Catch Report
"My boys had 52 carp"
"Fished main lake with my boys had 52 carp in a day, most were 6lb-10lb."
"So easy to catch"
"Very big fishery, we ended up on Main Lake last week, it is so easy to catch here it's ridiculous
as soon as we cast one rod in set it up the other rod all ready in the bite alarm would be screaming,
we got there at 6am left at 8pm, between my son and I on day ticket caught well in excess of 50 plus
carp, from 8-13lb nice looking looked after fish.
If you are looking for nothing big but want lots of action this place is a must, there is the speci lake
for the more professional carp angler and talking to a few on their at our visit they said had few out
biggest being 27lb."
