doing 24hours monday, any tips on peg, bait, etc, cheers and any other info car park to lake etc

[crappercarper]

yes there are plenty of pegs, you will need bait and between the car park and lake is a path

[jamesc1616]

any tips on certain peg and what bait /rig, many features to fish to?

[crappercarper]

fish with bait you are confident in, fiosh with a rig you are confident in and theres an island to fish to but theres so many fish in there it doesnt really matter much

[jamesc1616]

fab thanks for help, is there a big peg for bivvy 2 man u see? thanks

[carpymark]

its a great fishery mate,i always keep things simple,and you can catch anywhere there.i always use pellet on a hair,and if the fish are feeding confidently,try using dog biscuit on the top.you will have a great time there,and expect loads of action!!!...tight lines!!!

[jamesc1616]

thanks very much buddy, havnt fished there yet, and not sure to do a 24, or a 48hour , any idea on amount of card that would be caught etc, ? will be using pellet on the rig etc, and any other info, would be interested to hear oothers views on longbridge

Pike

[carpymark]

well strange one that i have fished there loads of times and fished it for about 15 years now,and never heard of pike in longbridge??

were you snagged?

[jamesc1616]

we were fishing tight to island, but not really tight, and 3 times within a few hours same spot , alarm sounds, strike , fish on for 5secs and the hair rig and nailer had gone each time!, didnt happern to any others that we landed the tench etc fine,

 

woods are a little scary at night *sounds*

 

 

as soon as we got there we had a great run from tight into the weeds, screamed away into a tree the width from us to island (swim) and snagged us a treat!

 

 

in the end it was 2 bream,2tench, and a good few runs,

[carpytimmy]

They've had a right old tidy up at Longbridge and theres a proper path now and most of the swims have got woodchip in. The rules have changed a bit so you can't use trout and halibut pellet but they let you use boilies now. Still the best is a dog biscuit when it's warm.
