Thread moved to Where to Fish in UK.

 

I would also suggest that you put up a Search for "Monument" as there has been quite a bit on it in the Past

 

Possibly one of the best people to ask for more on it is Jemsue5, if he's willing or able to tell you

ok cheers 4 tht m8

Mat Hayes did 2 programs from there, they should be repeated on Sky TV.

 

From memory M1 boilies are fed on mass by the owner, so I'd give them a go with plenty freebies.

 

I also think they did OK on maggots, using a feeder rig.

 

Pretty much each swim has underwater features, so get that marker rod out.

 

Hope this is of some help?

[milo06]

thnx mate help much appreatiated have you done any days/ nyts on it ???????????

[kevtaylor]

Sorry mate - never been, but maybe in future.

 

Good luck anyway

hi mate on one rod you need maggots on a korda klip and maggots in a pva bag,on the other m1 boilies you can get the boilies from the monument there is features on the bottom of the lake about 50 yards out from any swim hope this helps,allso go on the monument web site it will who is catching what

[jemsue5]

I havent fished it for a while but I do tend to keep in touch with whats happening there. Maggots are a must as most of the fish still get caught on them. I found big bunches of maggots didnt work as well as just a few on the hook or 5 or 6 super glued to a nylon d rig. Try using a large drennan blockend feeder instead of PVA bags its far cheaper and just as good. Other than that I had a few on flouros fished with 2 bait stringers cast out to the middle of the lake. Other than pegs 2 and 3 the features never produced for me it was always out in the middle where I caught.

[kevinp]

im on there in june21 and 22nd if any one else is im on peg 11

[nicko15]

in this months carp talk a guy had an 11 fish catch with the biggest being a 46lb mirror, using pva bags filled with maggots. so from what everyone has said and judging by the catch reports it looks like maggots are definately the way to go.

i found plastic corn with pellet and sweetcorn in bags do the business mate danny ward have four twentys in a day last april to 28-10 also i used small bright bolies little nash air ball pop ups over pellet soaked in tiger juice also good

[phssll]

is anyone fishing the monument this week ? or fished it over the last couple of weeks ?

[blalucas]

i av seen that lake on tv with matt hayes they cought a 40 and loads of other fish on

 

m1 boilies and a big pva bag of pellet and m1 boilies. they were casting out a lot and if you ask the owner there are features under the water ask him were they are and that is were the fish normally are

 

 

 

hopefully it work

 

hope i was help

 

 

from matt

[phssll]

thanks mate any info is of help that is the info i have though at the moment i was wondering if anyone had fished i more recent and if baits and tactics had moved on or are they pretty much a banker and its just down to presentation etc ?

 

also does anyone know if the fish have spawned yet ? it would be just my bloody luck to get there and they are spawning for 2 days

[carpcrazy01]

if your going to feed alot them spod a mixture of m1 boilies and pellets then p.v.a bag over the top thats wat most people on the programs ive watched do on it.

active 8s r spoze to b doing the bussness at the moment

[gradea]

its so seasonal there, Maggots in the winter, false snails in the spring. Corn is always worth a try. Plus because they are so well fed and its quite pressured the slightest thing knocks them off the feed. On the side banks the features may as well not be there casting into the middle of the lake seems to get the results., either way its worth looking at the water and the conditions and be prepared to adapt, if a guy on the far bank catches on a zig the odds are the fish are in the upper layers

[johnplumb]

I wonder how he got on , as he asked the question 2 years ago
