General Comments:

Had a fantastic week in swim 7. 33 fish between the two of us, fishing mid water before the gravel bars, not over them, no end tackle lost this way. We did retrieve a lot of line from previous anglers which may have been cut by fishing beyond the gravel bars. If you fish this gravel pit you need a good understanding of the topography. Overall a fantastic fishery.

Details of your catches:

14 fish, 5 grass carp 38 to 44lb. 6 common carp to 41lb, 3 mirror carp to 26lb.

Showman rig over bait

44 between 14lb and 30lb lots of 20's
8 x Grass carp to 39lb

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

A mix of tactics from match the hatch to Pop ups and snowman. Tiger nuts and Brazil nuts worked well. Fed a lot of pellet and particle, the more we fed them the more action we had. We both started with small amounts of bait and increased the amount as bites started to come regularly, we used 50 kilos of pellet and particles between us and 30 kilos of boilies.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes basic but as expected

Were you happy with them?

Yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes if you want lots of action

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes. We have used Angling Lines for a few years now and they have always been professional

General Comments:

A nice venue, which we were lucky enough to have to ourselves for the week, although looking at the positioning of the swims the fishing would be more challenging if most were occupied as you would be fishing on top of eachother. The owners are excellent and only visit every other day, but if you need something they are happy to help.
