misterrun Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Isn't there supposed to be a 'blanket' ban on night fishing on all council run waters in the borough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mart1979 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 i believe swan pool as always been hard. Â i remember the days when the pool on the park ( near the crazy golf ) used to be packed over the years ive seen next to nobody fishing it, however ive seen alot of good sized carp on the top not so long back, dont know if you can still fish this pool.

wbajord11 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 any help with baits and rigs tu use ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart1979 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 mostly seen people feeder fishing on swan pool but that was ages ago, cant remember what baits was being used. Â As for the pool on the park ive not seen anyone fishing it for years ( dunno if you still can? ) , like i said before ive seen carp in there last year in the summer lots of times, if you park by the steps when you walk up them youll have the pool infront of you, walk round to the left corner ive seen good heads of carp about 30 mt out from the bank.

chaz1963 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 swan pool myths and legends ...i fish sandwell regulary for carp pike and tench and in winter for the big roach its my local pool.ive had to date 20 carp with my muka moz untill he joind up and went to iraqu and can say the biggest was 24 we called it spike as it had a spike on dorsal fin where it had been torn over 7 years i have never seen a picture of a thirty lol or anything above 25 but always heard of them being caught i live up the road and know the lake inside out i even went over it with an echo sounder with ricky the old life guard,my biggest pike and i have had a few is 26 from the original part of the lake .the way to fish it is to not pile in the bait as it attracts smaller fish then the pike move in ,ive had the pike attack tench ive been hauling in.chick peas and corn and bread have accounted for alot of the carp i have had and i have the photos though a mate ov mine and old reg pete now in aus used snails and alsorts..if you were aloud to fish the old monastry pool up in the woods that does hold two very big carp upper 20 prolly bigger but dont get caught lol.all in all a thinkers venue and not a bagging place .

wbajord11 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 hi all i went up sandwell valley on the weekend i was useing a open end feeder pop up corn on the hook. I only had one run lol. The fishing aint poor there i think if you have patience and you know what youre doing then eventually you with have a few, too many bream showing a man a few pegs from me had a good en looked the 9lb mark to me. i might do a few more nights up there if anyone fancies it ??.  anyway  tight lines...

chaz1963 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 nice one jord there is a bloke fishes on the pegs next to the concrete ,ron he picks up the odd carp on swimfeeder when hes going for the tench ,i have found boilies are hit and miss there as there is a load of natural bait ,if you run your hands under the concrete there are hundreds of mussles and the weed you bring back is teeming with insects , i think winter fishes better there but thats just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbajord11 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 kk, cheers mate i might try useing maggits instead of pellets or good old lobworm  tight lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
