MARSH FARM.

[Chris Plumb]

Yes a pretty good day three Crucians five Tench a couple of Perch and a shedload of small Rudd.Actually this is the first time in all my visits to Marsh Farm that i have caught species other than Crucians and Tench, all on 6ml flavoured expander pellets.

 

How big were the Crus - were you on Richardson or Harris?

Hello Steve,

 

Steve, if you want to 'see rules' don't ever go to the 'Angel Of The North' fishery located on the south side of Gateshead - Tyne & Wear, very near the 'Angel of The North' totem it is. You've 'got to get them' to open the gate, this is done remotely via the office further down the site. Then, there's a partial CCTV system in operation; you've GOT to use their pellets & stuff, there's a 'no lifting out' rule in operation, even for tiddlers; landing nets only & if you give them any back chat, 'out you go bloody quick 'with no refund'. I'm told that they hope to have the machine gun towers erected before the season is over.

Mind you, & in all fairness, the fishing is first class!

 

Back to your mention. I always thought the unwritten rule was, in terms of fishing time. 'dawn to dusk'. You're right to be annoyed re. being chucked-out at 5.30pm, a bit early is that at this time of the year. You're like me, you try to avoid the 'busy times', common sense if nothng else.

 

Better luck next time, somewhere else perhaps.

The rules have recently changed as I as a non memeber used to have to stop fishing at 5.30 although my son could continue to 7pm as a junior member The original rule was because both you and me (as a guest) had to use supplied nets to protect the water and the shop closed at 5.30. Now you can use your own net if the shop deems it dry and fish to 7.00pm
