its very hit an miss m8 it has got a few big carp in (an big could mean 6-15lb) and some stockies plus roach an ide an a few skimmers here an there. he redug it about 2 year ago an made a right mess with the ledges an stuff. if i was fishing it i would start on pellet to the island look for around 2ft its all over the show so try an find a flat spot then id fish white maggot in the middle an just loosefeed this with magi all the time an look to catch roach an ide on this. if u dont get bites on the pellet within 20 mins there prob aint no carp to be had but u can do 20 – 40lb of silvers if they feed. just take it easy early an see how it goes. anythin from 20lb to 50lb could win but id think more like 30lb bein a good weight. nothing like it used to be. feed no much than a fruit shoot amount of pellets thou or ur bites will dry up fast
