Early season success at Margot
The first session of 2011 was a great success for Paul Smith and 2 mates. Between them they banked 65 carp including 10 x 30′s to 38.08, 1 x 40 of 40.08 and 4 x 30lb grass carp.
Over to Paul;
” It was freezing at night with 2 nights down to -3°c. While it was frosty the lake fished really well and once some so called decent conditions arrived it virtually shut down! The sunny days even allowed us to do some stalking which was a bonus. When they were having it everything seemed to catch, tigers, boilies and pellet. Pop ups didn’t work quite as well. Avoid the silty areas.
For an early march trip with some arctic conditions it was fantastic.”
Browsing YouTube we came across this video of this 2009 Margot session when the 71lb common came out. Thanks to ProDave91 for the video… you can read his description of the session below;
Our trip to Margot in April 2009; a small gathering of pictures and videos of the fish. We had the lake exclusively to ourselves for the week and between the 7 of us managed nearly 200 carp, over 30 coming out to myself with only 1 being under 20! 9 x 30′s and the one 47lber. We were all competing for a cup and over 200 quid, which would go to the biggest fish. Typically I was beaten by the lake record… the magnificent 71lb common!
4th of October 2010 saw the annual netting at Margot. They removed a total of 1,500kg of carp fry (estimated to be over 10,000 fish!) plus a further 2,200kg of roach and a number of other smaller carp. All of Margot’s larger fish were returned to the lake. A mammoth operation as usual for this prolific water!
