carp society/horshoe lake

[ohterry]

hi all, i am toying with the idea of joining the carp society this year, firstly is there any one here already a member, secondly any one fished horseshoe,

 

i would dearly love to give this venue a go this year, i know you have to be a carp society member to fish it.

 

apart from being able to fish horshoe are there any other benefits of joining carp society, i would appreciate any ones views. thanks in advance..terry

There are reallly no benifits to joining the CS apart from if you wish to fish a water they run

[Dick Dastardly]

Totally agree with NM. Horseshoe is a brilliant tench water though.Worth joining for that!

Not forgetting huge Rudd! I think you are being a little harsh on the society though, they do a wonderful job of bringing the kids on with the junior Carp schools and fish'ins.And you get loads of discounts for various places. But to be honest i only become a member every year so i can get on Horseshoe and Redmire!

CS and Redmire now theres a subject I could be realy harsh on :mad: :mad:

Budgie, I think I know were ya coming from there (CS and Redmire) and I tend to agree

[twochay]

I wouldnt say regular, I tend to go there 3 times a year for 5 days. The best advice i can give you is spend plenty of time walking the lake to find the fish, keep mobile and move to the fish if ya see them. I tend to chuck a marker out and find the many bars or weed bed edges and spod out pellet and hemp (Not to much though) I did really well on the enterprise plastic corn last year. Also hallibut pellets work well and any good quality boilie. Do not disregard stalking, i have the majority of my fish walking the banks with a stalking rod and plenty of worms and dog biscuits! (Oh and dont forget your maggots for those hugeeee Rudd!)

As someone who's doesn't know what you mean would you care to share a bit more? Or is it best left unsaid?!

[Dick Dastardly]

Less said the better but the way the CS has managed both theallocation of tickets and more importantly the water it self leaves a lot to be desired.Ah well least they havnt blatently ripped anyone of unlike the previous lease holders :mad: :mad:
