Rain at Last !!

We have just enjoyed a good 48 hrs of rain and thankfully the lake is showing it’s first signs of starting to fill again after the long summer drought. The fishing has been better than of late with 31 fish landed so far including ‘Cut Tail’ being banked by Steve at 52lb 10oz. We have…

Gales, rain and some nice carp.

Last night saw a full scale gale pay us a visit and as I write it is still blowing strongly outside. We have also been having heavy showers of rain interspersed throughout the night and with the forecast for more rain we are hopeful that the carp will start realizing that winter is just around corner and…

Now, that’s better !!

Last night saw the arrival of a rain cloud and along with a few welcome hours of the wet stuff we enjoyed a much better night carp wise. Ashley bagged a brace of 30’s plus another new 50 in the form of a chunky mirror weighing in at 50lb 3oz. Dave also had another 3…

A cracker for Adrian!

The week that promised so much has somewhat fizzled out as the weather changed for warm and balmy to bright and chilly. A cold wind from the North East has been blowing and night time temperatures have dropped to single figures which is far from ideal for carping. Having said that Ashley is having a…

Our worst week ever – followed by a brighter start !!

Last week we had the pleasure of having 4 lads from Norfolk fishing with us and despite very difficult fishing every day was full of smiles and every mealtime was full of good natured banter. In fact we were pleasantly surprised at how much fun can be had even when the carp are not cooperating….

Hard going !!

This week is proving to be as tough as we have yet experienced with the weather turning a lot cooler, and even the odd shower of rain, but few carp to report. It is really strange that we are seeing and hearing so many carp with lots of head and tailing over the baited area’s…

A quiet ending to the week.

It has been another strange week with some cracking fish banked but at no times did the fishing seem easy. With lots of fish showing and the nights being a time of crashing carp it was expected that far more would have been banked. Especially considering that throughout the week carp could be seen rolling…

New website

After our old website crashing due to a virus I have designed and published a new website that is now live. Over the winter I may well look to having a professionally produced website constructed but until then this one seems to do the trick !!

Another 50 for Simon !

Although we have seen just over 30 fish banked it is Simon that is having a tremendous week with 3 x 50’s and 3 x 40’s included in his catch. Everyone has caught and there are some fabulous fish included in most anglers catches. Omar has bagged a brace of 40’s with the best being…

Saddleback well down in weight !!!

It is with some relief and a little surprise that I can report the capture of the ‘Saddleback’ common last night at a well reduced weight of a little over 51lb. The relief is because at one point this year we thought we were going to lose her so it is very pleasing to find…
