Wrong pit Numb nuts Newark not B'ham

[glenw]

hi, havent fished it since last oct there aint that many fish coming out from what i hear. if i was you i wouldnt fisf pit 5 for a while as when we had the floods not long back and the trent spilled into there i would go for pits 3 or 6 depending on what ur after.just my thoughts on it. im off down there bank holls can't wait good luck mate if you need to know anything pm me

Thought i would bring this thread back up instead of Writing up another one.

Has anybody fished this place recently?, Im looking for a new challenge but have no information on the size of the pits or fish stock. i've checked their website however my membership activation email has not come through yet so i cannot access all of it.

 

GlenW if you went how did you get on?

alright mate,

fished the pits quite alot,

depending what your after pits 2 and 3 offer the best chance of a run (my mate had a mid double common off the top on sunday on pit 2 while it was snowing!!)

pit 4 is bream, bream and more bream to doubles with a few elusive carp, then there is pit 5 and 6 with the biggest carp in the complex, 6 is easier than 5 but the biggest carp are in 5.

if you look on the a1pits website under the download section there are pics of 6 when it was drained giving you an idea of the bottom, features etc etc

good luck for the trip

Thanks for the info woods_1985, to be honest mate i'm the sort of guy that doesn't mind putting the time in to catch a decent (size or looking) fish so i think i will end up fishing pits 5 and 6, wouldn't mind getting that two-tone gracing my net. You wouldn't by any chance know how big pits 5 and 6 are would you?

[woods_1985]

in a word mahoosive!

dont quote me on this but i think pit 5 is about 16 acres and pit 6 is a bit bigger at about 20 acres,

all the pegs are great, good margins. its just a nice place to fish

[damcarpcatcher]

pit 6 is about 40 acres mate not 20. been up there for a mooch around looks impresive, gonna fish it from this thursday till sunday. woohoo cant wait. temp looks like its a rising to next week so may av a bit of luck and nab a couple of big un's. i will let you know how i get on.

[damcarpcatcher]

did 3 days the weather was poor but still managed 2 fish from 6, a 21lb common and a 26lb common. went back last week and fished 5 but drew a blank. apart from a manky 10lb bream!!! going back again this weekend to empty it of Cyprinus carpio.

dug this up from the past

i fancy doing some time on the pits this coming year (2010)

 

i have heard the pits suffer from trouble at times, like tackle theft, dont know if this is true though

 

is it still same price for 24 hours

[slimysime]

i also heard the same jules, go with a mate or two just in case, and take a little something of a suprise just in case, i heard pineapple boilies work well there

Dont think its true mate, heard a few talking on another forum and they were local lads, rumours of pikeys n wot not. I would say no more risk than the next place really. not sure on pricee though im afraid.

Might see you down there in 2010.

[glenw]

not true at all pal i fish it all the time and always leave my tackle to go wandering,stalking bogs ect.

still 10 sheets for 24hrs.

[jules007]

well the price is right, might have a dabble in the spring, what sort of size do the carp run to in the medium size pits (pit4?)

[glenw]

they go to low 30s in 4 pal
