phildalton1982 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Posted September 22, 2015 Hi lads,anyone been here or can recommend? Thinking of doing a 48hr sesh end October Quote
muftyboy Posted September 22, 2015 Report Posted September 22, 2015 I've been a few times mate, what lake you thinking of fishing Quote
phildalton1982 Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Posted September 22, 2015 Don't know,there's 7 yes?? Quote
muftyboy Posted September 22, 2015 Report Posted September 22, 2015 Don't know,there's 7 yes?? Yes mate , but 4 of them are match lakes. I've fished the speci a few times (mallard), blanked the 1st 2 times but had 3 on my last visit, it's very weedy and you need to book. Bridges does what it says on the tin, runs water , gets busy , but out of all the comercials around that part of the world I'd say it's my favourite. You can park by your swim and the cafe does decent food and fishing wise the average size is around mid double. 20s come out on a regular basis. Haven't fished puma but from what I'm told it is pretty much the same as bridges. Might be worth giving them a bell as when I was there the time about a year ago they had a new lake , not sure if it's open yet though as they don't update the website. Quote
phildalton1982 Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Posted September 22, 2015 Been googling mallard or puma maybe? Good catch reports, 29lb and 27lb each lake. Doing a 48 hr so should get something decent Quote
phildalton1982 Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Posted September 22, 2015 But more googling,catch reports 30s coming out!! Quote
muftyboy Posted September 22, 2015 Report Posted September 22, 2015 What catch reports are you reading mate?. The website only goes up to may 2014 Quote
muftyboy Posted September 22, 2015 Report Posted September 22, 2015 But more googling,catch reports 30s coming out!! If you fish mallard and catch then you definitely stand a chance of a 30. Bridges I think you'd be very lucky. Â So tell me , do you feel lucky punk? Quote
phildalton1982 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Posted September 23, 2015 I might do a recce first,maybe a day,it's only 40mins from me Quote
muftyboy Posted September 23, 2015 Report Posted September 23, 2015 I might be doing a weekend down there myself on the 10th of October. It's either monks or Frant. Quote
phildalton1982 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Posted September 23, 2015 Nice, make it monks,I need the info! muftyboy 1 Quote
muftyboy Posted September 23, 2015 Report Posted September 23, 2015 To be honest I'm heading more towards Frant as I want to have a go at the mahoosive perch they have,but I'll let you know. newmarket 1 Quote

muftyboy Posted September 23, 2015 Report Posted September 23, 2015 All booked on for 22nd Mallard? Quote
phildalton1982 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Posted September 23, 2015 Yep! Looking forward to it Quote
muftyboy Posted September 23, 2015 Report Posted September 23, 2015 One bit of advice then mate, leave the spod or spomb at home. Quote
phildalton1982 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Posted September 23, 2015 Good job I don't do either, what else? I'm all ears Quote
muftyboy Posted September 23, 2015 Report Posted September 23, 2015 When I fished it last I was there for 3 days, the 1st 24 hours I fished all 3 rods with solid bags and pop ups, didn't have a bleep. I changed one rod to a chod and had a 28lber within an hour. Had another 2 fish on chods before I left. I didn't put any free offerings out with the chods. The guy next to me put quite a bit of bait out and never had a bite. I had all 3 fish on krill pop ups. Apparently cell does really well in there. Quote
phildalton1982 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Posted September 23, 2015 Ah,interesting, I was gonna have one on a solid bag, one on me pop up rig and one on a snowman balanced rig. What features are there? The guy I spoke to said it's a weedy lake and to find holes/patches Quote
newmarket Posted September 23, 2015 Report Posted September 23, 2015 Ah,interesting, I was gonna have one on a solid bag, one on me pop up rig and one on a snowman balanced rig. What features are there? The guy I spoke to said it's a weedy lake and to find holes/patches Hands up all those who would fish IN the weed purely because Phils been told to find the clear spots ? Quote
muftyboy Posted September 23, 2015 Report Posted September 23, 2015 It's was extremely weedy when I went , took me about 3 hours to find spots clear enough to feel comfortable to fish in. Apparently the pipe swim is the one with the larger clear spots, there's an island to one end of the lake too. Quote
muftyboy Posted September 23, 2015 Report Posted September 23, 2015 Ah,interesting, I was gonna have one on a solid bag, one on me pop up rig and one on a snowman balanced rig. What features are there? The guy I spoke to said it's a weedy lake and to find holes/patches To be honest mate that was the 1st time I'd ever fished a really weedy lake and the 1st time I'd ever used solid bags or chods so I might of fluked it with the chod's Quote
phildalton1982 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Posted September 23, 2015 I've never used chods, a bit blatant for me BUT I do have the bits to make em if needed Quote
phildalton1982 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Posted September 23, 2015 Don't forget though,end of October starts to cool down,weed will already be dying off Quote
muftyboy Posted September 23, 2015 Report Posted September 23, 2015 Don't forget though,end of October starts to cool down,weed will already be dying off You are making me want to go there now lol Quote
