Bailiff Comments

Week Commencing: Sat 29/03/2014

Due to the massive stockings and building works that this lake has been subjected to during this winter and early spring, the lake was only open to friends and us lucky bailiffs for the odd night.  In total we’ve added 226 fish including 185 x 30lb+ and 14 x 40lb+ fish.

The lake is now OPEN and full to the brim of stunning ‘English-looking’ carp.

The fishing, it's fair to say, has got better and better.  With new fish gracing the banks all around the pond.  The vast majority have been mid thirties, with a few of the forties also slipping up.  Simple tactics have been scoring well, with snowman rigs over pellet and chops accounting for most of my bites.  Don't be scared to move onto showing fish, they’re not afraid to give their presence away.  I like the margins at the bottom of the shelf as well, simples.

For anyone looking to fish either lakes this year please contact Jon Mann on the details below. The final mention must be a massive thank you to Raison, Dave Mac Mastic and Fabian for our refit. If Carlsberg did kitchens it would be ours #bestkicheninfrenchfishing

Until next month, be lucky.
