Come on lads help me out, someone out there must have fished the island lake!

compleat tangler

fished it several times stuffed carp hold around features and bomb and pellet (fishery own) is the method but beware these carp are physco will pull rod in on the bite often 8lb maxima and similar strong hooklength is needed hook and hold fire big pellet out regular (donkey chokers as we call em) also solid with silvers skimmers and tench plus rudd soft pellet over pellet or corn will pick up skimmers some pegs can be fished on top two or three. casters will get you 40lb off the top to hand at 2/3m but not much good if ton of carp required to win enjoy it it is a fantastic venue
