Details of your catches:

50 plus fish, 53lb, 52lb 3oz, 50lb, 7 x 40s to 45lb 8oz, 15 30s to 37lb 8oz and loads of 20s to 29lb

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

all tactics worked, spodding bait, spredding bait, small batches of bait and single baits. any sweet or fruit boillies tipped with tiger nuts worked best. most fish came from cell, scopex with robin red and chocolate orange boillies.

General Comments:

it was dredfull weather all week with gale force winds and rain at times but this did not affect the fishing at all. my mate phil had the lake record at 53lb within a couple of hours fishing when we first got there and we did not stop chatching after that. get behide the wind and in the deep water and you cant fail. fish were even taking baits on the drop as soon as i opened my bait boat ! i think we would of had a lot more fish but 4 of my mates had to leave on wednesday due to one of them falling ill.

General Comments:

fishing was hard but the fish that came out were in perfect condition and some good weights . most fish came at night , none of us had runs during the 10.am -7.00pm. the spit wasnt fishable due to water levels but this posed no problem. most of the big fish came from deep water but fish were caught in margins and mid water. we arrived a little early to greet the previous anglers who had already packed up and were leaving so not sure about the comments about us walking around while that were packing away . I would defo go back to this venue lake owner is very helpfull . WATCH OUT FOR THE FOX HE LIKES FOOTWEAR LOL AND WILL COME IN YOUR BIVVY!! Any advice heres my email bunse123@hotmail.co.uk

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

fishing over a bed of pellet with boilies

Were the facilities what you expected?

the facilities have improved from last year an extra cabin and the little cooker and sink has been taken out and is not in the same room as the toilet and shower much better.

Were you happy with them?

they are much more suited now if the lake is not been booked inclusive by a group the shower or toilet can be used without someone being unable to cook .

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes ideal journey time and facilities
