Not for 30 years but it was decent then

Used to night fish for bream (caught fish up to 6lb)

Then maggots for roach as it came light then live bait for pike.

Mate had one of 21lb out there but biggest I had was 8lb

 

Cheers, D.

Not fished it for 20 years mate,but it was a good water years ago,plenty of runs.....when I last fished it there was loads of blanket weed,I remember walking backwards into a field about 50yds whilst playing a pike ,the rod rings were jammed solid with the stuff have a good day ATB Dave

Yup its my local, its reasonable at best for pike nowadays, pleanty fish there but you need to be sneaky an find a spot that doesn't get hammered, every one hits the sewer bank side so can be hard going. Get on the bowling green side there's one or two laybys, use a marker and feel about for features on the bottom. A bait boat helps too. My biggest fish from there are a 17lb pike 9lb bream 2lb perch n my fave a eel I can only guess was touching doubles but came off boohoo

The only boat used to be in john back garden for fishing off of. He doesn't live there any more?

[mhopton 807]

He was a guy who lived near main road who had the boat,

I got to know him as I was there regular way 10 year ago

He used to take me trawling up and down the lock he was

going to start hiring out two boats he had like I say this was

ten years ago
