dont bother with a marker float as the fish will bugger off quickly..............light lead to find hard spots or look for the bubblers...........there is pics on keiths website of the feeding holes near the dam wall.......good spots these by all accounts...........would love to go here but none of my mates want to travel this far............ :suicide_anim:

thanks for the reply mate, will have a look at the website again as didnt see these feeding holes

visiting moorelands at the end of this month! :thumb: spoke to kieth and he said just to get a bed of bait down first nite and sit on it topping it up as the session goes on, apparently its a flat clay bottom so im guessing its best just to wack the marker float out to where you think fish might be and get a bed of bait down as there no under water features, not fished it before so any advice welcomed!

:thumbsup_anim: Its an excellent fishery very well run with fab food and no rats :thumbsup_anim:
Bottom is very silty have a look at his website some good tips on rigs.There are big barrells of lillies up the middle of the lake which are features,i fished Pampas did not fish it well(did not listen to Keith at the start) but still managed some nice fosh to 43 lb which cant be sneezed at.They have grown on well since as was there,would love to go back
Enjoy

Tried to have a look at the web site to see how good it is but for some reason it won't let me on. :thumbsdown_anim:

Hello everyone. Sorry for the long delay between newsletters but we have been re-building a new web-site and all the associated bumph that goes with it. All is now up and running and I thought that now would be a good time to update all of you who haven't been following this year's progress on the blog. We have
had a superb start
to the season and
have currently seen
271 thirties, 81 forties
and 24 fifties grace
the bank. Incidently
the fifties have come
from 14 different fish
and we didn't get to
see 3 others, which
we know have been
fifty plus previously,
before they spawned.

Whilst on the subject
of spawning that seems
to have dragged on for
much longer than usual.
It hasn't ruined any single
week's fishing but there
have been small groups
of carp spawning on and
off for the last three weeks.
I'm pleased to be able to
confirm that it is now well
and truly done and the
fish are back on the feed.
We have seen the smaller
males feed first and this
has resulted in more
twenties and low thirties,
over the last couple of
weeks, than would
normally be expected..

I am now looking forward
to monitoring the weight
gains during summer and,
ROBIN EDEN WITH THE MAGNIFICENT "CUT-TAIL" AT 57LB 7OZ if they get back to the levels
[hopefully slightly bigger]
that they achieved last year, I think we can confidently look forward to some sixties for this coming autumn. We are now planning another vidange for this autumn in
order to re-balance the biomass and to remove all of the small catfish. It is my plan to leave about a dozen of the larger cats [probably just the fifties and above] so that
the carp can settle onto the feed even more easily and then perhaps we can start targetting getting one or two into the seventies.

I shall post another newsletter next weekend and will include some more "thumbnails" of the other fifties from this year. I must also take this opportunity to
congratulate Bang on Baits for producing a stunning bait for us and keeping a very competitive price for all of our customers whether they are using it here or for their
regular fishing in England.

See you all soon
Keith
