Lake shallow and has lost water. Lad who collected the money said it was leaking into Harbour and they were aiming to drain and restock, however this might now be next year. Grand reopening this year with a free days fishing for pleasure anglers.
Fished far side, second put in with single red maggot. Nice 1lb skimmer, third put in a roach and fourth a small carp 1lb. Here we go, bag up on the cards. Then small roach, odd skimmers, lost a carp, small roach, skimmer.
Then decided after an hour or so of roach mania to hit down the track. Another small carp, roach and then another small carp, followed by you guest it more roach. All on maggot.
Tried pellets nothing, but no confidence in them as they were cheap ones from Hucknall tackle shop.
Bloke opposite had a few carp looked to be on pellet or corn and was sitting it out for bites.
Fished 80% of the session down the middle to try and find 3ft depth. Perhaps a mistake and opposite side was a better option.
Ended with between 10-15lb of fish. Ok steady but enjoyable. Good to get the kit out. Need to get some decent hookers for festival. Perhaps a bit of captain and worm/casters. On the positive side glad to catch. Been before to Sherwood, Makins and Lakeview this time of year and caught a lot less.
Still only the 13th March and we need the next two weeks to keep mild for water to warm up.
Will be an interesting match in two weeks. He who gets the carp will win the day!
Plenty to go at. Lakeview so many pegs and nets as well.
Mad for it, practice make perfect.
