I was hoping i didn't have to work to day so i could visit this venue. Unfortunatley i did have to work Image, but didn't have to start until lunch time Image. So 5 am the alarm goes off Image, jump out of bed (well fall out Image) coffee on, toast in the toaster tackle in the car. 5.30 post code in the sat nav and off i go. sat nav says take m6 south, fishery is in penkridge which is north Image. rollox to the sat nav i will head off my self and hope the sat nav wakes up . Junc 13 still sat nav wants to go south Image Im sure i told it i wasn't ging to rolfs cos i had though that match was may not april :'(. Rollox to the sat nav i will have a go at finding it my self Image. Off i go to wards penkridge and i see a sign for dunston (yes Image) then i see a sign on a post of a fish with dunston heath farm on it . Yes ive found it and its only 5 to 6 Image Image. I read the rules on the sign ect and went to find a peg. I met the owner who gave me a breif talk about the pool.

I chose a peg that wasn't over the other side so i didn't have to walk for to long. My peg was 9m off the first island and to the left of it is was one hell off a snag pit. If what every one is right what they were saying that peg is gonna be fun Image. Apart from 1 area (5ft deep) the whole pools is 3ft deep. I got a rig out .17 power line straight through to a animal 14 hook and bait was corn. Top kit was the 25 vespe Image. Fed pellets. 10 mins past nothing Image, change bait , red mag over pellet (as the bloke on the next peg was using that and had 3 carp to 4-5lb in them 10 mins) still nothing Image Image . another bait change 4mm pellet over pellet and red mag. This instantly make the float start bobing about. strike nothing, strike nothing fcuking hell this doing my head in Image the bang a crucian is in the net. Bloody hell 25 laccy is a bit much for crucians so top kit gose to black hydro but sane rig. Bang 3 more crusians, followed by a carp about 3 lb the crash bang wollop, through the snags, round the island across the pool, round the pool (bl00dy hell how far does black hydro stretch before it snaps ?? Image in the end it was put the top kit down and pull the laccy in by hand untill a 13.2 lb (thanks to john the owner for the use of the scales) comon was in the net . By the time i left at 12 for the race to get to daventry for 1 i had had 15 crucian, 1 tench, 7 carp and 9 silvers (roach and rudd). Unfortunatly i forgot my camera, but any days off i get from now on dunston will be getting my 4 quid Image Image.

The rules on the board are

£4 aday and £1 for a extra rod
keep nets allowd for fish upto 2 lb
barbless hooks max size 10
all anglers must have landing net
no floating baits
no pea nuts, no hemp, no bollies, no trout pellets, no night fishing, no ground bait.

the owner also said that when the caravaners are there if the leave their stuff on a peg over night and they aren't on the peg and you want that peg then move there stuff as you arent allowd to leave stuff on pegs to save them .
