Details of your catches:

We had 22 carp in total & 3 cats. Carp - one double, 3 twenties, 15 thirties, 2 forties and a 51lb’er!

On the Wednesday afternoon (between 1pm & 5pm) I had 3 x 37lb+, 2 x 40’s & the 50! Biggest cat was over 50lb & we lost 3 others... who knows how big they were as I couldn't do anything with them! Unbelievable fishing!

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Linda caught a lovely 30lb+ Grassie and a 20lb common on Sunday night but I’d only caught catfish up to Monday morning - the cats were loving the fishmeal boilies! Finally found the fish on Monday afternoon (RH bay behind small peninsula) & swapped to tinned Tigers over pre-prepared parti-blend and started catching carp at last. Wind pushed into far corner (facilities side, under the big willows) & the fish followed it. Fishing then became unbelievable - I stopped fishing Wednesday at 5pm & let Linda have my swim, frankly I was knackered!

The Wednesday afternoon catch (see above) goes down as the best 4 hours carp fishing I've had in my life - & I've been carping for 40 years! Hopefully the video will give you a feel for it!

The fish definitely move away from noise & pressure (I was catching just about as far away from where I was fishing as possible & I promise you I tried closer!) My tip would be to create as little disturbance as possible & unless you want to catch cats avoid the fishmeal boilies.

General Comments:

I was fishing with Linda Latham to shoot the new venue video & we had a great session. I predict this will become a real big carp water in the next few years because I caught so many healthy 35lb+ carp that will definitely grow on. A great venue!

General Comments:

We fished the week after spawning. A very slow start for carp got everyone fishing for cats with more carp coming later in the week. Every fish was caught on the facility side of the lake. The swim next to the facilities and the one opposite were by far the best swims. The fish all seemed to be holding up in the deep water after spawning.
