insideoutland Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 just done the day there 2day ,, had a few to 12lb ..it was very cold to day... things slowed up a bit but fish still showing.. Â pegs 22 -27 seem to bag the bigger fish,, fish as tight to the island margin as you can and i mean tight """"inches good fishmeals or big pellet 22mm. keep a little bait fired over every 1/2hr also try the near margin keep rig simple as you like,, but would use flying bkleads.

thorpey_18 Posted January 9, 2010 Report Posted January 9, 2010 hi is this hollyhurst you mean? http://www.fisheries.co.uk/hollyhurst/index.htm can you night fish there?how much is it? i have done a few overnighters at weston lawns and agree there arent many 20's in it. if you are going to go there fish the margins on pool 2 and on pool 1 fish tight to the island in the gap if you can get one of those pegs! bait luncheon meat or pineapple boilies. dont overfeed tho feed a pva bag of pellets and then chuck out 6 or 7 of your hookbait around your hook and you shud be ok.

welder Posted January 9, 2010 Report Posted January 9, 2010 I'd have a dabble at Weston Lawns but I just will not fish anywhere that's got high voltage power lines suspended ovehead.

plowmanccfc Posted January 9, 2010 Report Posted January 9, 2010 if your after a 20 go to hopsford hall, westerns ok but not lots of big fish like they say ther are. if you go western flying bk leads are a tip and the best tip you will get also small 10mm boileys Quote
elmovillan Posted January 9, 2010 Report Posted January 9, 2010 Is Weston Lawns still floodlit? Quote
plowmanccfc Posted January 10, 2010 Report Posted January 10, 2010 yh now they have most the lake done Quote
elmovillan Posted January 10, 2010 Report Posted January 10, 2010 Did the night there once and it seemed totally surreal! Quote
plowmanccfc Posted January 10, 2010 Report Posted January 10, 2010 theve now got some sort of ostrages running round the place Quote
elmovillan Posted January 10, 2010 Report Posted January 10, 2010 Â To be honest nothing would surprise me! Quote
speersy Posted January 10, 2010 Report Posted January 10, 2010 wouldn't bother with the place to be honest, is ok as a backup water if your first choices are full but over the last few years it seems they have had fish stolen yet the owner nick will tell you theres 40's in there! and he would rather build a cabin rather than sort his stock out!

Â Â Yeah, know what you're saying. I doubt whether I'd use it as backup tbh, as theres loads of waters about that are a lot better. Its about time the emphasis was put back on the fishing. Quote
thorpey_18 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Posted January 10, 2010 i agree also there is no way a 40 or even 30 in them lakes! biggest i know of to come out is 21! the baliff told me he had a 30 out but i doubt it!! as you all say there are loads of other lakes around that area to go to, what places are there? im after a lake with more 20's in and a place over that way as its near where i work so ideal to go from work on a friday and do a weekend session!

speersy Posted January 10, 2010 Report Posted January 10, 2010 in the close vacinity you have minerals lots of big fish bit of a muddy puddle though or you have haopsford which again has alot of 20+ fish with 2 known 30's in there aswel Quote
plowmanccfc Posted January 10, 2010 Report Posted January 10, 2010 yeah totally agree. with that last comment i no they both have 2 30s in at least bacause ive seen them out Quote
thorpey_18 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 ok cheers guys. can you night fish both mineral lakes and hopsford hall? is there a website for these? Quote
plowmanccfc Posted January 11, 2010 Report Posted January 11, 2010 you can yeah, thers a website for hopsford hall go on fisheries.co.uk no website for mineral lake though Quote
shirl Posted March 22, 2010 Report Posted March 22, 2010 i was thinking of getting a season ticket..is it worth it? does anyone know of ticket pools close coventry wolvey area? Quote
plowmanccfc Posted March 22, 2010 Report Posted March 22, 2010 hopsford hall i thinks the best! Quote
insideoutland Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 did a night at hollyhurst friday..had 8 fish too 18lb.. nice little water for an overnighter and a good chance of a 20!!!! Quote
shirl Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 i fished hollyhurst loads last year but it seemed to die off i dry netted too many times altho i did have the 33 pounder twice havent seen much action there lately. Quote
plowmanccfc Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 i might give hollyhurst ago soon i heard you must be a reguler to night fish is that correct??? Quote
