Hi guys, 3 of us are doing a long weekend on Wild Boar at the end of September and any advice anyone can give us would be great as its our first time there! I've read through the previous threads on here and see that Ru recommends 1kg per rod per day. Can anyone help in terms of whether method feeding works on Wild Boar and will firing out groundbait balls work or do you need to be spodding a bed of bait out there and fishing over it? Also, as its a prety much weed free lake, can I get away with having a lead around and casting to showing fish/likely spots or is a marker rod needed? Finally, are there any crayfish in Wildboar to worry about? Thank you!

Hi mate,

That's not a recommendation for usage, just an 'allowance' lol.. By all means bring less as we can always replace it if you need but I always err on the side of caution when prepping for a trip abroad and would rather go in with too much rather than not enough.. Wouldn't go shopping (or to Spearmint Rhino) with a fiver, would you?

If they're in a friendly mood, I can assure you that it'll probably be nearer 3kg per rod, per day!

The lake is ALMOST devoid of weed, so having a lead around, etc.. Is fine and it certainly won't spook the fish as one of WildBoar's most popular summer methods is to use the 'SpodiCopter' a Dutch method entailing a spod and a 2-3' hooklink dangling beneath it, this relies entirely on attracting fish into the area with the noise (and to a lesser extent obviously, the food) as it's recast every 5 or so minutes!

As for the Crays, NO.... Not that we're aware of (yet) anyway

Regards,

Ru

Thanks Ru, top advice. I sent you an e mail the other day about bait prices but more importantly, does the shop accept card payments or should I come armed with a wad of Euro's?!

Recognized the question but just thought I'd cover the ground again. We accept both mate, so whatever suits you? Just be aware that any euros leftover at the end of your trip won't be worth a rub when you get home!!!!

Are waders needed for Wild Boar or can I get away with just wellies if I need to go into the edge?

Hi,

Tips on fishing Fox in November are : That it will cost you 750€ as Abbey is trialling a winter syndicate this season! The price entails full access to ALL the lakes on the complex at any time from 16th Nov through until the 16th March, including for the first time, February! The clubhouse will operate extended hours and we'll also be keeping the kitchen open and providing the bar for any mon/wed/sat/sun footy that you guys maybe interested in watching? This opportunity is available to just 35 spaces and there are now only about 6 spots left for the rota..

Kind regards,

Ru

Chesties would be an advantage, wellies will suffice in certain areas, although it shouldn't be necessary to enter the lake at all?!

The Facebook page is still alive and kicking guys, had a little sabbatical for a week or so as we had probs with the internet after a massive hailstorm caused a 'few problems' in the local area!!

Back to normal now though

WildBoar is still fishing well, the best approach at present is to fish fruity/sweet boilies over a bed of particle. Mainline's Sweet pineapple or Essential IB seem to be doing the trick right now. Particle wise, Hemp and Corn always produce, although Pigeon conditioner aka Red Band is a cheaper alternative and the fish seem to like the Aniseed content?!
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
