Fished for 24 hours yesterday and managed a 17lb 8oz mirror so pretty happy.

Having spoken to few of the guys that were coming off, they’d all said the fishing had slowed right up so least I managed to pull one out and will be returning soon.

I fished 2 many years back on the cemex ticket and had a few. I did get offered a ticket a while back declined as hadn’t been fishing on a long while.

Are you on syndicate 1 or 2? Hoping my ticket comes through next year but not really been able to speak to anyone that fishes there to get some inside info so going in a little blind. Happy for a PM rather than hijacking this thread (getting a bad habit of doing that)

Ok thanks. Least there’s not huge amounts of weed.

Look like some nice fish in there so hopefully get amongst them.

I fish the syndicate water next to it and walked round last week. Lot of algae in the water currently by the look of it. From what I gather, no real problems with nuisance fish. Bit weedy but nothing horrendous.
My advice... Don't overthink it. Lot of fish in there and an easy water.

I’ve managed to book on for a 24 hour session at the island lake.

Does anyone who’s fished it know if it’s very weedy at all? And is there many bream/tench in there if I was to use a mix of bait rather than just boilie’s?

Thanks

Ok thanks.
I’m tempted to book a few days off in the week and then head there then

Has been fairly busy recently over weekends, but dead during the week. Even during busier periods though you can always find a spot

If your doing a day get there before 6 and your beat most if not all of the daytime people

I’d looked at the cottage lane lakes. See they have linked all 4 of the lakes. How busy do these lakes get ?

RDAA waters have some great waters, I’m in a similar situation to yourself. I am back after a 5 year break so have been fishing cottage lane, in hope of blowing off the cobwebs.

Decent head of fish up to a decent size, we most scenarios covered across them.

Great value ticket in my opinion

It's a small lake which is relatively shallow, so you'll find them easy enough. Just fish bags etc for a bite at a time. If the weather is good then don't forget floaters.

Thanks for reply’s. Think RDAA waters are bit more than I’m looking to tackle again just yet. Will give the island lake a go.

Any tips on tactics?
