Mainly Silvers this one unless the Carp shoal up in one of the pegs ide and Bream can put a decent weight together not to heavy on the rigs.

It wasn't an ide fest last year round where I was on peg 9 and Martin on peg10. It wasn't an anything fest! I thing I only caught a couple of pounds in spite of Rachel's helper telling me I was on a righr peg, as usual! Martin was almost in tears next to me, packed up and watched me for a couple of hours. Hope its better this time round for me.

I find you need to fish near island but you need to be fishing 16 or 17meters. I always done well fishing shallow maggot tight to island.

Crikey , 16 -17 metres ? That's me bu@@ered then ! Can Barely hold my old pole at 13m! Looks like good old fashioned rod and line for me , or a ruddy miracle in the margins !!! Might just fish for lumps and try and make it a race for biggest fish !!! Low fields was the scene of my zoo creature last summer!! Prawns and mussels here we come !!

This beauty came out yesterday at about 4 M on Paste about 12/13 lbs easily,I was going to do a write up today, we have been given the option of the main lake or the Corner pond,will study the results from yesterdays match on the main Lake given the people who are on Holiday the smaller corner pond may be the best option (i know it ponged a bit last year)but that is the first time in many times I have fished it, depends on wind and the treatment process on the day,  |

Chap on next peg had it not much else to be fair he had only just started fishing,(not a bad start).
Right chaps sorry but there had been a mix up on this match Mick booked the corner pond I was under the impression that he had booked the Main Lake so opened a thread up for it,Rachel noticed the error and kindly offered to let us swap but with us having 1 or 2 missing for this one (holidays etc.)Paul and I thought the Corner Pond was the best option for this one as the fish basically could only go round the corner pond not over to the other side as they could with the main lake.
anyway i will post on how its fishing next week.

No problem Paul,its a matter of balance we try to fit the (more) commie type ponds in the summer months and the mixed/Silvers waters in the early or late months of the year when the Carp are less active(all done last year)which is why Mick arranged them in the order he did with the main lake penciled in as a autumn/winter venue with Mick going AWL (only kidding) he will be back when he gets his moving and work situation back on level ground,and my very busy life i got them the wrong way round,you were unlucky to draw the peg with the big gap at the side of the sewage works I was on the next peg and it was no where near as bad, already spoke to Paul about it and we agreed to leave that one out if it was as bad as last year.It should be pointed out there are a lot of big Ide in the corner pond as well as Bream.

Its all Mick's fault. I agree.lol!
Fished corner pond today (half price monday) in the burning heat. Thought I was in for a great day when I lost a carp on first put in then caught one on second put in, then a carp on the third. That was it for a few hours then till I caught my third and last carp.
Had the usual mix of skimmers, roach and ide plus a nice perch before heading home nicely warmed through.
Old chap a couple of pegs up from me had 9 carp plus some silvers but they never really got their heads down, preferring to sunbath.
Wasn't too stinky till the breeze changed direction but you get used to the smell after a few hours. Surface was very scummy again today
Reckon someone will be sat on some carp on saturday and around 20lbs be needed to win.
I also managed to manufacture two pints of roasted dead maggots ready for saturday's match. Doh!

Right fished here today about 10 fishing on the corner pond today so a good indicator for our match what surprised me was the number fishing a feeder rods i think this was to avoid foul hooking fish as they swam around your swim,i started on the far bank line close up to the Island got dragged into the reeds with the first Carp I hit fished a bit further away from the stick-ups and although the bite rate dropped I was still getting plenty of bites had a couple of stockies 1-3lbs before it went dead chap on next peg was catching at about 8 M I fished down the track for about 1 hour had a few small stockies before going over to the far side where I was foul hooking a lot of fish fishing Pellet and paste probably had about 20 lbs out in 4 hours would suggest there is no need to beef right up as did not see any fish over 4 lbs most were of the 2lb size I will be starting off feeding as little as possible to avoid getting too many fish in my swim and see how it go's from there.

What peg did you fish? I was on 10 the other day, just had bits on the far side. Caught mine about 5 feet from far side where its slightly deeper. |

Second one up on left hand side from car park I based my "Do not put to much bait in"comment on myself getting a lot of liners and foul hooking a couple and comments made by others fishing about having caught a few but lost more (bigger fish)in my opinion foul hooker's I expect the day to start slowly with the fish being careful bout the amount of feed they see in front of them.

Shouldn't you be on a big dipper with the kids instead of fishing? Which Thorpe Park are you at? Cleethorpes or Surrey?

Post by pontylad on Jul 22, 2016 10:42:47 GMT
Cleethorpes yeah ifish from half six till about 9. Apparently best time to fish but idont think so. Should fill it in and put caravans on. Baliff said they stocked it but then let slip they lost majority of fish anddidnt stock it much lol
