25-08-08 - A New Challenge Pt1

Abbey lake (aka windmill lake) is a small lake set in the midst of the fenland countryside. Stuffed with many fat 20lb plus carp and hardly ever fished.
Its a dream come true and I had the lake to myself for the next five days.

[TheCarpCatcher]

@boiledboilies throwing sticks are not as accurate imo

Cormorants are warm blooded animals and they hold their wings open to dry their plumage after diving for their food in water.

if you like the cold and are prepared to work hard then the rewards can be there.

The thing about this lake is it aint no gravel pit.

It's completly different to the woolpacks lake #3. Approches that work on lake #3 do not work so well here.

I did two weeks fishing on it and only got to grips with what i had to do to be really succesful on the last day!

Caught some nice fish along the way though:)

How much bait is still a question un-answered on this lake. So far they have eaten everything i have put out for them (use of the boat proved this) little and often is a key method of mine and this approch has lead to many extra fish.

Never had a run from the pellet feeders or saw a carp anywhere near them (someone else had that idea befor me and it is late season now)

is goot to fish for carp in winter mate?
