papabill Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 allo mate, i used to fish there a few seasons ago, fished it quite regularly, there are loads of sturgeon in there and can be caught on a variety of baits including maggots and boilies! not sure if they come out in winter though? there were/are some big carp in there up to 20lb i think? biggest i had was a mirror of 19lb 8 oz, these fall to all sorts of baits, boilies (mailnline fusion, NRG, etc) although i was fishing once and saw a young lad absolutely bagging up on freelined luncheon meat. however... i heard a rumour that all the big carp got taken out, but the sturgeon were left in. im not sure how true this is? and not entirely sure where i heard it? maybe it was just a tale, but i havent fished it now for about 2 years. heres a few i had out.. hope this helps, tight lines bud... bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
