A1 pits

[jules007]

I think i might have a dabble on the A1 pits later this year, been meaning to fish this venue a while now, can any one give any info on this place, i quite fancy the second largest pit, is this a good carp lake, and what size do the carp run to

I used to fish pit 6 a little bit, but a long time ago now, so cant be of any help!

By all accounts the pits have started to wake up slowly, had a couple of nights there last year with a few mid teens,

 

Pit five did a 37 over the bank hol , other catch reports are a bit slim on the ground for 5/6, mind they both are fair chunks of water nevermind the depth!

 

Usual tips are find any signs, hoof singles toward the middle at 200yds, 

 

any good bait in the right place will work, inc the margins at night.

 

There was a scraper 40 in pit  5 but after several years of flooding from the trent , fish may have swapped pits or even gone into the river.

 

pit 4 was drained and the snotters removed well most of them, a few more stockies put in.

 

Some guys recently did a 9 day stretch on 5 and blanked, not easy.
