Details of your catches:

Fishing very slow,possibly a combination of the heat and being on a pretty featureless area of lake. Carp to 41lb, and a 36lb cat.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Tried several tactics, nothing stood out as best. Echo sounding with boat revealed a pretty flat bottom, apart from deeper hole right in front of me. Lots of false line bites from hyper active cats!

Were the facilities what you expected?

Better. Shower still leaks onto floor,but hardly a problem. Fridges and freezer a bonus, and lashings of hot water.

Were you happy with them?

More than happy.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Very doubtful. Its pretty obvious that the spit is prime,and holds the majority of the fish. Away from that its a bit of a featureless wilderness.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes. Smooth process and plenty of info.

General Comments:

The draw for swims seems to have been abandoned by the owner! Arrived at 11.15, to find everyone else on lake and set up! The cats are a menace,constantly charging around and thru lines..very trying at times. This was a last min break for me,and the weather was great; but its not a water for serious carp fishing IMHO. **Note from Angling Lines** Our apologies for the swim draw issues, we are contacting the owner regarding this.

Details of your catches:

We had 35 fish between us inc a pb mirror for steve at 31-10 a pb grassy for me at 34-04 and a pb cat and lake record for me with the reuben heatons thumping down to the stop at 67-12.Other mirrors to 40-09 and further cats to 48-10

General Comments:

A great weeks fishing with a nice bonus of a bottle of champagne from the owner for the capture of the big cat. Larger scales are definitely the order of the day at this venue now. standard 60lb reuben heatons are obviously no longer adequate.

Details of your catches:

15 fish in total, of which 7 Mirrors 30lb +, 5 Mirrors 20lb +, 1 Common, 1 Grass Carp and finally a Cat Fish of 21lb+

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Most things worked at the beginning of the week, but as the temperature increased midweek, we struggled for bites. The last 3 days were hard work for little reward.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, have been there before.

Were you happy with them?

Yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, maybe a few weeks later in the year.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Most definately. Very happy with the service and communications from Angling Lines.
