iambunn Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 There have been a couple of threads, but these were a fair while ago and had bairly any replies. Just wondering if anyone could offer any up to date info on stock, conditions of the carp and of the lake itself. Cheers! Eugenefrop 1 Quote
jake5 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 Its a syndicate i think bunn,mega hard water though with fish to 40+ Eugenefrop 1 Quote
iambunn Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Posted February 24, 2009 Its available through the normal Ampthill AC ticket, but requires the syndicate ticket to enable you to night fish. The pit is over 260 acres, has a stock of around 200 carp, and apparently holds some lovely originals, 70 percent commons, 30 percent mirrors. Its not something I plan to target any time soon, but definately in the future as my first larger carp water that will take a couple of years (at least) to get to know the basics. The advantage about it being fairly close is that I would be able to spend plenty of time there. I'll definately be getting myself down there some time soon to have a wonder about. Quote

Fair play to ya if you fish that place and get some out.when we was driving round it a few weeks back some parts were frozen Quote
iambunn Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Posted February 24, 2009 It was cold a few weeks back Quote
carpfisherlee Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 the good thing about that club is you get to fish for stolen fish !! scum bags Quote
iambunn Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 I'm not a member of the club, just enquiring to see if it is worth joining for the use of that particular lake. With rumours of stocking stolen fish though, I would have second thoughts. With confirmation of stolen fish, I would certainly be put off. Where did you hear this? What evidence is there to suggest that this is the case? Quote
jake5 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 the good thing about that club is you get to fish for stolen fish !! scum bagsA few fish have been stolen from there aswell Quote
carpfisherlee Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 100% fact pictures of carp from its home then it pops up somewere else , scum bag fish thiefs . the club no about it and have not done a thing ., Quote
iambunn Posted March 1, 2009 Author Report Posted March 1, 2009 Could you show me some of these pictures? Quote
carpfisherlee Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 in a word no , i am not going through a load of hassle to get pics get to a scanner take a copy of said pics just to put up on here for you to see . no offence mate but i dont have enough hours in the day to do what i want with out driving all over bedfordshire to get pictures for some fella on the internet . its fact fish have been stolen and put in there waters , if you spread your wings get down the water were the fish were stolen i am sure someone will show you the fact , ask about a fish called six scale ! . get yourself down woburn , from what i can gather from your posts you are newish to carp fishing ? you will learn more fishing and watching down there in a couple of seasons than some do in a lifetime . i gaurantee it will set you in good stead for the rest of your carp fishing career .

iambunn Posted March 1, 2009 Author Report Posted March 1, 2009 Wasn't expecting anything like that from you, fella. Merely a link to any other forum discusions about it, or even a name of the lake where they were supposedly taken from. I saw that reply as being quite hostile, and I don't appreciate it. Quite frankly I don't know why you came back in that way, no need. I do understand your annoyance with the club if things like these have happened and nothing has been done, but how about chilling out when talking to people that are just asking a couple of questions with the best intentions.

carpfisherlee Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 its not meant in a hostile way , just the truth why i am not going to drive to get photo's of my mates to put up ! . look on carpforum think there is a thread on there about it . but back to woburn i meant what i said get down there if you are after a new water you will learn so much its unreal . ive spent hours down there watching them feed , it taught me so much . sorry if you thought that was hostile ,just telling it as it is , save your dollar much better clubs around than ampthill imho .

iambunn Posted March 1, 2009 Author Report Posted March 1, 2009 Fair enough, point taken. Are you talking about woburn sands pit? Been meaning to get down there to have a look. Unfortunately the vauxhall website has little or no info or pictures of it. Looks good on google earth, is it quite mature? Quote
carpfisherlee Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 web site is a pile of poo i will give you that ! i have panoramic's of the whole lake but no scanner other why's i would stick them up for you , yep its a nice mature lake but its a excellent venue all sorts in there to learn and teach you . not massive fish by todays standards but a good stock to mid thirties . it went down hill a few years ago ( ie fish thefts ect ect) but i am told now that there are new baliffs who have sorted it out . for the money its very good value and if it was not so far away from me now i would still fish it because of how much fun i had there and enjoyed myself . if your looking for a challenge it could be the water for you , not sure on whats left but they is some proper old school deep chestnut coloured beasts in there . google is your friend ! not me but you can see what some of the fish are like http://www.bigcarp.net/showphoto.php/photo/452/size/big/cat//date/1226234771 http://www.thefishingzone.org/carp_gallery.html edited again funnily enough six scale is on the first link !! when fish like that get stolen people get upset .

iambunn Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Posted March 2, 2009 They are some cracking fish! I'm happy with a challenge, there wouldn't be a proper baiting campaign as I live a little far away, but would definately be up for some blanks to get at those warriors. How are the members? All sensible carpers that know how to have a laugh? Would be perfect, hopefully not too much litter and not visitied by yobs. I may even make it over there this sunday to have a look. Any decent trees to sit up? Quote
carpfisherlee Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Yep some good trees to sit , i wouldnt worry about baiting campaign's baits in the right place will do the job . litter and fools can be a problem but i am told the new baliffs have been on the case and have sorted . if you are going for a wander take a bit of bait you might be able to tempt them into feeding .

fullhouse Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 Hi iambunn, did you get over to Woburn Sands to have a look? Looking at the place myself as a maybe place for this year ahead, interested in finding out what people think of the place now. Quote
