sjfbarrett Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Hi all, Anyone fishing, or going to, Creedy Lakes in Devon? I'm off there in May and was wondering what works well in terms of baits etc. Had a look at their website, but was after the low down from anyone that's been there before? Thanks.

sjfbarrett Posted December 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Fishing was tough, a lot of angling pressure and was very busy at the weekends. Bait boats ruled and you needed one to get right close the the bushes where the carp were. We managed a number of carp up to around 21lbs. All caught on maggots!! Tried beds of particles and boilies but nothing. Surface baits were good on both lakes in the right conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penker Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 You really dont need boats on there! . Iv fished there a few times and had them upto 26.8 off the surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjfbarrett Posted December 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 I'm not saying you have to have them, but when we were there the people that were using them were doing a bit better than us, that's all. Probably says more about our fishing skills than anything else! We went mid April so it was still a bit chilly, but we did catch a few off the top while we were there.

penker Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Bait boats are cheating anyway! In all fairness its a Gawjus place with loveley surrondings.. We travel 3hr to get there and usually stay over for 3 nights and fish every day:) Some nice fish in there just gets fairly busy in the summer months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjfbarrett Posted December 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 I'm with you!! It is absolutely lovely, we stayed too for 4 nights. Was tougher fishing than we expected, but that's the way it goes, and we caught plenty so were well happy. Accommodation and the owners were lovely too. What time of year did you go? Wish we had gone in a warmer month, but hey ho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjfbarrett Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Try a maggot feeder or a bag of pva with maggots in, was the only bait we caught on!! ;0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
