Lingmere Friday

[Steve1]

Couldn`t make the Dee as my mate wanted to go to Lingmere and I have to keep an eye on him.
Fished the pleasure lake on the float a rod length out, with in half an hour i`d had 7 carp all about 10 ins long.
This continued all day with the odd skimmer and roach, had to revert to a 8mm halibut pellet to slow them down..
I think it has just been restocked so in 5 years time it`s going to a good carp water.
Not for me at the moment though

what bait was you using to start with before changing to halibut pellet if you dont mind me aasking?

[Steve1]

Hi Baz
All sorts ,corn, meat, expanded pellets , maggots all only a rod length out feeding micros
hope this helps

Hi Steve,

Article in this weeks angling times, praising Steve Openshawe's exploits on Lingmere, stating he is winning most matches there, what they did not say was that it was his back garden!!!

I phoned Angling Times to speak to Tony Grigoriev who done the article, but he was "Not available"

"He knows it like the back of his hand" so he bloody well should!! still don't agree with him fishing the matches there, but hey that's just my take on the matter.

Hi Dave
Could`t agree more, been saying this for years
Every body goes `s into the match fishing for second place.
The reply you you get is you have try and beat him.
At £20 a pop it`s not for me
