part of wulac last year. I will tell you a bit about all three pools... swan pit- lots of carp in here. luncheon meat, maggots, corn and halibut pellets pellets all catch carp here. To avoid roach and skimmers luncheon meat or pellets should be used. Sunflower oil is also great here, try meat or halibut pellet soaked in it.. Church pool- best fishing is from may- mid july (too many lillies in august). luncheon meat produces best results. Tong norton mere- maggots used regular on this venue, pellets soaked in some kind of mussel or similar additive. Good results can be had if you put the time in here. Fish towards the end of the mere by the reeds and cast over to the other side. Carp seem to go there.
