nigewoodcock Posted April 6, 2008 Report Posted April 6, 2008 am planning trip to monument fisheries .has anyone got any tips,or advice .thanks should have watched wet nets last night on tele what and watch rob hales best mate fish a pre baited swim. do you think they would of showed the same programme if matt had blanked !!!!!! I have never fished the Monument or any of the other RH waters so can't comment on what they are like. The comment I can make is 'you have a choice'. If you don't want to spend your money there or don't agree with his ideas then don't go. Simple. As for Gap's post. That's not on what they did there mate and if it happened to me then I wouldn't go back either. Quote
casperlea Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 never ad a problem there as for matt hayes fishing there he fishes there a lot becauce is dad works there and his mom cooks the breakfast . he fishes there cause he's the face of the p[lace people think if he fishes there it must be good !!!!!

tall_kev Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 I called the Monument the other day to see if the price i had heard was right. It was £60 for 24 hours fishing! Im not tight with my money but i would think twice about spending it there. 2 weekends fishing is the same as a week in france! Quote

It used to be for 36 hours (day, night, day) I thought these were the only sessions available. Quote

msdt Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 Myself and a friend have just booked a session at the monument for the 12th & 13th of june. Been meaning to go for a while now. It looks a tidy well kept place to fish. Its got to be worth a go even if it is 60 quid for 36 hours. Quote

big_dave Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 Going for my sesh at the monument on thursday, anyone got any experience on swim 9 any advice would be great Quote
gradea Posted October 25, 2008 Report Posted October 25, 2008 I blanked there in September on peg 10, It was on the whole quite a good experience not alot coming out though while I was there, i am involved with a fishery and we would be worried if only 12 fish a week were coming out, no matter how big they were. Maybe people will stop going other big venues are pulling 40's 50's and even 60's out on 36hr tickets now, even in the winter minths due to go again soon, see how we get on then, if I was the owner though I would read threads like this and what others have to say. People can turn quickly an not bother going at all Quote
southend30 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 alot of people having bad views of rob hales success, monument fishery. I paid £500 for week in france just for chance of 50lbr, didnt get one, place looked similiar to monument and was run similiar, no-one minds going france fishing lakes overstocked with massive carp, whats wrong with same thing in uk.? Quote
kevinp Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 ive not got a problem with rob hales i think the monument is over fished,plus when it is closed on a wednesday i dont think there is any reason to put in 50 kilo of bait in the one bait that did catch the carp maggots he banned,idont think it as fished well for 2 years Quote
southend30 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 fair comment, i think it is a bit unfair to totally ban maggots, should be a restriction not ban.. im not a monument regular so cant comment how it used to be. Quote
msdt Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 I went last year. Blanked! The guy who works in the shop was as misserable as sin. Didnt really seem bothered to give advice. Would i go again. Not really. Quote
nickcarpy Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 maggots are not banned,they are in summer but not in winter,yes he his a bit on the dear side but at the end of the day you either fish it or not,yourchoice,but some carnt go to france for a week a time due to work/family so whats wrong with fishing there? Quote
ward2k70 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 i also went last year and too blanked and the baliff was the most miserable #@£# i have ever met not in a hurry to go back there thats for certain Quote
stoogi Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 i also went last year and too blanked and the baliff was the most miserable #@£# i have ever met I assume that was the younger of the two bailifs? Quote
dysfuncti_1 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 Was there recently, The young balif was unhelpful and rude. I can't imagine that Rob would pay that much to produce those features for the balif to sit inside and not even show you around your swim. We got caught in snow nearly didnt make it and arrived a few hours late, having phoned ahead to explain. We though to make the most of our time a nice recce of our swim with the balif would give us a fighting chance, Instead when asked about the features he didnt move from his chair, but grumbled "invariably 30yards". The positive points were how genuinely nice and helpful all the other anglers were, they were more than helpful in detailing our swims and the tactics that they were using on the day, shame they weren't on the payroll! To be honest I drove 8 hours through the night to get there, and would go again. But I really would think twice if that baliff was working. Quote
dave_askew Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 I've heard a few whispers there have been many complaints and said baliff has been spoken to can't say much more than that Quote
dandanuk Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 so other than the miserable bailiff the high chance of blanking it's not a bad place to fish ? do we suggest using the bait they provide ? Quote
dysfuncti_1 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 The guy who caught when we were there did so on plastic corn, but I think Rob is thinking of, or has already banned it. Quote
skybluearmy Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 Going there this weekend. Fake corn is being considered to be banned from the water as they recently pulled loads of snapped up rigs from the bottom only to see they still have a perfect presentation of corn. So they are saying that despite the rigs being break offs,they are still 'fishing'. Good water,this is the 4th time we have been there,my best from there is a 26lb mirror off peg 5. Sat next to a bloke last time who had 7 fish in the weekend,and also lost 3 others. Let you know how we get on. Quote
