bigleadbob Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Posted April 12, 2009 hi i no i am a member mate Quote
fishboy2008 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Posted April 12, 2009 o in that case its a 35acre lake, stock of carp is not great. Fish are also very hard to find but some nice bream and tench are present. Quote
bigleadbob Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Posted April 12, 2009 thanks mate i had a walk round today as long as there are a few to go at i will be having a crack soon just wondered how many i was going at 30-50 etc Quote
fishboy2008 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Posted April 12, 2009 less than that i would imagine well fish worth catching! Ive heard the best fishing can be from the middle of the lake where the depths are at there deepest. Be wary of crays. Quote
bigleadbob Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Posted April 12, 2009 thanks mate the causway looks a good bet to me only 1 way to find out get angling and see Quote
vinyljunkie Posted April 12, 2009 Report Posted April 12, 2009 i spent three years water skiing it and never saw much in the way of carp, not that you would charging around at 30 mph in a boat obviously. what i do know is that their is or definatly was a hell of alot of cray fish in their the guy who used to run the waterski club stuck a cray trap down and was pulling out up2 200 a day !!!!

fishboy2008 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 just had a walk around saw a few fish topping in the deeper water mostly towards the no fishing area. Took my marker float set up and it was reasonably snaggy behind the island and hard to cast from most swims! Quote
jdh91 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 i know a few people who fished they say the middle of lake or as close to the no fishing area as possible, and dont ignore the margins. Quote
bigleadbob Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Posted April 14, 2009 Thanks guys think i will have a little dabble this coming weekend fancy chasing some carp that might eat bait the one i am after just doesnt want to no its never been caught since 1980!!!!!! mabey 1 day? Quote
inspector66 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 Roydon Mill holds some huge carp mate Best i've heard of a 37 common and this comes from a good source! Dont even bother with the deep bit's this time of year it's a waste of time,unless you want a dirty great haul of bream! Fish the margins and the shallow end where the boats used to stop. Zig rigs and pop up's. Some of the tench in there a massive too, so plonk out a nice bed of bait in about six foot of water and pop your bait up a few inches to avoid the cray's. Dont bother with friday nights though because you will be woken up by fifety thousand idiots swimming about on saturday morning! No one told you about that as you handed over your membership money did they!?! I could not believe my eyes when i woke to find a bunch of idiot's bobbing up and down ten foot infront of me! Exactly where thirty quids worth of bait was! Oh and watch you dont leave your rods lying about because some of them like to run through your swim! But on the brighter side there are still plenty of carp in there, lots of which have never seen a hook! Quote
inspector66 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 Forgot to mention. Some of the swim's are very close to the power lines. look up!!!!! Electricity can jump a long way!!!!!! Quote
fishboy2008 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Posted June 30, 2009 I've fished it a few times now. Had lots of tench and bream but seem to find the carp to come in the margins when it gets nice and hot. Was fishing on the rubble near the boat end and had a road into the corner closest to where the cars parked. Had baited it an hour previous to go back and find a few nice carp mulling over the area. That night had a screaming take and lost the fish at the net. Quote
inspector66 Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 Ooooh the worst kind of loss too I've had a bit of a mixed fortune over there lately myself, ten second screamer screamer at 4am and struck into nothing!!!!! Same sort of thing at 5am and then "the invasion of the bream" just as it started to get warm. Time for a bit of fish tracking You can set your watch by some of the fish in there Quote
keith69 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Posted September 4, 2010 I fished this lake when Ware first took it over had lots of good tench and bream, the crays can be a real head banger. As for carp i think there is more then people think i've seen more then 50 fish behind the island sunning themselves. I also watched them spawning and saw a lot of carp going at it. Had them feeding tight to the bank in the past most were mid doubles but i've seen a few near the 30lb mark. In the past i heard it did a 40lber which went walk abouts, i belive the mid 30 common that Ash from Johnson ross had is still in there. And as for the swimmers they never gave me any bother. Quote
Crapusername Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Has anyone fished this now the Marina has opened? I'm staying on a boat there next week and am keen to know anything about the lake. The Stort is known for it's perch. Does this lake hold good perch? Quote
newmarket Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Can't help with the lake matey but welcome to the forum Oh and I agree with you re the Stort . Good fishing . Love the username by the way . Can't believe you got away with it Quote
