grahamb1973 Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Hiya. I am planning a trip to St Johns lake at Linear fisheries once the water levels are back to normal. Anyone got any tips that might help me catch? Serious replies please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

666carpcatcher Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I know this is a little of topic If a fishery loeses fish into a nearby river, if they get caught in the river can they move them back into the lake or will they have to get the EA's approvel or will they have to stay in the river?

Â if fish move through an act of nature i think they have to stay where they end up, i beleive benson ended up in bluebell through flooding, might be wrong though!!!

blalucas Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 if you are intrested in the bait terms i fished ther for a 3 day session and blanked my mate cought several fish over a spodded area of hemp, boilies and corn or maize and differeif you are gonna fish with that.  or another mix that workds there is pellet hemp and boilies and or sweetcorn/maize  CRUSHED UP BOILIES AS WELL!  mainline frozen baits- fuzion, pulse both catch (not that i know)  but pop up corn on a wivy paul rig if possible.  change baits to other favourites thry some 10mm   if you can get on the caraven park bank and fish over into the cove that is where the fish go at night. or nearer the road because that is the deaper end of the lake.  the other end, or end on the other side of the poiint is only about 5ft deep with a few banks and ledges there (very weedy)  the other end (deeper end) has almost no weed.  do not spod to much at beginin then build up altot if you are ther for a 5 day session    i am goin up there for a 5-6 eday session with my mate and we are gonaa bring an army of bait.  ILL WAIT A MONT OR SO FIRST HOPEFULLY THERE ARE A FEW FISH IN THE LAKE NOT THE RIVER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigmarky Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 pbr is correct Benson was already in blue bell kingfisher lake before the flooding along with his mate hedges who was lost from the lake due to the flooding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elite1 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Now benson was supposedly from the river with his mate hedges and when flooded were supposedly to have come from the river but with all the speculation only a couple of people no the real truth the person who brought him over the channel and the person who stocked him.
