Guest keenook Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Just wondered if any one on here have fished it, I don't need to know about baits, rigs ect, just how you have done and is it still a nice place to spend some time? Cheer''s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travisbickle Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 never fished it Kev but its a stunning water....did consider it at one point due to rumours of some right donkey sized eels...(my second love) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest keenook Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Yes Del it's an awesome pit, big sheet of water with some big un-caught lumps in there, and only about 5 miles from where we are moving to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest keenook Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Thats one of the waters i always intended to fish but never got round to it. Hi Gary, I have fished it in the past, but well before I started Carp angling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garysj01 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 To be honest it looked a little daunting to me i prefer smaller lakes but the rumours were great even back then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travisbickle Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Lucky sod Kev...nice little spot to recooperate in ....is it still on a mid kent ticket??..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest keenook Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 To be honest it looked a little daunting to me i prefer smaller lakes but the rumours were great even back then I know what you mean Gary, it's big, but I do not find that daunting, for sure it will take some hard work, but they are in there! The thing with this water is that I can do my own thing and not many anglers to compeate with, I love that as it is Me and the Carp, as it should be! There are some awesome looking bays and features to explore, and explore I shalll, and if I can catch one or two fish in a season, then I will be happy, for each fish will be very special! Yes Del, MKF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garysj01 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 yeah ive heard it before, when fishing big venue's like that to try and cut the fishing down to certain bays depending on wind direction and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed Gary and more so because of the lack of pressure on the Carp, natural if you will, therefore the watercraft should be text book stuff! That and exploring areas may just get a result or two, real Carp angling that I love so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garysj01 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Definetly a location, location, location water i can imagine that being paramount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest keenook Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Definetly a location, location, location water i can imagine that being paramount Quiet so Gary, but as said, the Carp will act naturaly, text book stuff! The great thing for me is the unknown, even in 2012! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
