Yeno tha Posted August 5, 2021 Report Posted August 5, 2021 U managed to find out anything about the place mate? Quote
... Posted August 5, 2021 Author Report Posted August 5, 2021 No pal, just off a few mates, it's like another park lake I fish, open to the public, every Tom **** n Harry's turning up, its a deep place, some big fish in, Eg Tench, Pike Carp, but not many of them to be honest... Im giving park lakes a swerve at moment... Quote
Yeno tha Posted August 5, 2021 Report Posted August 5, 2021 What the script with tickets like or is free n do yeno how big the carp actually go in there cant seem to find (I know this naughty word is banned but I decided to use it any way because I can't control myself) all about the place Quote
... Posted August 5, 2021 Author Report Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) As far as I know, it's free, it's all abit like 3 Sisters Park lake to be honest... 3 Sisters - Pros - FREE fishing, Anglers look out for each other, nice well looked after fish, looked after park, car park on site. Cons - Park gates open 24hrs, boy racers on car park, herds of 14-17 Yr olds n boom boxes, dog owners letting dogs jump in anywhere, supposed only fish far side people fish where ever they want, not supposed fish more than over half of lake, people making multiple fires. Also the place is no deeper than 4ft at most, still loads stunning fish in the lake, all boshing and cruising, only ever had 4 fish out there, last was my PB September 2020, can be a really tricky lake, I've done about 10 sessions on there and blanked 8 I think.

... Posted September 29, 2023 Author Report Posted September 29, 2023 Just found out of a 40lber in the Park Lake near me... A lad I know is on now as I type... So....Thinking of having a dabble after New Year, or should I have a go before winter ? Got about 20kg Aller Aqua Pellet left, 10kg Frozen Particle too.... B B and crusian 2 Quote

I've got 2 Byometric Maps and 2 Deeper Mappings what a lad has done, but I'm not allowed to show anyone 🙄. But I'm getting more and more fixated/fixated by this place. commonly 1 Quote

... Posted September 29, 2023 Author Report Posted September 29, 2023 Only that it's mega weedy during Summer months, lily pad roots....Double Corn bait tends to be written alot for the flashes, so don't see why not for here...plenty write ups for the Tench 8lb biggest I've found, Pike upto 30lb ??? The odd Carp apparently....but I'll take double figure Tench n Bream....I'm really thinking of going in 2 weeks for just a trial night???.....Pellet n Corn Just been told....... Good 30 carp in.....know of a 28 27 a good few 20s loads of rest up and comers, big tench big black things some of them, yes big pike not really weedy more silty with pads.....

I don't have your experience of fishing a big water , Commonly , so I'm curious as to why you suggest a Winter campaign rather than now in the Autumn - I thought Winter was the hardest month ? . Is it because the smaller fish are less active as it gets colder ? . 😃 Quote

Gonna try n do some more findings about the place. Quote

I don't get the time to get any spots going. I just listen to what and where other anglers have done and apply it to how I like to fish.

commonly Posted September 29, 2023 Report Posted September 29, 2023 Definitely mate. This lake seems to hold a few gems. Do what you think and adapt to what you learn. Good luck elmoputney and ... 2 Quote

The lake runs from 6ft (from the narrow bottom of picture) to around 16ft (to middle of the wider top of picture)... How some of the Fishing Areas look... The last picture is taken from the Left Red Dot, Middle area, on the above Map. At the moment, Bait wise I'm at, 20kg Aller Aqua Pellets, around 60kg Bio Marine, 5kg Sticky Krill, 5kg DNA Slk....

framey Posted December 24, 2023 Report Posted December 24, 2023 Wait until after the freeze up.. why bother getting something going and then have to stop if there is a freeze waste of time money and bait. ... 1 Quote

Was thinking same, would March time be a good time? I'm gonna go in with Particle to get some spots going/cleared, then introduce the pellets, then the Sticky Krill + Bio Marnie....hopefully give a good month about twice a week....but need to get down and also find some areas with the Marker Rod....

framey Posted December 24, 2023 Report Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) imo Sorting the areas is different winter usually means less anglers on the bank to disturb so you can find areas to target no one to spot what you are doing and finding etc find where the sun hits first,Midday etc. and then use those as the possible likely areas after the freeze when it happens and if it doesn’t ?? you have done the hard part at the crappiest fishing time (for humans) anyway so you can then concentrate on the catching 👍👍 Edited December 24, 2023 by framey ... 1 Quote
