Anyone Fished Somerley Lake recently?

[dan_white11]

Hi all,

 

I am new to the forum and have only just picked up the rods after 7 years away from the sport but I have well and truly caught he bug again.

 

Anyway I am hoping to fish somerley this sunday but have never fished it before.

 

Has anyone fished it recently? If so how was it fishing.

 

I guess it is mostly gravel bottom but is there much weed or silt on the bottom? Am trying to work out my best bet for rigs etc

 

I was planning to go with mainline cell 15mm hook bait and a pva mesh of crushed cells and pellets. Was going to go for one rod on the bottom and one on the popup.

 

Things seemed to have changed a lot since I last fished with chod rigs, zigs etc etc so was hoping to keep it nice and simple with a basic coated braid hair on the bottom and hinged one for the popup.

 

Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers dan
