Simple Match Fishing Forum

i have been to some great venues so far this year and would like all to know where they are so that we could fish them next year if possible,,the first one is called greenhills and what a venue that is ,the second one is larford arena great venue,third is cotton cons grebe pools full of fish,and very reasonable as well.also  theres brookfields fishes well on the day,just a thought for you tony ,,but if they fish well for me just think how they would fish for you lads ,,

some great shouts there Harry.

Hi Harry,

The only one of those i've fished is larford Arena and I have to agree.. it's loaded with fish. Overstocked by a mile but I havent a problem with that on occasion . Its one of those places where you could walk across 'em, as is sometimes said.

Despite all that I fished two matches there last year and when the whistle went and it all went quiet... so did the fish! No topping or showing and a lot of anglers struggled. Right at the death three of us were bagging up in a corner while the rest of the anglers around the pool watched. Crazy this fishing game lol.

The other time was last winter and we couldnt get a bite off a carp. A very good angler who took me was distraught lol. He's not used to struggling. But thats the name of the game. Crazy this fishing lark.

To cap it all off, i've caught well at Lower Park ! And look how we struggled there last week ! So crazythis fishing lark.

Lost count of the the number of venues ive enjoyed myself and would dearly love my clubs to fish ...and if we do get there, what happens, usually not very much ! Or as TK would say the curse follows.

Personally I think picking venues is a nightmare of a job, all we can do is hope we hit some of them on a good day.

Hope we have some of those good days coming up Harry We all deserve a few now and then

Thanks for the thoughts/comments Harry

Cheslynboy doesn't appear very positive about Greenhills

well tony it was only a thought as i say they fished well for me so i know they will fish well for you guys

oh and as for cheslynboys comments on greenhills there is no need to fish with a feeder or anything other than float either pole or wagler and you can use a catty

Got a website for it Harry? Can we fit upto 27 on it?
Ta

how about my local lake bishops bowl match lake you can fit around 35 on it or packington or barford lakes which are both good

Harry how far are you planning into the futire ?

Greenalls = last time i heard there was a 3 YEAR waiting list for weekend matches

LArfords = Mpre expensive to book for a match than the venues cashmores use at present so club fees would have to go up, plus theres a a long waiting list for bookings

Grebe = Dont know

Brookfeilds = a total sh1t hole that need filling in . Under stocked and produces very low match weights



MAC= packington is a sh1t hole that is suffering for the past 2 years from various diseases. LAst year mds booked a match on there and all tho all the fish were dieing and floating on the top the owners asked people not to fish for carp as they were dieing from spawning . They hadnt got the decentcy to tell a match booking the truth that they had KHV

if you call 55lb very low then so be it ,, we only pay the same at the sneyed match group as cashmores and we went there last week ,but like i said i am only thinking.. it is not up to me i am only one amongst many lol

i will ask paul davis tony he will know about any of the venues as he is the club secrtary he would be only to pleased to help

Keep 'em coming - with contact details/prices etc - I'm listening.......


Just need to bear in mind we need to be able to cater for 27 just incase all 25 members and our two honorary members all turn out........

well tony it was only a thought as i say they fished well for me so i know they will fish well for you guys

Ps Harry - we've fished 'cock' venues before............


And still usually have a disaster as the 'kicks in'

tk i can get bishops bowl for around 140 for the hole lake all we need to pay is a 40 deposit and rest on the day and it will holds 35 pegs but you could get 37 at a phus let me know and when is the 2010 membership due

misterton hall, lutterworth please

Errrm Brewsters or suez at cudmore please

Lower park fishery

where did you get that brill venue from drynet lol

been to brookfields today a little better than lower park but a s--t hole and yes wants filling in
