Hi all, I apologise if there has been a lot of these posts before but I'm fairly knew to the forum. I'm looking for some bargains on eBay. Anyone recommend any good deals? Not looking for anything in particular, but may look to stock up on some leads and bite indicators if you could recommend some. Who's got a bargain for me? Anything carp related. Thanks.

Hi, has anyone fished here? Any info or tips? May give it a try soon.

Did you ever fish Belfont in Crai? And anyone know anything about the syndicate at the Dderw yet?

A small farm pond (1 acre) near me stocked some grassies a few years ago to try and tackle the weed problem they had. I was advised to try bread crust and dog biscuits, but had no luck. Eventually had a 6lb on double red maggot!! Only other one I've had since was a 14lb on cell at Celtic lakes. Very hard fighting fish, and tempted to go back to the farm to see what size they are now, as it was 2008 when I caught it...

Hi all, I know of a lake that is re-opening and would like to give it another try. It originally opened in 2005 and was stocked with carp and tench. At this time they were small, biggest around 3lb, with the majority around the 1lb mark. Just curious as to what size they would be now, anyone have any idea? It hasn't been fished a great deal...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has any further information on these rods? To anyone interested, they will be going on eBay this evening, get in touch if you would like me to post the links. Dale.

Fished the larger of the day tickets at the Dderw yesterday, 13 carp ranging from 7lb to 16 lb. Anyone had any luck?

Thanks. I have been keeping an eye on eBay but there doesn't seem to be any consistency for the Allcocks rods, some not fetching any bids at £5, yet some I have seen hit £45. I will be posting them all on eBay at the end of the week. Fingers crossed...

Bread....agree 100% And yes I understand the lake differences, but just interested to see if there is a strong opinion of some baits...

Just curious as to what hook baits you think are 'over rated' and 'under rated'. Can be a variety of reasons, but would just like to see if there is a specific trend between us... For me: Over rated: Tiger Nuts - a lot of talk about them locally, but failing to produce results for me and friends! Under rated: Halibut pellets - disregarded on one of my lakes, yet i'm catching consistently with them, keeping it quiet though Dale.

Pictures are available if anyone would like a look...

Shame about the PLM. The only one around Cradoc I know is the Gludy, catch and release trout lake...very nice lake and some very good fish in it! Type it into google to look at their site. No idea about the one near Llanfrynach though. Do you know of anyone that is a syndicate member at the Dderw in Llyswen, I fancy giving it a go! How did Ponde go today?

Hi all, I did try this a few months back, but to no avail... I have a few old rods which have been passed on to me. Unfortunately, I won't use them - but I don't know enough about them to be able to try and sell them. Any information on the following rods would be very much appreciated. - Auger 'Divvia Match' - 12ft, 3 piece - Mint Condition - Lee of Redditch and Pershore 'The Newlee' - 10 1/2 ft, 3 piece - Okay Condition - Allcocks 'Popular' - 9ft, 2 piece - Excellent Condition - D.M OZOLS '#819' - 9 1/2 ft, 2 piece - Excellent Condition - D M O (No name) - 9ft, 2 piece - Excellent Condition - Un-named rod - almost identical to the Allcocks Popular - 7ft, 2 piece - Excellent Condition Im looking to find out the age, materials used, value and where it was made - but any general info you may have will be appreciated. Offers can be discussed if anyone is interested... Thanks, Dale.

The owner 'thinks' the orfe go to 7 lb in Painscastle. I'm off to Talgarth next week...Hereford tomorrow. Think I spoke to someone about that lake in Ponde before, they thought it was a trout lake. Let me know whats there though, could be worth a go. Not sure if you knew about it, but there used to be a good lake near Three Cocks/Velindre. Went there a few times when I was young, very good fishing. Roach, bream, tench, carp. I spoke to a friend last year who told me that the lake had been closed due to new ownership of the house/land. I'm hoping to find out about it this evening, would be interesting to see what its like now, there used to be a good stamp of fish in there! Cant remember the way there exactly, had a look on google maps, found something that resembled a lake, might see if I can get on there soon! Only other I can say I've tried is a small farm in Sarnau, near Cradoc. Some OK roach and FULL of perch, only up to about 3 lb...majority being around 1 lb. The owner did however buy some grass carp, I caught one at 6 lb. They should have put on some weight over the last 2 years since I caught it, but it's not fished that often. It has unfortunately become over-powered with weed, resulting in only one clear area. They are hoping to have it all cleared soon, and then to introduce a few small carp which could be promising. I have fished 2 lakes at the Dderw, the one near the house has gone down hill!...But the one over the road (the larger of the two), has picked up over the last 12 months. There is also a syndicate water there, behind the woods near the house....any info on it? Dale.

I have fished the canal and the lake in Llangorse. Also fished some small private farms in and around Brecon but nothing special. Belfont lake near Crai has now closed. I have also tried the Spring Rock Fishery (carp) in Llandegley, but blanked twice. I have done a lot of carp sessions at the Dderw in Llyswen, bit hit and miss but not too bad - supposed to be a 20+ in there, but yet to see it, my best there is 16 lb. Found 2 smaller lakes on a farm in Painscastle - did a few days there last summer - caught tench to 5lb, some small roach, golden orfe to 5 lb and carp to 9 lb. It holds some very good golden orfe and the carp record is 27 lb, caught about 2 years ago. The farmer has got small breeding ponds as he used to farm salmon and trout, he claims there are a few left in the lakes (yet to be proven haha). The only other place worth mentioning is a narrow lake in Trefecca, Talgarth. Found it last summer and it is a very good match lake. Large range in there - gudgeon, roach, dace, bream, tench, carp (mirror, common, crucian and koi). I really enjoyed fishing it, and had a lot of success there - best being a 14 lb mirror and a 19 lb common. It's a private lake, currently being extended so will be hoping to get back on it soon! If you need any info for these let me know! Anyone else got any others?

Hi all, I'm looking for any information you have on lakes in and around Brecon, Mid Wales. Anyone out there got any hidden gems? I have fished quite a few, but looking to try somewhere new, or even offer some new places to others. Thanks.

My first time carp fishing couldnt have gone any worse! After choosing a peg and setting up, the bulls from the field next door escaped and chased us! By the time they had been gathered in by the farmer, I was covered in bull s**t! From here, things got worse, the rain came down and my hands were froze! Inexperienced, I tried piercing a boilie, slipped and put the baiting needle down the length of my finger! The barb had caught on my tendons and wouldnt come out, I had to go to A&E (covered in muck!) to have the barb cut out before it could be removed! Worst of all, I had blanked and had to buy my friend a new needle!

Hi all, I have an Auger rod, 12ft in length (3 sections) and it is called "Divvia Match". It is mint condition and seems a pretty dated product. Does anyone have any details on this brand? Or this specific rod? I am trying to find out its value. Thanks.

It is, just the font style is unusual haha!

Hi All, I have an Allcocks rod. To be honest, it was passed on to me but I have no use or interest in it. I am after some information with regards to its value. The rod is 12 ft and is a 3 piece. I am not 100% sure but I think it is called "Divvia Match". The rod is in mint condition and comes in its original sleeve. I have looked through Google but cannot find anything, aswell as eBay. I would be very grateful for information you may have. Dale.
