Yes it's very well run. Clean, tidy, with very good shower and toilet facilities. So lovely carp to go at too. Bramley has recently done a 40lb fish too and a good head of 30's and 20's.
Good luck and enjoy

It's a good venue in the colder months. The best tip I can give you is keep you eyes and ears peeled. Finding them is key. The far end is deeper, so can be better in the colder months, but not always. Most tactics work. If you are not getting bites on the bottom, try a zig.

Thinking Anglers SBX in 40lb breaking strain.

Not tried the Fox one. But Avid is the best all round braid I've used. Casts well for a sinking braid.

I've used Halo for almost 2 years now. It's top quality bait. I've got huge confidence in it. The ingredients are high quality and it catches a lot of fish. Matt the owner is a very experienced carp angler, with an immense knowledge of bait. I would highly recommend it.

Sad news. A very talented angler and writer. His Horton articles in carp world were a big inspiration and his books were fantastic too.

Generally tinned is better.
With frozen leave the bag out over night to defrost. Also don't add it to the mix until the last minute. Adding it to other bait the night before, dries it out and makes it float.
