Hi All,

My mate is due out next week and wondering how it's fishing?
Anyone out there at the moment or recently back?

Cheers

On lake 1.One of the bailiffs is on the lake and tearing it up while 8 of the 9 paying customers is currently blanking.

Lake 3 is pretty much unfishable due to weed.

Lake 4 has heavy weed. Tench coming out!

Lots of long faces atm but there's plenty of time for that to change.

That doesn't sound good mate.

Assuming you are there at the moment?, Weather very hot by the looks.

Bailiff in 7.

It's cooling down though. Rain and potential thunder storms tonight into tomorrow.

Bailiff in 7 rested his swim all day and has this evening had a 68+lb mirror.

Since then he's had 2 more fish.

Well. I suppose there's no substitute for local knowledge. Absolutely rinsing it.

I don't agree with bailiffs being allowed to fish to be honest, they are there to help you not to show you how many fish they can catch.

How is lake 5 doing?

Agreed. Did the bailiff chose that swim before the draw, or did the draw take place and that swim wasn't being used.
If the bailiffs are allowed to fish then I think the later should apply.
Is the owner aware of what goes on?

Bailiff pulled off yesterday. Angler dropped in right behind and has had fish now.


Lake 2 is also heavily weeded. Horrendous in places. Few guys are now on it and have picked up a few fish.

Seems mad to me that a bailiff on a holiday venue could fish while paying customers are on? Surely his job is to move around the lake helping/checking in on the punters?

Iv been to cretelakes numerous times, it used to be 1 bailiff a week gets to fish nights only, and if someone wanted the peg he was in they had to move

That's how it was when we where there I'm shure they had a peg by there accommodation but any one could fish that as well
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
