Curz Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Hi all 👋 I’m always on here reading & gaining knowledge so I think it was time to make an account. Even though I’ve been carp fishing for about 3/4 years Theres so much more to know & learn. I’m From Nottingham and mainly fish hacketts lake with good success Pb being 15lb & always get into the fish on most sessions there. Dose anybody know this lake and maybe know what the Biggest fish in there is? The bailiff told me there’s a 30lb mirror but who knows right 🤔 Dose anybody know of anybody having a 20/30 out of there?? Really want to get to the 20lb club myself 😂 Also I’ve been thinking of giving colwick park a couple of nights.. again dose anybody know of the stock in there? Think il be well out my comfort zone tbh but need new surroundings and new targets. thanks in advance for reading. Tight lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmoputney Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Welcome I just had a look at the lakes website, sounds like it's very heavily stocked so this may stop them reaching a big weight, I think the only way is to keep working through the smaller ones and hope the bigger ones decide to make an appearance tbh, What size baits are you using? I would fish a pop up too, smaller fish seem less keen to take them I think Curz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmoputney Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 As for the new lake you learn most from better anglers so don't be scared to try even if you are out of your depth 👍 Curz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried pop ups on there will deffo give them a try. Again thanks so much. Took a walk round colwick this morning to try see some showing but no joy. Going to keep taking trips and talking to the Angler’s on there 🤞🤞 elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salokcinnodrog Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 Welcome to Carp.com. From what you've said I reckon you have been catching pretty well. If the bigger fish are in there it is likely you would have caught or heard of them. Bailiff weights can be notoriously over; you don't know if it was a big fish that was properly weighed or a guestimate. If you are happy keep on fishing it.
