Hey Androo, nice how was Stanwick? Was it a nice lake to fish and would you recommend it for a day ticket? Definately would like to see some pics

Total was 11 carp and 4 bream so a great session! Definately going Chestnut Pools again

Thanks mate! I started off with the method on one rod and solid PVA bags on the other, casting out to the gap inbetween the islands. I was catapulting balls of method mix and then boilies over the spots. Later in the session I wandered down to the corner searching for the larger fish and put about 100 boilies under a overhanging willow tree, came back an hour or so later and put the rods in, just with weights and GLM boilies. The biggest I caught was a 13.5 lb but it lookd much larger I'll post the pics below Great let me know how you get on at Stanwick I'll check it out online and see how far away it is. Jason

Just a quick update guys, I've just got back from a days fishing at Chestnut Pools, it was a very hot day and it was a lovely lake. I managed to bank 15 fish too, 4 bream and 11 carp! Mostly just over 10 lb biggest was 13.5lb but they looked a lot bigger. I'll upload some pics soon Jason

Sounds good, I'll be fishing mid-week anyway so that should be fine. I have thought about that, I'm jsut worried about limiting myself to those waters only if I pay to join a club. I have no idea which one I should join either. I'm based in Luton so maybe Luton AC? Jason

Thanks for your reply Androo, I've seen some larger fish pics on that lake, I'm hoping above 10 lb, I saw it is stocked with smaller carp but fingers crossed! I am getting better and your right the method feeder is more for smaller fish but I've caught quite well the last 2 times by putting in bait around it, I'm also trying out pva solid bags which landed 2 10 lb bream they're not carp but I'm getting there. That one in my display pic was on a feeder I do think I'm going to try chestnut pools midweek so check back around Friday and ill let you know how I get on

I'm also keen to try Chestnut Pools if anyones fished there before/recently?

Hey guys, I'm looking to try a new lake next week, I regulary fish Manor Farm in Biggleswade and I'm interested to try somewhere new. I'm looking for a day ticket lake with a chance of catching the larger carp, I'm hoping for a decent venue stocked over 30lbs. I have heard about Henlow Bridge Lakes which looks nice but I can't find any reviews if anyone has fished there before? I look forward to some advice. Jason
