[Sale Water Park]

hi guys, anyone with any idea how well sale water park is fishing we're fishing?, also baits, tactics, pegs etc..... cheers

[Howdy!]

Just joined and thought i would say Hi!

 

Ive been fishing since I was 9 years old, so have 20 years experience, predominately as a pleasure angler but have some match experience.

 

This year i've decided to hunt some big slabs and some decent tench and wondered if anyone knew of any good waters for these two - i'm based in Bury, in the North West and i'm really looked to beat my PB of 8lb 4oz Bream! - Little Carcus has been a good little pond for big(ish) bream as the carpers from the main lodge seem to hurl them in there! But this year i've decided against re-joining Bury Anglers due to the state of some of their waters and the fact they lost Parkers. I am open to join other societies though for a good big slab water!

 

This year so far i have been using the method quite a lot, with some good success, but also prefer pole.

welcome mate, i dont know about clubs/societies near bury, but if you wanna catch big slabs, i mean big(doubles), debdale resevoir in gorton, is fishing its head off..i work in the tackle shop up the road from there and everyone who fishes it tells me the top lake especially, is producing bream to 12 lbs! hope this helps!

[Specimen Rudd (tactics,etc ?)]

Rudd will often feed high up in the water. I would not confess to being an expert but i have targeted them a few times. Lots of spraying maggots with maggot on the hook. Size 18 with double maggot 16 when they start getting confident. They tend to go around in showls alot and can move around alot. If you want the rudd i suggest be prepared to move swims a few times to find them. As i say i am by no means an expert but that has been my tactic in the past and it has worked.

 

get mobile!, Rudd like bream shoal up, so move about to get on them. The most success i've had, has been when getting them to come up in the water. So as previously suggested maggots, little an often, get them competing in the upper layers, then pull out the better fish by switching to corn. This tactic has worked really well for me in the past..... tight lines!!!!
