ward2k70 Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Posted May 7, 2011 It,s been a long time since i fished it but luncheon meat cubed and flavoured with curry powder freelined in the margin caught me alot of fish. Also i found red baits to be effective. Quote

ward2k70 Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Posted May 7, 2011 no probs hope it helps not an easy water as i am sure you will find out. Do let me know how you get on I only live 5 mins away and like to keep my eye on the place. Quote
ndh1982 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 just to let you all know the car park lake seems to have hundreds of small carp in it and to get to the bigger fish seems to be impossible its not what it was 2 years ago when i fished it a lot and i woukd check the lake before you fish there are loads of match anglers fishing there at the moment its a waist of time dave wont be having my money this year.

mwesty Posted May 21, 2011 Report Posted May 21, 2011 Im going Blackfords on Tuesday as l been told the lads running it this year are really making an effort. 1 pool was re-stocked in January and the other one has been done in March so apparently fishing really well. Will keep you informed if anyone is interested Quote

Patienceiskey Posted March 13, 2023 Report Posted March 13, 2023 Hi all, me and my brother fished there last year, and I was getting big fish on the line in peg no 1, the one closest to the car park. Was float fishing with a banded pellet about 1 meter out, and about 12 inches from the reeds. Took a long time to get a bite about 45 minutes per fish, but after studying the pool it seems all the big fish are in peg 1. Hope it helps. Quote
