Looking to book my first trip to sandhurst and just wanted to get some reviews on your experience on the lake. Is there certain hot pegs or can you catch all over. I see 22 swims can be booked out 31 so does this give anglers a good choice of swims. Any feedback would be great
Thanks

Hi mate,
It's a Great Lake and all swims are good for a fish.
The pipes, bailiffs or car park are all poplar swims.
Are you going for an exclusive booking or going per normal?
Worth checking how busy it's been.
Does get weedy but plenty of spots to be found.
Look on YouTube for Jamies Smiths walk around sandy where he describes all the swims.
Regards
Wayne

Fished it a couple of years ago and they had just put dye in to keep the weed down
Wind picked up over night and was blowing into my swim .... I swear in front of me was about 10ft of scum that was like the blue stuff people put in the toilet cistern, Everything i touched was covered in this blue dye and had to change the line on all 3 reels
It was a feckin nightmare
And I blanked and only one fish caught in 48hrs

Has anyone fished Sandhurst recently? Just wondering what the weed coverage is like at the moment as I heard it was pretty bad earlier this year.
Thanks

Fished a couple of days on a social last week. 2 lost fish was all I had to show for it :( Been fishing hard for the last couple of weeks from what I hear, fish not responding to bait at all - anything being caught generally coming out to small bags/sticks & low popups.
Weed very patchy - found some at about 80 yards off the left hand side of the island towards peg 7 and there was visibly some in the back corner bay to the right of bailiffs. Middle of the lake seemed pretty clear though.

I know particles are banned on Sandhurst, does this include no Corn of any kind?

Hi mate, corn is allowed in sensible quantities. I fished peg 3 'carp Park' swim a few weeks ago on a lake exclusive. Lots of options in that peg.
