I was doin quite well up until the big freeze,me and my mates normally fish every weekend. Im on the south coast so it only really happened last weekend. Ive still been goin down the lake and putting my bait in (thru holes in the ice) Ive had a 22lb and a 17.6lb fully scaled mirrors on my homemade boilies so Im well chuffed. Would post pics but I dont know how to do all that url stuff,can I not just attach straight off my pc some how?

Had some reasonable sessions up to the freeze.

Mainly on single pop ups or criticlly balanced snow man rigs

All waters in north west well frozen now with over 2" of ice so cant even do an ice break

 

Visited Four sesons and Wyreside but no luck

When ice breaks,I would sggest to anyone to visit four seasons at Blackpool. Its a fairly new venue with two waters a ond at 4 and a smale lake at 9 acres

Small one (Mill Lake) is a real runs had 12 in 24 hour session late November. You do need to fish it though as check and hope does not work. Thats why many blank at this place.

Has a good cafe and elect on all pegs.

5* facilities

And No, I am not par of the fishery team, even though this sounds like an advert

Dunno if I could do a 48 sess up north anymore,been down south too long. I remember trying to break through the leeds and liverpool canal as a kid,trying to test out me new fishing gear,seems mental now. Done a 48hr on Broadlands lake just before new year and got flooded out the 1st night,water came up 18" over the bank by mornin. No fish either.

just had a look at the raker lake web site mate, looks a good water for big carp and not too far from me might give it a go after the big freeze

raker is a nice pond mate stocked with plenty of big carp also the bank is always clean and tidy with plenty of space on every peg

 

if you ring them to book a peg give peg 13 and 5 a wide birth mate you dont get much water they are both corner pegs but can still produce good fish
