          4mm, 6mm and 8mm I believe. Not sure on the price but I would imagine around the £2.50 mark per bag.

                        Are fisheries that insist you use their pellets taking the mick when they pay peanuts for a sack then make 300% profit on them.

                          3.80 a bag, that’s disgusting!! They are sonu comp ones there aren’t they? If so think it’s about 800g in a bag, still 3 quid a bag would be a more respectable price. I was contemplating taking a visit sometime, but at that price for pellets on top of petrol and ticket price, no chance.

                            i think this is one of the biggest rip offs around £3.80 for a bag of pellets thats £11.40 for 3 & thats about what you need ~naughty

                                They sold red pellets last time i was there called wonder pellets.
                                After the match I said its cos you wonder why you paid that for them !!!

                                  its been a couple of years since i last went to woodland view and the pellets where sonu baits competition pellets we used to buy them from our local shop a lot cheaper

                                    so did everybody!! so woodlands stopped tackle shops selling them, they are only place you can buy the competition pellets needed there now….hence the price!!

                                        I went for my annual visit a couple of years ago, (fisho) and bought 3 bags for £11.40, and 1/2 an hour later this bloke comes up and says ‘your only allowed 2 bags mate’I said you just sold me 3 bags’
                                        I was furious that he didnt have the courtesy to tell me it was a 2 bag limit while i was in the shop buying them!~naughty

                                          Sounds a bit of a rip off joint to me Nigel, surprised that we are supporting them by having a UK’s round booked on there if that is the case.~sick

                                            Simple solution to this…..

                                            just don’t fish there until the prcies come down or the rules are changed.

                                            This is why I hate commercials and don’t fish them, too many rules and you get ripped off, rather stick to my cnal or river fishing thanks.

                                                  I only visit woodland veiw once a year on the annual postal teams of four National, personally I like the fishery, and don’t find it to bad at all, There is a limit on the ammount of pellet you can use, some of the anglers use caster and worm but at £4.00 a pint for caster and worm at £11 half a kilo it’s still cheaper to fish the pellet, angling has never been a cheap sport to compete in, with costs rising nothing will change, I would rather the commercial fishery insist on chargeing me over the odds for fishery pellet than be filled in as a land fill site the following year because they couldn’t meets there overheads. Alternatively I can still go and sit on the canal with bread punch for a day that costs next to nothing and put up with all the dog shit and numerous nutters that roam the towpaths these days due to help in the community projects, one of our postal lads had a women jump on his pole a few weeks ago in a match, the pole was on a set of rollers parralell to the towpath, she exclamed in a drunken slur fishing shouldn’t be allowed as she smashed the pole. The lad she picked on is a very placid angler and a very nice guy and mate to boot, I have only ever see him lose his temper once in forty years of angling, on one occasion only, this was that day.

                                                    I will need you to knock me up some of your top floats for the RM National me old mate!!

                                                      Yes the pellet prices are a rip off but the breakfast takes the pi** go there ask for a breakfast takes nearly £8 off u then tells u you can only have 2 items off a list so u don’t even get a full breakfast …

                                                        Lindholme charge £2 a bag, which works out gram for gram cheaper than most bags in your tackle shop.

                                                        I believe Neil has it about right with this pricing, as its clear hes not out to rip you off. Yeah he will make money from them, but thats business.

                                                        3.80 is a disgrace, and a clear big money maker. I considered a visit, I think I wont bother!!

                                                                      fishing can only be as expensive as you make it, If money is tight then take a sausage sarny and a flask of coffee from home thats what I have to do on occasion.

                                                                      cockney made up some fantastic margin/far bank floats take 3×8 4×8 & 5×8 some are even using them for fishing up in the water, so impressed I am making a load more, the lads collared some sunday, I even ended up diving into my tackle box to get out the 10 I had put aside for myself, still managed to save a few for myself just, even more pleased when the lads who finished first and second overall(Colin Horwood and Alan Dove in the match at puddleduck (66 fished) both used these floats to great effect.If I get a chance i’ll put up a picture.
