FAVOURITE FEEDER VENUES<br />
WHERE TO<br />
FISH<br />
EARLSWOOD LAKES<br />
SOLIHULL, WEST MIDLANDS<br />

The Carp Lake once held the UK<br />
match recod but now is all about<br />
catching big fish, and I mean big!<br />
You’ll be unlucky to catch a fish under<br />
10lb! In fact, I’d say that they are the<br />
hardest-fighting carp I’ve ever caught.<br />
With plenty of open water to go at,<br />
the Method or Hybrid feeder with big<br />
baits is very much the order of the day.<br />
In winter, I would change this to a more<br />
cautious approach with a bomb.<br />
There’s also a big head of bream in the<br />
lake that respond to cage feeder tactics<br />
with maggots or pellets.<br />
FAVOURITE PEGS: I’d always try to<br />
get on pegs 21 to 26 or 73 to 78 for<br />
guaranteed action in summer.<br />
BODDINGTON RESERVOIR<br />
BYFIELD, NORTHANTS<br />

Big carp from a big water – what<br />
could be more exciting? ‘Boddy’<br />
is now an out-and-out big carp<br />
match and pleasure water with fish to<br />
15lb not uncommon, and I love fishing<br />
matches here in summer or winter.<br />
Distance casting is a must on the<br />
Hybrid or Method feeder or bomb, and<br />
chocolate orange Wafters are very much<br />
the bait of the moment.<br />
FAVOURITE PEGS: High numbers from<br />
peg 80 onwards are very consistent, as<br />
is the middle of the dam wall.<br />
