Is A1 Pits a place for a novice Carper?

Pit 456 can be tricky at times but 321 should be fine for a novice

Why at these pits not more highly thought of?

I rate them high and the cheap for 24 hours some nice lumps in there

That's what I thought Greg, i tend to use the views and comments numbers here as a guide to popularity.

A1 was thought of in better terms when it had a lot more stock in all the pits but unfortunately all 6 lakes lost a lot to floods a few yrs back now including s9me bloody big uns!

Some of the fish that are in the pits are lookers nice dark scaley ones too Mid weeks a bit quieter worth fishing imo

Dont really know. I live on Anglesey new to Carp fishing and heard someone somewhere mention them. I am open to suggestions on places to visit.

New lakes opening close by will put pressure on numbers at the pits. They have had a restocking since the floods and these are growing on nice. Does it need a few more quality fish yes it does. I would add around 100 extra fish to pit 5 and 6 stock them at low to mid doubles would be 20s within few years. Some will say theres enough in there but it's a business and customers will drift to other lakes. The lakes themselves are stunning and Steve does a brilliant job. With the correct stocking levels pit 5 could be one of the best lakes in the north.

No one knows many fish are in any one pit
