I did go there but match fished with my son and got something like over 50 carp (2lbs to 6lbs) on sweet Corn. I had 2 rods on Boilies but didn´t pay much attention to them, and still got 8 fish from (5 to 10lbs).
As stated I'll be going there the 1st, 2nd and 3th December with some of of the the National Team (2006 World Champions) to fish for real and try and find out what fish we set the hook on ...
It is my believe that there are Carp over the 30lbs mark in there ... But no proof of that!!!
The guard told me that his father used to fish there, over 20 years ago, and the biggest fish he caught was a
18,300Kg Carp ...
Anyway, I'll be reporting.
