Details of your catches:

Had a good week on Old Oaks, well Darren did in peg 1. The fish seamed to be holding up in peg 1 this week with Darren having 11 in the end up to 57lb. Everyone else ended up with 1 each.
Overall a pretty tough week for everyone else but that's carp fishing.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Plastic corn over particle seemed to do most of the fish close to far margin

General Comments:

Just back from another week at Old Oaks, this being our 6th visit which first started in 2015.
The week started well with peg 5 producing 3 good Carp in the first 24 hours, all caught on fake baits and on the drop from the bait boat pretty much, as we we found the chats still very active and a pain with almost every other bait we used. The week slowed down with Gary catching on peg 4 and another on peg 1. The weather deteriorated with heavy rain and strong winds. Mehdi was on hand with advise when asked for and thanks to Angling lines for sorting out all our needs in the build up to the trip.
