Only joking Shatterford is within range, I guess. It's your side of Kidderminster, on the Bridgenorth road and is a strange place in some respects, a series of lakes dug out of a steep hillside. Masters pool holds good carp and cats ...oh, and sturgeon, ugly, ugly things! It's also strange in that it used to be an animal and wildlife reserve and still holds llamas, scruffy black goats and ferocious geese. There's a small tackle shop and a poolside catering hut which does a very nice bacon and egg sarnie. I did a social on there a couple of years back and enjoyed it. Some didn't. Didn't like the geese, maybe? Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1980 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 i agree with welder but you need to look out for the rats and black sheep/rams/goats and you need to fish zigs cause nothing else seems to work(and i mean zigs 25-35feet in 36feet of water) and there are some big(68lb) cats, silver carp to 30 and commons and mirrors to 41lb. take a look @the web site www.shatterfordlakes.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igwyana Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 He just means the search facility on the forum, may get more info on shatterford and other vneues possibly closer to home aswell Incidently I went to shatterford some years ago now when i was first into carp fishing and generally only surface fished, has some nice fish to about 12 on the day including a nice koi and also lost a couple of bigger fish Iggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welder Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 what do u mean by search facility steve? would u give it a miss? as ive already booked on the masters with 5 pals cheers for any info Ignore the SEARCH warnings. Go with an open mind and enjoy yourselves. The only caveat I'd add is keep all bait off the ground and securely stored during the night.....there are nocturnal creatures on there. Just don't take things too seriously. A tip. If you have the choice of pegs on Masters go for the one beside the small island, on the right when looking downhill. There's a ledge about 6ft down, fairly tight to the island where the better carp were caught when I was there. Enjoy. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
