Comments

Quick visit.

06.30. maggots produced small roach to 6oz, one per cast.

Changed over to small red worm, lightly feeding maggots, this produced Perch to 1/2lb. then the small roach took over, then a 1lb Perch.

07.00 Took three 2lb carp. Then a small Tench.

Between this time till 08.00 five more small Tench, then another Carp.

Maggots just produced small silvers one a cast.

Swapped over to maggot and worm and more small Tench.

Sun started to show through the clouds, and you could see the carp cruising around the weed beds.

Fishing tight to the weeds produced two more 2lb carp and one more Tench.

By 08.30 there were five more people fishing, all have their memberships checked.

One more small Tench and a small carp.

09.00 Getting a little bit crowed for me.

Was it worth the visit?, absolutely, Bopeep is the ideal venue for pole fishing.
