all in all not a very good day

I went for a few hours in the evening this week (Tues) - my first visit. Started on the Home pool at the furthest end as there where a few lads along the dam end who were being a bit noisey. Had been fishing for about 20 mins, some nice fish moving about including a large koi, had a couple of unconnecting takes on floating crust. The bailiff only turns up and tells me that the concrete "pontoon" I was fishing on wasn't an official peg - That would explain the abundance of fish then!

Eventually found myself another quiet corner on another pool, and had a few small doubles (11, 12 & 14lbs).

OK place, but a bit too clinical and well groomed for my liking. Gates were also locked at 8pm which seems a bit early for me, especially when fishing after 4pm still costs £5.

Went again for the afternoon yesterday (Monday) whilst waiting for my membership for ABAC to be processed. Very obvious that the fish were in the mood for love not food, and the only interest in my baits was from ducks and crayfish!
