muftyboy Posted November 17, 2013 Report Posted November 17, 2013 good evening. has anybody got any experience of catch 22 in norfolk, thinking of doing a couple of days there before xmas ( weather permitting) so any info would be appreciated. cheers mufty Quote
dalthegooner Posted November 17, 2013 Report Posted November 17, 2013 Sorry mate, never fished it. I know it's no help, but it looks OK on the website. There look to be some lovely fish in there. Quote
muftyboy Posted November 17, 2013 Author Report Posted November 17, 2013 they allways look great on the website , its a bit bigger than im used to fishing , have to get some casting practise in case i need it. mufty Quote
pearbo Posted November 18, 2013 Report Posted November 18, 2013 Fished it twice last year and quite a few times about 15 years ago. I like the place but it ain't easy, had a lovely 20lb mirror there on my last trip by hurling a method ball into the middle at night, I get the impression a greater percentsge of the fish come out at night. There is a lot of bream, or I'm great at catching them, one of the two. I reckon it'd be hard work this time of year but there are some lumps if u can persuade one to feed. Quote

pearbo Posted November 19, 2013 Report Posted November 19, 2013 You'll want a barrow mate, never thought about the perch but there was a bit in improve your coarse fishing a couple of years ago and the bloke had a 20lb carp, a big bream and a 3lb roach in the article. He was fishing maggot feeder I believe. Some monstrous eels in there suposidly and quite a few tench. Quote
muftyboy Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Posted November 19, 2013 cheers pearbo, a 3lb roach would smash my pb by about 2lb , ive been debating for a while about fishing for other species again , this could be the place to start. mufty Quote
millersthumb Posted December 4, 2013 Report Posted December 4, 2013 they allways look great on the website , its a bit bigger than im used to fishing , have to get some casting practise in case i need it. mufty Yes i know what you mean about looking great on the website fished a complex in mid cambridgeshire near St Ives will not be wasting my time there again. As for catch 22 i would try other forums for info, or googling it to see what has been posted. Quote
