petfjo92 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 Hi there i would like to recommend a fishery in bonningdale near shifnal west midlands. The fishery has 2 pool and is situated on a farm on the shifnal road. The carp pool (top pool) costs 10 pounds to fish. There are plenty of carp and there have been some great catches this month up to 40lbs!, if you want any details please write to me on this thread, tight lines! Petfjo Quote
stu_wigan Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 hi petfjo92 sounds like it could be worth a go! you got any details of what i get for my 10 squid? what are the pools like in terms of their topography? cheers stu Quote
petfjo92 Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Posted April 9, 2009 Hi stu ye its a good lake its farly exposed so i recommend bivvys the lake is quite small and the average is 18lbs i recommend to not use small hook baits because the pool is not due to be netted for a while and there are small fry, although the carp are always feeding and give great sport, also turn up early because there are not many swims and it can sometimes get quite busy! anything else? jon Quote
stu_wigan Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 sounds good jon - dont mind travelling an hour or so to try somewhere different once in a while (my syndicate water is proving rather hard work at the moment...) could you pm me the address / contact details if you have them? im assuming its on a day ticket? cheers for the info Stu Quote
paulmlpss Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 It might be the same pools my dad used to take me as a kid. Did it used to be full of crucians and small carp? Quote
petfjo92 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Posted April 10, 2009 Stu its on the shifnal road next to the horns of bonningdale pub, its on a farm and you have to drive in throught the farm, it near the monument carp fishery, its the top pool unfortunatly the baliff wont give out any contact details so your best off just looking for the horns of bonningdale pub bonningdale on the aa route finder, it is only a day because there is a house right next to it so you cant night fish anything else? jon Quote
petfjo92 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Posted April 10, 2009 I dunno mate it has been there quite a while the bottom pool does have alot of crucian carp and small carp, there are some carp to 30 in the bottom pool and the bailiff is obsessed with bream so its impossible to catch carp good sport tho jon Quote
salokcinnodrog Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 I dunno mate it has been there quite a while the bottom pool does have alot of crucian carp and small carp, there are some carp to 30 in the bottom pool and the bailiff is obsessed with bream so its impossible to catch carp good sport tho jon Why the after mentioning Bream? Carp are not the only things worth fishing for. I had this discussion with Mindgame the other night. I would far rather my Children forgot about Carp fishing and LEARNT on other species, which it looks like this fishery has done. Good work by the bailiff on the the Bottom pool for that reason alone Quote

Amazing that every day ticket water around here has tales of 30lb fish but you never see a pic of one. Quote
jemsue5 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 Lovely 46lbs fully scaled mirror too Where when etc can i see the pics Quote

petfjo92 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Posted April 10, 2009 Yep its called parkside resovoir or carp lake trust me its true Quote

ward2k70 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 which pool is that one in the picture can only see one Quote
stoogi Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 It's an old image from Flash Earth. There's 2 pools now, the hole in the ground you can see is now the top pool. Quote
ward2k70 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 oh right fished there years ago when first started fishin used to catch some nice roach and bream out of that pool. But as far as i can remember the carp only went to mid doubles but that was some time ago so are there fish in there to that size now Quote
stoogi Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 I can't comment on what's in there. I wouldn't fish there if it were free. Quote
stoogi Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 It's a puddle Or to be more accurate, it's 2 puddles Quote

petfjo92 Posted April 11, 2009 Author Report Posted April 11, 2009 Guys if u are gonna take the mic of the pool then i suggest that you should do it privatley i know the baliff and i can assure you that the fishery is well run, please refrain yourselfs from taking the mic, why dont you fish it and then you can criticise it if you want!
