a weeks fishing...but where?

[pompeydan27]

hi,

am going fishing for a weeks holiday in early october. i am looking for any suggestions as to where to go. obviously somewhere where a 30lber is a possibility. so whats your suggestions?

[chunkiesgreat]

What about Elphics in Kent?

 

I suppose it depends where you are coming from and what you would like to do. Is it just fish a lake/res or would you like to dip into some river action as well?

[jules007]

if your in pompey just as well go to linear lakes

france?

[pompeydan27]

france is booked for next may glen....can't wait, but till then i will be fishing in this country. not really worried about travelling, upto 300 miles from portsmouth or in that range isn't a problem.

 

linear isn't really some where that interests at the moment, with the amount of tackle thiefts being reported there at the moment.

 

elphicks is on our list to fish chunkie, and am looking to only carp fish on a lake/res as have done alot of general fishing over the last few months through teaching and tutoring new fishermen

bluebell complex ?????

[jules007]

how about orchid at oxford, you wont find a more secure and lovely venue, but can be a hard water though

[pompeydan27]

yes ward, bluebell does looking inviting for a weeks fishing. as for orchid lakes i have fished that for the last year and agree it can be a hard water, but a great place to fish, however want to try else where

What about A1 pits in Nottingham, going end of october for 1 week, only 10 pounds for twenty four hours, 6 lakes fish to over 40lbs, parking at the back of swims, sounds to good, you could let me know what its like.

[pompeydan27]

really £10 for 24 hours???

[glenw]

yes mate 10 sheets for 24hrs its my home away from home

[pompeydan27]

have i got i right that there are a few lakes on the complex? whats your best advice for fishing the place?

[glenw]

yes mate there aew six lakes if you want a few runs then pit 2 or 3

pit 4 has alot of bream and some nice carp in there and then there is 5 and 6 which are bigger pits with the bigger carp in. fishing it best bet is to drive round and watch the water first then most tactics work but freezer baits and pop ups do it for most.

 

hope that helps

all sounds good, is it a weedy water and is it a secure place to fish? the £10 for 24 hours, is that for 3 rods or 2?

[glenw]

pit 6 is vey weedy in places at the min but the rest are fine mate, i would say its very secure mate the gate gets locked at night too, and the price is for up to 4 rods at the minute pal

[pompeydan27]

it all sounds too good, must be a catch carp hopefully will have to see if my fishing buddy and driver wants to go, its only a 4 hour drive so hope he goes for it
