Cheers Jamie, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the feedback. Part 2 will be a little different ;)

It's a bloody nightmare isn't it! All good fun tho hey Rich :)

Hello James, thats very kind feedback mate. Glad you enjoyed it. Sorry about the edge getting out the bag, think of it as others are pre baiting for you. ;) Best of luck for 2024 mate

Ahhh lovely mate, yes it's a great place and clearly one with plenty of history.

Same here Paul, over the years some very strange things have happened!

@CymruCelt01 I've seen spirit form glowing coming to the bank through the trees my nephew and dog saw it ,heard footsteps voices and the last time I saw and heard at first i thought was that a hell hound I heard it like a horse galloping for 5mins as it got closer with a rustling sound mixed in with sound of hooves no animals can move and run through a 6ft otter fence and on grass there should be no sound of a horse on cobblestone my dogs were on my bedchair looking at me never saw it and this black cloud 4 to 5ft long shot past the bivvy through the trees 20yrds in 2 to 3 seconds thankfully i just baited up and was standing behind my rods when it shot past behind me.Ive been around the paranormal all my life mediums too researched since I was 8 and done ove 630 paranormal investigations i thought I had seen most things but that day was mad and i was worried for my dogs on the night.

lol @CymruCelt01

@CymruCelt01 mine was after years of investigating it's real and no tramadol too or anything else.

It's a club lake mate, tickets go on sale in June yearly and they're limited to a certain number, but certainly accessible.

@@BaitworksTV I think it was Carl who has also done a vid there said the local council stopped fishing there. Maybe someone told him that. Maybe he felt obliged to protect what the locals have got without getting over-run. I remember feeling a bit saddened by that, thinking no more fishing, more for the locals than anything. A good angling club as you know is a blessing, a good thing, helping police a water, clearing away litter, that sort of thing. As a boy living on the Welsh border, my mums family side Williams, dad still living in Wales, mum buried there, spending every summer holiday there, fishing my first fishing match in Wales, I have a natural affinity for the beauty of the country and the fishing I have enjoyed there since a boy. For sure it was a place which for me was on my bucket list to visit, along with Redmire Pool, one I have ticked off. Thank you for putting me right. I am happy to know that local anglers still have their precious venue to enjoy, and long may that continue. It was brilliant that you enjoyed the unique setting every bit as much as your well deserved success there.

AHHHH Pete why did I not think of that,,,,,, I hate a hole also! Great tip!

Nice one Vinnie, glad you enjoyed it mate. All the best

Yes mate it's a wonderful location.

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it.

Cheers mate, yes it was crazy times once I found the honey pot :)

hahaha that made be laugh! At least I'm not alone in this world of longer second toes! lol

Indeed Don, they had a little chilled area off that wind for sure mate :)

Thanks mate, hope you caught? Well done for keeping at in the winter :)

Blimey! Glad you both enjoyed it mate!

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed. thanks for the kind feedback.

cheers Lee

Crazy Clive, the water temps may something to do with it as the carps senses are certainly dulled in the winter, but the others just don't really flinch, very surprising!

@@BaitworksTV 👍 my senses get dulled in the cold lol. You'll have to do it again once the water temperatures warm up

hahaha cheers Joey, got lucky mate.

Pleasure mate, thank you for the kind feedback.

Indeed! Crazy to think what that place has seen over the years!

@@BaitworksTV imagine how many were slaughtered there frightening ain't it , a bit daunting at night 😬👍🎣

cheers Matt, yes a crazy place to fish indeed.

cheers mate, we certainly got very lucky!

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it.

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed. Yes the Castle carp are incredible.

cheers Pete, glad you enjoyed it mate

It's a club water (open access) and they have a separate night syndicate. cheers

Hi Bill if you search on amazon for - Rechargeable Head Torches LED Super Bright XHP70 Hard Hat Light 20000Lumens with Battery. Its a brilliant bit of kit, ideal for lamping canals etc at night also.

@@BaitworksTV thanks a lot mate, great video as always 👍🏻

Hi Mate, I hear you. I don't use a drone for fishing, I'd caught most of the fish before I even got the drone out the car. I just wanted to capture some high castle shots for the film, sadly films certainly benefit from drone footage in todays day and age. But I'm totally with you on the general use of them on lakes up and down the country. However we all know they're here to stay, so it has to be up to the fishery mangers to police it as best they can it seems. Similar to bait boats, in the wrong hands they can cause issues. But I think I'd rather have someones drone overhead than someone casting out a christmas pudding (round ball echo sounder) into the lake on bite time lol

@@BaitworksTV I know you don’t use a drone for fishing mate, I’ve listened to your podcasts with Mark and I’m confident in saying we’re all singing from the same hymn book. I think we need to encourage fishery owners to ban drones! A passion for angling is the greatest film ever made …….. there’s no drones in it!

I agree but sadly I feel the horse may have bolted mate, the challenge is how do you stop a drone from two fields away? It's painful, we're certainly on the same sheet but technology has gathered a very fast pace in angling and drones, underwater cameras, deepers, bait boats, bait boat echos etc are here for good now I'd say. It has to be down to lake owners as you say to apply rules, however as a day ticket that may be focussed on revenue they'll certainly not want to restrict customers who want to use any of the above?@@Niiiiiiiiiii

They can have any rules they like on the day ticket waters , I won’t be there anyway😂 That horse may have truly bolted I agree, but what worries me is: Where does it all end? Chipped carp you can find on a mobile app? We’ll learn to adapt I guess. Take it easy mate and be good not lucky!

Sadly mate I know of fisheries with chipped carp, so say for security! I can see it coming, pay for a day ticket or you can pay for the premium day ticket that allows you to track the chipped carp on GPS locator! lol - same to you mate, all the best@@Niiiiiiiiiii

Horrible isn't it! lol glad you enjoyed the video tho John, appreciate the kind feeback mate.
