Hi guys
Well looks like the weather is now getting colder and don’t we know it, more layers, hats and scarves and the thermals are now being seen all round the fishing bank.
As you fisherman know with the weather getting colder the fish are more harder to catch , its now time for the 18 hooks and the 3lb line to be dusted off and used again.
Woodland lake is fishing well with weights to 80lb showing , mainly on soft pellet, maggot, worm and caster. Method producing well is long pole and also the tip, but fisherman have found you need to scale right down even on the tip.
Aash lake is fishing well with cracking mixed bags to 30lb produced on long pole, mainly on soft pellet, maggot and caster.
Wildmarsh is fishing well with plenty of carp showing from low figures to low doubles, showing mainly on boilies , pellet (hard and soft) and maggot. Rob king had 2 cracking day sessions on Wildmarsh lake using 14mm boilie, tipped with sweet corn with a small bag of pellet, both sessions catching 18 carp, total of 36 all between 5lb and 14lb, 1st session was 18 hrs and 2nd session was only 6 hrs Plenty of silverfish showing mainly on pole and cage feeder with best baits proving are maggot but also soft pellet, ground bait, worm and caster.
Chandos lake starting to prove abit more harder now but still cracking carp to 20lb showing on mainly sweet baits.
Tip of the month “scale down” if you hook a carp then you’ll just have to take it abit more slowly, its better to be hooking fish than hooking no fish.
Well myself and everyone at trinity waters would like to thank you for all support this year and would also like to wish you all a happy Christmas and a happy new year, and will look forward to seeing you in 2012. Lets hope its brings us plenty of fish and plenty of lovely weather for many enjoyable days fishing on the bank.
Speak soon, catch plenty
Take care
Fisherman.
Report of Chandos Specimen Carp lake by Scott Woodside AKA Woody
I arrived at Trinitywaters about 2pm,it was very windy but dry.I drove up to my peg (11) on Chandos,
had a quick look about the peg,wind was blowing straight at me,i thought this is going to be fun
putting up my bivvi,infact the worst part was fitting my winter wrap but got there in the end.
Everything pegged down,I got everything unpacked,pod setup,rods set up. Idid not cast any rods for
about an hour,lots of noise made on the back setting up,i do this every session,i like everything to go
quiet for a while before i bait up,I put my rods out at about 4pm, baited up with 20x16mm baits around each rod,
and settled down for the night,That nite was quiet as i expected so got a reasonable nites sleep.I woke up at
about 8am,all was quiet,I was nice and warm in my bag and was relluctant to get out in the cold,I made myself a nice
cup of tea,rolled a ciggy,10 min later i hear my 4th alarm come to life,i rush out to my rod and see that the tip bending
to the right,I lift into the fish and play it for about 10 min,As i guide the fish over my net,i look down and see a nice
dark common,i weigh the fish,24lb exactly,i grab a couple pictures and return the fish,I am one very happy man, 1st fish on
the bank and not been on my peg 24hours.I rebait and settle down with my cup of tea i made earlier.
The rest of the day was very quiet,the odd bleep,went to bed about 9.30pm and settled down for the night,It was a very wet
night,heavy rain with strong winds,i was woke up at 1am to a screaming run this time on my 3rd rod,good job rain had stopped,
2nd fish on the bank a small double common,went back to bed,3rd day was very quiet,not evan a bleep. 4th day (friday) 8.45 am
my 3rd rod bleeps and a 15lb mirror on the bank,this was my 3rd fish so far. i weigh the fish and return.10.30 the same morning
rod 4 goes again,4th fish on the bank,a nice 16lb 1oz linear mirror,i shout to rick who was doing a 48hr on peg 12,pics taken and
fish returned,I rebait and settle down for the rest of my sessiom,But that was my last fish this session,Saturday was very quiet
had a few odd bleeps but no runs,my last day seemed to come very quick and was time to go home,everything was packed away all nice
and tidy,bivvi went away dry,and was time to leave,All in all a great session again,4 fish in winter was a great result,Roll on next
