[mr beef]

:confused: any one know if longleat lakes are open yet? have tried ringing a few times but no one has answered?

 

Many thanks.

Shearwater is but i dont know about longleat lakes.

The lakes are open mr beef - apparently there has been a haul out of there recently...

 

Take a look at this thread.

Can't see it myself though not for the top lake surely. We all now how hard that lake is.

[mr beef]

yes we do, cant really see it myself, you would have difficulty doing that well on the middle lake!

i'm a regular at shearwater and yes longleat is now open,said to be fishing well and yes , top lake is the same true to form.shearwater on the other hand is very slow, mainly due to the bankside disturbance and clearing over the closed period.plus the fact that it was dredged adding another 2ft depth has made it challenging to say the least :mad: Please let us know if u have a successful visit.

Hi colby, sorry about a late reply but have had pc probs! :mad: but didn make it to longleat. fished shearwater insted

No i had no carp over the 24hr session i fished, only a few bream and tench. Friend had a small carp about 6lb on 1st cast on popup tuti frutti 14mm boilie and methord and a few bream, we fished near the dam wall end.

If you were there i was the man with a swan in his hands for a few mins!on sunday morning :mad: line got caught on his ring! knew working at a bird gardens for a few years would come in handy

 

mate fished little shearwater easter and had a few low doubles out near the sunken trees on corn.

think that might be your best bet! :cool: :cool:

[mr beef]

Colby, forgot to say friend went to go to longleat easter wkd but couldn get in but he said now they are charing £20 for a 24hr session! any idea if this is correct?

[frenchie1]

hi Mr Beef, yes that is correct.

I put a post in (coarse fishing)have a look

i should have put i here but i am new to forums and did not see this one.

[Newt]

frenchie1 - actually you put the other thread in the "proper" forum.

 

This one was initially set up for SESSION (so, long stay) angling of multiple days. We've sorta strayed and now it gets lots of carp threads that don't involve real session angling.

 

In any event, no biggie since if a post gets too badly mis-placed, one of the mods will just move it.

[mr beef]

Well! dont think i will be going there that often or not this year 30lb carp or not!

 

Think Loard Bath will be doing his house up! :mad:
