lathom 24/5

[daveb]

first time at the fishery for me so didnt really know what to expect, so £5 in the envelope and into the safe!(never done that before) set up on the speci lake ,first peg from the carpark.
the wind was howling so thought it best not to fish to far out,9m out found 6' of water,and 3' tight as possible to the reeds on my left,fed a few 3mm and corn in both swims swaping between the both on the hook,due to the wind presentation was hard but started to get plenty of bites on corn and 6mm halibut pellet,carp to around 4lb, good roach,small tench,skimmers,and every other fish a barbel! up to 1.5lb,looking forward to going back when the weathers a bit kinder,at least it stayed dry!!

nice one mate. the only problem i have with lathom is how open it is you just can't escape that wind.

I havent been there for about 8 years when there was only one lake,I often call in when going past last time there was three lakes has he dug any more,the only thing that puts me off is it get very busy of a weekend.

me and daz were the first there,during the morning 6 other anglers arrived and all went on the lake in the left hand corner(dont know the number) local knowledge i think
there is 4 lakes and all looked open,we were going to try one of the other lakes,but it was one of those days when you could see big fish moving and i was convinced the next bite was the "biggie" it does look like it gets busy at the w/end,will try it again some time midweek

i was there last bank holiday and he had just opened lake no4 on the left of the car park. i gave it a try for the last half hour and had barble, orfe and ghost carp but they were all small. might give it a better try next time. but i am the same i get on the specimen lake and wait for a biggun.

the big lake with the island is a good water, you can bag up on tench & stockies there on pellet.
