dangerous26dave Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hi all. I've touched on the above topic as part of my very first thread but, I thought I may get more info doing a dedicated thread. I'm quite new... Maybe a year to specimen fishing and I'm targeting a double bream and tench. I done ak waters last year as a starter but whitefriars has always caught my eye. so... I was hoping to do next season on there as I've seen limited info that it holds double figure bream. Can anyone who has done some time on the water help me? What baits do you avoid on there etc when targeting carp so you don't get breamed out and a los do they hold up in certain areas? My max range fishing comfortable would be 100 yards. if someone could pm me if they don't want to broadcast info that would be awesome and a great help. I basically want to know if the water has a big enough head of bream to target them. Thanks in advance. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous26dave Posted October 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Ttt please. Anyone have any info at all?! I understand the carp secrecy but surely bream info is readily available via pm? Or even trench info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hnv Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 Hello mate. Replied to your intro post... Plenty of large bream in that pit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hnv Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Whitefriars is a big, challenging water. Most people are scared by its size and it doesn't get that much attention. I'm not surprised that the replys are few and far between as most on here will not have fished it. It's a nice water... all the best.

dangerous26dave Posted October 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 Thanks matey. Just lace it with pellet and groundbait etc? Any particular banks to fish? I'm using 1.75 torrix so 100 yards max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hnv Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 If it's bream you want I'd use groundbait with some hemp and small pellet in the feeder. Areas is a tough one as the shoals move around a lot. I didn't fish it that much, just several weekend sessions through the summer. I did catch trench and bream at close range (20-40 yards) from the long "field" bank opposite the gravel workings. I was using pellets and tiny (homemade 8mm) boilies (high krill meal content fishmeal). Fish that bank when the wind is in your face and you'll have 'em... Pile a dozen tangerine sized balls in and stick your feeder in the middle of it. dangerous26dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous26dave Posted October 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 Thanks I'm used to the baiting up as I fish a 434 acre resiviour by me for bream on the feeder but average size is 4-6lb. I'll give it a go in the spring with method feeder and your pellet and groundbait advice . As a rule big bream like to sit out at range but I'll give it a go and see!.Cheers hope there's some goo tench In numbers in there to.
