I've been waiting for the water to warm up a little at my local fishery. I can't wait to cast the first rig of the new year. My local holds , Tench , Bream , Roach and Perch so theres plenty to go for, I catch on all types of bait including Maggots, Bread, Worm, Paste, Castor,Corn, and many more . I've been using a pole for the last 2 seasons but I really have'nt mastered it as yet.

Whats your favourite water ? what does it hold ? what fish are there? and what baits do you use? Oh and whats your best catch and what method do you use ?

Had some good catches over the last 2 weeks as the Bream are starting to show.The last outing Wednesday bagged about 20ib mixed bag, but lost and missed many possibly due to barbless hooks. Took Grandson Thursday  he was delighted with 20 Roach and a couple of Perch,

I have been out a couple of times this week, first time since just after xmas , both times on local club commercial type, fished down the margins first time lots of carp on sweetcorn , mirrors , f1 s and commons also 1 bream and a few roach. 2 days later fished up in the water with a jigger float between 10 inch  and 2 foot deep, Fed 4 mm hard pellets and a 6 mm in a band on the hook , a red letter day. I normally like to fish for 5 hours but could only manage about 4 hours each time, By the way keep trying the pole when it comes natural its a great way to fish.

Yes use the pole all the time now so does my Grandson he is only !2 and loves it.I posted this thread 3yrs ago so my initial shown post is a little out of date now. I cannot understand where all the other posts from other members have gone.Thing is, I cannot access this site on my Ipad mini which I use most of the time. But willstill be out fishing at least once a week now the weathers better. So ' Tight lines ' and thanks for the reply HSW.

Fished quite a few times in the past Here Not sure where the nearest caravan site is because we have used the lodges. but the fishing on the match lake is 1st class with Carp over 10lb quite common place on particle baits.

Fields end water is worth a visit for some arm aching action, the fish in the pool lake really know how to fight. An affiliated site , adults only.

Going to Westfield country park in a lakeside lodge near Hull next week for a couple of nights. Never been but our lodge has its own fishing peg outside the lodge. Apparently well stocked lakes with weighty catches, anyone else been here?

Had some good catches at Westfield Lakes, but broke my leg on return so  have not been able to fish this season.
