Amazing Week of Fishing
By Dean and Ryan Johnson + Trina and Charlotte on
We've had a fantastic week at Oakview Lake. Shirley and Martin are brilliant hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them. The lodge and it's facilities are 5* and the food was excellent. Amazing week of fishing and both had personal best carp.
Tactics: used a mix of house baits and wafters worked best. Fishing from the right home swim, we caught carp off the right side of the island (under the overhanging trees), right margin and far margin (3ft from the bank). From the left home swim, the carp came from the left side of the island (under the overhang), left margin 6ft off the silver willow and 4ft off the bowl margin.
Rigs: KD rig 6 inch, size 6, long hair with back leads and slackish lines.
Caught 25 carp: 3 x 40s, 15 x 30s, 6 x 20s and 1 x 11lb 8oz grass carp. Feeling relaxed and refreshed (a bit tired after catching all those fish!!!). Thank you for a lovely week.
