« Thread Started on Jan 24, 2010, 5:25pm » | |
me an satman[my partner]had a walk around roundhay park lake to day.tryed fish finder out[Xmas box]it really does work.got talking to some guys they were very impressed. they had a bait boat they attached the fish finder to the boat and sent it all over the lake. we was amazed at the results. we are going to give it a go at fishing one weekend. never seen as many angles at the lake it must be coming popular. has anyone any information on this venue eg fish size etc.
PS.me and satman think this site [Yorkshire fishing] is very informative and members very helpful

Apparently I can catch Bream in an empty bucket, all I need do is fish for anything else.

Yes Leeds gave up the rights a while back so now its open to everybody. Its probably fished by more folk now than before.

Weekdays before weather gets too warm or early mornings, not really any pegs out of way, can be a nightmare with walkers, dogs, idiots etc. Saw some low doubles carp, plenty of roach, perch, bream, pike last summer.

Immigrants were caught dragging a net with two dinghies a couple of years ago. Watched another chap knocking 4-5oz roach for the pot. Might of been a bit of a crackdown now.
Seems to happen everywhere now on some scale, wish I could carry a 12 bore and blast them away everytime I saw people nicking fish but that would be politically incorrect!

iv heard stories of it been 70 foot off dam wall end of lake and the further you go out it gets deeper than that whether its true or not im not sure but there was a bloke on this site last year that said he had had pike off dam wall end of lake his biggest if my memory serves me correct was something like 22lb maybe more maybe a bit less got a memory like a sieve lol
have seen some nice bream come out last year say a bloke pull a 9lb 7oz one out and 2 more over 5lb and aload about 2-3lb you just have to get there early before all walkers and stuff get there

this place is good for night & early morning fishing its got plenty of bream in there all range from 3lb and upwards but gets a bit boring sometimes coz you keep catching the same size fish all the time bream bream and more bream but some nice roach too in there ranging from 1lb to 3lb..and if your very lucky you might catch one of the warrior carp in there...i caught this a couple of years ago

theres some huge carp in there and the shoal of bream me and my old man (bikethrasherzig)
say last summer was massive must have been 2 metres wide and at least 30 long was just like a oil slick up near dam wall end
when i was a bit younger when water level was right down there was a bloke fishing shallow end must have only been 2-3 foot at the deepest then and i waded in with no shoes n socks on to land a carp that a guy had hooked it was massive guessing the weight it must have been somewhere near 20lb easy it was a very nice fish
roundhay is full of nice fish its just getting them theres some big perch, roach, pike and carp in there also bream have heard stories of tench but never seen one to have concrete proof but have witnessed 7-8lb bream coming out and 2lb perch and roach to 2lb also some very big hybrids
good luck to anyone who tries for anything big here and succeeds is a very hard going place but like someones said before get there early the walkers and joggers start to get there about 6-630 so be very early if ya wanna miss em in summer months

Roundhay has some real top class fishing.
Today's carp commercials have taken over from places like roundhay park.
The roach in there run big as do the bream.As for the carp a friend had one around 12pounds on floating bread.Its a real big water full of some real gems.Maybe one day it will be fished enough for people to realise its potential

You were on the boat jetty right? Was the lad with 3 rods out fishing for pike? Had he caught any?
