bobstains Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 from what I have read my first tip would be choose a different lake. Getting a swim is like winning the lottery aparrantly. If you do a SEARCH for linear or st johns quiet a few threads will be thrown up Happy searching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules007 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 st johns is one of the most pressured day tickets around, i have fished it and vowed never to go back, dont get me wrong its well run but just to many lines in the water all the time so the fish hold up right in the middle most of the time some of the other linear waters are a much better bet https://forum.carp.com/carp-forum/viewtopic.php?t=44759&highlight=johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squidcruncher Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 fished st johns many times in the past and done ok yes it gets busy but their are so many carp in there, they will be on your baits usually within a 24 hour period as the carp are always on the move. fish travel on top of the bars in summer a lot and zigs are deadly in the spring and summer. the lake do's switch off sometimes due to weather conditions but you can always fish one of the other lakes on the complex as they are so close. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
