@@Lozzman7575 if you don’t like fishing and really want your own lake then yes absolutely it is! I agree the uk is a joke

@@FrigginMossies I own the land I built the lake on so really it’s not been as bad as some. I’ve also done all the work apart from the dig myself. It’s not been cheap but it’s something I’m glad I did. Who doesn’t want a lake in their back garden 👍🏻

Yes mate. It’s that time of year now 😞

Yeah only a quick one mate. It’s slow there right now but may pick up if this weather steadys abit. Word of warning the banks are really wet right now too

Ahh I don't mind it being wet mate to be honest , and prefer the challenging conditions 😂

When is it open to fish

Hi I’ll be making a video soon with an update on progress

This isn’t my venue. It’s a venue im currently doing a winter campaign on

@SouthWestCarpHunter I meant in your pond. I just thought to comment on your most recent video, so you're more likely to reply.

Ah I see. Yes I have perch in my own lake now. I stocked 300 last winter

@SouthWestCarpHunter oh nice, what about zander they can get up to 20 pounds, and they want to eat the carp, unlike pike but there grate winter fish but you consider the air stone for the pond for the better water quality them carp will grow massive 😂

@@Danny-outside not as yet but I expect I will when I come to do my end of year progress for the lake

I already owned it

I’ll keep working my normal 9-5 when I open up. Hayley will be around during the day to do the day to day running of the fishery along with family. Though I will be about most days and evenings. There will be six swims on the complex once it’s open and will have a maximum of 4 anglers on per 24hr. If a lake exclusive is booked you can have up to 6 per 24hr

My fish don’t suffer. They are putting on a minimum of 5lb a year. The more light and air exposure the better the fish grow. The higher the water temperature the better they go. That’s how it works. Carp are cold blooded so really on water temperature to grow. I did a video on why I don’t surround my fishery with trees. I suggest you watch it and the explanation will become clear

Still growing up

Correct. Full of tanic acid those types of leaves

I used 10mm krill Boilies as freebies. Solid bag containing 4mm pellet and a 12mm wafter. Oil used is salmon oil

I try and get her to get one done 😂

It’s really nice there but the weed is getting abit boarderline at the mo without raking some swims

I didn’t see anyone there unfortunately but its in my to do list. Last thing I want at my place is guys like that. His attitude was appalling to when I called him out on the fishery rules. Safe to say he will not be attending my place ever 😂

Thanks I’m on year 3 now and the difference is unbelievable

Yes it’s certainly not a cheap to start up

Still not open yet

@SouthWest Carp Hunter I thought u was going with the syndicate route ? ...is there spaces then if so ? ...looks good mate doing a top job

Nice. I had the superstar 360 a few years back. Great radio. Now cb is all done online. Midland brought out an app called cb talk. There’s a group of use county wide using it. Really good fun. They even do a Bluetooth mic for it for driving. It’s brilliant

No worries. It’s full of carp so you shouldn’t have much problem locating fish in any swim you choose. They are fairly pressured all the time there due to how busy it gets so they do move around a fair bit. Along the dam wall is where the deeper water is located though I think this time of year your find them in shallower areas trying to get the temperature into themselves. Don’t ignore the swims that look less favourable, these can be real hotspots on these types of waters. All manner of bait will catch you fish there. They pretty much live off it due to the amount of carp present. It can be tricky at times in there but with a solid bag you won’t go far wrong. Hope this helps

Wheels are in motion for the carpark and toilet now mate. Soon as it’s done I’m organising a few social weekends here during the year so I’ll get you on one of those 👍🏻

Sounds good 👍 👌
