I use to chase them on the river wye which ain’t a million miles from you mate , some very special fish in the wye , they got in there in the 80s when the river used to to flood the near by lakes , have had carp upto 30lb off the wye , unfortunately I can’t do the leg work any more (sighing face )
Yeah that’s have the battle is getting through the big tench and bream which both go to over 15lb , locals call the pit jurassic Park nothing is small in there pike go to over 30lb ……
wasn't sure wether to gasp or laugh, jurassic park, thats cool. right how many rods can you legaly use at one time? id like yto catch one of those bream or tench
Three rods on the pit mate , is on a dead man’s syndicate so basically a new place comes available when a member passes , took me 15yrs to get on …..
Thats crazy I thought it was only good salmon beats that have a waiting list so good carp beats do too? It's something I've only ever caught by accident fishing for pike cos it's usually trout n salmon n that I go after more so so the opposite of you guys I take a back pack a rod and some doobies and that's me it's too over grown up here to carry loads lol
There's a old sand quarry near me filled with water that's free no one bothers there arse locals threw pike roach bream n tench etc in some carp too then in the nature reserve pond across the way from it folk flung some big grass carp and the like in too not so many people know about the second spot having fish in tho so it's not so bad but idk I just prefer rivers tbh
