Hi paintdec,

I've fished a few club matches there over the past few years. It's mainly a small fish venue. There are bigger bream but they have never shown for us. I usually feed down the middle for them and hope, trying with a bomb or feeder over the feed now and again, but no luck yet.

There's loads of small skimmers in there. Sometimes we've had lots caught and others they've just not shown at all, plus the usual perch and roach and eels.

Best bet either maggot feeder or groundbait feeder down the shelf and middle. It's quite deep, 9-14 ish, but varying. Could use chopped worm / caster, pays yer money and takes yer choice.

We've had 20lb of small fish caught on the pole, with bites all day and other times very slow. Expect it to be slow and you wont be disappointed and more than likely correct.

3-8lb club weights should do you. wide range I know but thats how it is. Nice setting.

Alternatively pole it. It's usually slow, but if it picks up a bit and in that depth I sometimes use a bait dropper for accuracy.


PS Just by way of interest, I once tried a fish finder out there. It picked up plenty of fish in the the edges, in the lillies and it only showed fish from about 2lbs and up. They were pretty much along the length. I never found out what they were. Jack pike, Zander, Bream ???
Just a thought.

cheers mark.
just hope the weathers nice then. no harm in feeding the margins, and give it a try every hour or so.
i will pole it over groundbait, for main line.
