00_peewee Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 In order to blow ones trumpet as well as tip a few of you lot off about a relatively quiet water that seems ripe for some winter pickins I thought I'd do a quick summary on Fancott near Luton. A cracking little lake with a very friendly, helpful owner! I made my first visit there this weekend, being relativley new to carp fishing (3rd trip) I decided the smaller waters were probably the place to hone my skills. I set up one carp rod and a match rod to take some of the other silver fish that apparently go to quite good size. It didn't take long to start catching - mainy roach to 7oz. After a couple of hours I got a take on the match rod, resulting in a 10lb 2oz mirror on the bank (3lb mainline!) - pb! A couple of hours later the alarm sprang in to life on the carp rod and an 11lb 6oz mirror fell to hair rigged spicy sweetcorn! New Pb! Good, hard fighting fish, great sport! It's got a good website and I for one will certainly be heading back as the carp run to 24lb + and stock is koi, common, mirror and ghosties! Enjoy!
