Hatchet pond (New Forest)

[Guest Anonymous]

I pretty much pioneered this lake in the early 80's as far as Carp are concerned, loads of fruitless nights until one morning after a night facing battering winds in the car park I had about seven fish, all small commons but I was elated. I went on to hammer the place but all commons and none over around 15lb.

 

God that place has changed, it's tighter as in you can't do nights (I used to spend weeks there) but the fish are loads bigger, if you live close enough and fancy a decent day session lake this may help.

Not easy either being days only Kev. I had that fish feeding in the margin at low 30's until a gull flew over and spooked it

Those Gulls have a lot to answer for...............Re: the bird life thread
