slimysime Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 its a lovely water carl, i fished it this year 5 times on elsons with only one eel but i shall be back soon, i love the place mate its got a real feelgood factor about it, and the local deleverie drops your take away off at the gates result, pay it a visit carl its a well run water with no numptys allowed Quote
beanz Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 this lake looks just what im after m8 ta.. are you a member of the syndicate and would you say its a gd water in the winter im not a member,dont need to be when the better lake is day ticket. iv only fished it once so dont know much about how well it fishes. slim, hopefully carl will take the entrance at the roundabout to stanwick lakes and not at the layby like i did when i first visited. so your eel should be free from extra pressure Quote
slimysime Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 slim, hopefully carl will take the entrance at the roundabout to stanwick lakes and not at the layby like i did when i first visited. :roll : so your eel should be free from extra pressure i can only hope so beanz im going back after that eel this time it wants to be 3lb Quote
beanz Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 talking of eels ,a mate caught a 4lb eel at kingfisher a few weeks back. thats a day ticket carl and just about in northamtonshire a bit pricey but the fish make up for that. Quote
slimysime Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 would that fisherie be bluebell by any chance beanz Quote
beanz Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 yer i forgot to name it http://www.bluebell-lakes.co.uk/ Quote
slimysime Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 have you ever fished bluebell lake itself pal Quote
beanz Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 only twice, a few years ago, blanked its always been rammed so iv gone on kingfisher , only fished that 4 times,and blanked one sess on sand martin and blanked its only when they opened mallard i caught a fish Quote
kevtaylor Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Kingfisher and Swan Lakes on Bluebell complex have been much quieter since the big two fish died. I fished Kingy in Sept and there were only about 5 anglers on it - same on Swan! Plenty of cracking big fish - if you want to pay the price and take your chance Stanwick has already been mentioned - but what about Barnwell Country park - think thats day ticket (day only)? Reckon you may aswell get one of the many club tickets - loads of lakes and river stretches with big fish for next to nothing per season. Some of the syndicates are cheap too and a few free lakes around if you ask about - jammy so and sos! Quote
carlsg Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 who can quess were im fishing sat for 24hrs Quote
coops_northants Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 Stanwick is ace, i fished there for a few years.... Totally gripped by Elsons and the magic. Not as magic as it used to be but still a place i am found of. Some cracking fish in there and if you fish it regular you begin to get the know them Quote
carlsg Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 thanks coops i hope to give a review myself when i get back sunday and with some pics of fish on the bank with any luck Quote
bookiebasher Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 hi email me @ cliffthebet@hotmail.com and i will give you a lake to fish Quote
carlsg Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 just got back from 24hrs at stanwick on elsons no fish came out at all had a few bleeps on buzzers but no takes there is a hell of alot of weed had the marker out for ages trying to find some clear patches even fished the margins last night nothing there either i shall be going back but on mallards as a few came on there who was that to bookiebasher Quote
slimysime Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 stick with it carl what did you think of the water overall Quote
carlsg Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 i couldnt fault the water one bit mate and john is a sound bloke elsons was the quietist lake apart from romans the others were fairly busy and active im going to go back at some point maybe not this year but most definitely next Quote
coops_northants Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 Carl the weed stays all winter long on elsons and its alive with grub. The trick is not to spend too much time marking and thrashing the water. If you keep that to a minimum and watch for signs of carp instead. Rig wise just use something you are happy is going to fish ok even in the weed. I know for a good period that sticks worked and kept the hook clear. Use some foam in it to float the hook over the weed and it will drop slowly on top. Good luck for next year. Quote
coops_northants Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 Sime have you been recently?? Quote
