Is anybody on here a syndicate member?

The video done by DNA baits i.e.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSDn6FYIP40 was pretty impressive.

To be honest I had never heard of the venue, it wasn't around in my early days of carp fishing i.e. 60's and 70's, anybody know when it first opened?

Their website should answer most of your questions.

Personally watching that DNA film looks absolutely exhausting to me. Doesn't look like my idea of fun

Thanks, had a 2nd look at the website and found the info I was looking for i.e. lake 1st stocked in 2003 and opened to anglers in 2005, no wonder I hadn't heard of it in my good old days.

I'd like a quid for every time someone said ‘bug' on that video.

Im surprised that they had enough time to actually fish with the amount of 'baiting up' they had to do.🤔

I'm with you. Apart from physical fitness and some very basic skill in a pre booked swim where is the challenge in catching those fish. Sorry, for me, catching not angling.
Just number crunching. Genuinely leaves me cold. No way I could summon the motivation.

I was a member of the syndicate for a year. This was over 10 years ago. I caught some pretty fish, but nothing huge. Always knew it was going to become a big fish water. The investment, the stock and the bait that was going in. I couldn't justify keeping the ticket and I know it went up and up and up. I don't know what people pay now. However it is an awesome venue, might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's extremely well run. I was told when I left I could rejoin without any issues. I'm sure that's been forgotten about!! I doubt I'd ever go back, unless the wife kicked me out.
