The spell of warm weather at the end of May resulted in a number of species beginning their spawning activities. The Pike had spawned a good couple of months previously and more recently the Tench had just finished. However the Bream had yet to spawn and the carp were showing no signs. I believe the [...]
Carp fishing is full of highs and lows and most of us go through a whole range of emotions during the season as our plans either come to fruition or don’t work out. It’s not often we get both extremes of emotions in a single session though, and it’s even less often when we get [...]
It was now Tuesday evening and having been at the syndicate lake since Sunday, I had finally caught a fish and put the terrible start behind me. Nothing happened after the capture and by next morning the fish had done their usual disappearing act. For the first morning in a long time the sun had [...]
Every year, around the beginning of May, I take a week off to focus on my syndicate lake. It’s usually a productive time as the water is warming up nicely and the fish begin to feed heavily ahead of spawning. However, this year the recent cold weather has put us back at least a month [...]

A week after breaking my “first session curse” I was back at the lake in the evening on Easter Monday. The lake had been really busy all weekend and a handful of fish had been out. Unfortunately the lake was still really busy with about 14 anglers staying that night. The lake is about 15 [...]
I thoroughly enjoyed my winter campaign at the ReserveLake but have been looking forward to getting back to the Park Lake this spring.

So I’d finally bagged a couple of fish from my winter water. A week later as I pulled into the car park for my next session I was still on cloud 9. Confidence was sky high – I had cracked it and surely it was now just a case of slinging the rods out and [...]
My winter: Part 1 By the middle of November I had caught 34 fish from the Park lake, of which 10 were over 30lb, the biggest going 35lb 12oz. I had done less time this year so was happy with my results. Last winter I fished right through and didn’t catch a single fish. Only [...]

After bagging a 33 pounder the previous week I was itching to get back, and the next few days at work really dragged. Eventually though I was pulling into the car park with a 2 night session ahead of me. A warm westerly was pushing towards the top of the lake but the wind had been [...]
