Far end of Lake 7 certainly isn't by the car park

Wish I did have a Power Porter as would open up venues to me nowadays with the mobility problems I have now. Done it with a Mk4S Porter (biggest piece of crap on the market & not balanced at all!) & with a Fox Explorer (much much much easier to push around!).

I was more interested in the "bird watching" lake over the back of Lake 2 across the bailey bridge......

Pit 2 was my favourite, always walked past 1 even though it had the bigger fish in. First got a ticket mid 90's when Stanjay had it. My mate had the Italian at 27 (I think) and that was me addicted. Moved away but it was the first place I joined when I moved back. Not had a ticket for a few years now but I hope to go back one day. Places like that are few and far between these days. Only met one pillock on there who'll remain nameless but his nickname summed him up.

I remember the walk around I had with Rob before rejoining and he assured me I'd not catch anything under 20lb. About 3 hours later I had a scaly 17 from pit 3 😂.

As for the walk, was a piece of piss compared to trudging up & down river banks.

Didn't know you were on here Bevan! My two fondest memories of that place were photographing fish for other anglers.
River for little Jack and Bertie's mate for you. Never forget that absurd morning out in the boat! Still look at those pics weekly and kick myself for hardly fishing pit 3.

I spent the majority of my time on pit1 due to only having a night or two a month. It was lovely and quiet, had it to myself more often than not. It's only tiny but it offered everything. They got in the edges a lot in the Spring and loved a bit of bait out amongst the weed post spawn... I've got some cracking videos of them smashing my spot to pieces for hours before one finally made a mistake.

Would love to post a few pics but I guess the publicity ban is still in place?

There always used to be a ban. Rob was quite insistent on it. Before the Facebook group there was a website and a couple of members got a telling off for publicly sharing photos, if I remember correctly.

Think it only came into effect half way through my first year, so 2016. There's loads of pics on insta all the time but nothing really goes on fb these days.

Think I re-joined in 2012 and it was in place then. It was ok to post photos of fish but you couldn't say where they were from.

If you was on in 2012 I bet Paul the bailiff was down alot in them times... He used to be on pit 1 with his rigs hooked onto his butt eye of his rods already to go but didn't fish for days!?

Certainly a character that bloke

The leather died out pit three



I joined in 2014 I think
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
