vernwilliams Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Hi all, I've been fishing for carp about a year now and am thinking of going to Sandhurst lake run by Cemex, Does anyone have any advise they could give me? Thanks Vern Quote
binfield Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Hi mate. what lake will you be fishing. day ticket or season ticket. there is a few lakes run by cemex in yateley.also you must consider what tackle to use as a few lakes hold very big cat fish over the 60lb mark. Quote
cal35 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 https://forum.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=26148&highlight=sandhurst; have a look at that ! my main bit of advice would be watch the weather! if there is a strong wind then follow it, if it is really cold make sure you have small baits and go for a scratching tactic. also i have found that it is best to only spod a little bit and if it is not fishing well, putting some spod out will also start the lake again sometimes! hoep this helps!

vernwilliams Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Posted March 13, 2009 HI there, I'm fishing on the Sandhurst lake, Was told that maggots are the best bet? Quote
nash_gadgeteer Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Have a look on there own CEMEX Forum lots of advice on there too... Quote
binfield Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 maggots are very good mate.and as was said in previous reply follow wind dirction. Quote
vernwilliams Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Posted March 13, 2009 HI there, When you mean watch the wind then follow it, Do you mean fish into the wind? Quote
nash_gadgeteer Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Not always, some fish move with the wind and some sit on the back of it, depending if it is a new wind/old wind and direction and temperature, but this is going off topic have a look in the search facilty about wind. Quote
binfield Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 if you just have a walk around lake spend a bit of time spotting the fish then get your bait on them you will have a great time.dont over complicate things keep it simple. and dont neglect the margins. hope you have a cracker mate. yateley complex has some fantastic fishing.

binfield Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 if you speak to ruth or one of the lads in yateley angling centre they can give you updated info on the lake. baits ,swims etc. Quote

johnplumb Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 As from 1st April ( i think ) you need to join Cemex + to fish there so if you are thinking of fishing it after that don't just turn up. Quote
marker Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 cracking lake sandhurst, its not hard fishing either, as has been said, just watch the water and wait for them to show then fish the area. your biggest problem will be getting on the fish because it can be quite busy. first time i went i had a cracking session banking a brace of 30's its a great water for big carp, although i'm not a big fan of the new scheme they are running Quote
