I'm grabbing advice from as many people as I know in the game, ready for taking the plunge...my mate owns Emperor fisheries in Kingsbridge, hes put some cracking roach and tench in his stock pond for me....I think they will have died of old age before I get them! Lol Definitely take you up on your offer at some point though, get a few days fishing in too... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it is mate, I met him a few years back through SeanC off here, since we were tasked with clearing the roach and tench out if the main syndicate lake (I'm not a carp man)... had the best days roach fishing ever, 1 after the other averaging a pound a couple over 2lb... it was mental! Lol... Hes been up here and gave me a load of advice, but I'm a bit away from digging out, loads of work on property first.... I've helped him out a bit with materials etc, get on well with him to be fair...he knows his fishing and fishery management that's for sure.... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
