Static Caravan Park Sussex

During the long cold winter Matt and I came up with a plan to catch one of Oak Ponds large carp that very, very rarely make it to a landing net.
The weekend of 26th March was decided upon.
Features were found, pre-baiting carried out and the traps were set.
Predicatable it was the Tench that showed up for dinner first, with Matt bagging a couple 6lb fish in the first few hours. I then wieghed in with a small but perfectly formed 4lb Tench, then fairly well into the night I banked a new Personal Best Tench at 7lb.
Then at 1.15am the line melted off my left hand rod, the one on our baited area. Immediately I knew this was no Tench!
After relatively short scrap the monster was in the net.
Not only was it a new best UK Carp for me but also a new lake record at 26 1/4lb.

All thing considered a pretty good session

At last a sunny warm day for the annual park BBQ. Over fifty owners gathered beside Oak pond and enjoyed a good old chat, some half decent food and a couple of drinks on what turned out to be a truly lovely summers day.

As is usual with Tench fishing the alarm went off at an unearthly hour to get lines in at first light.(ish)

With mist rolling over the lake we set up in “Big Bay” and “Gate” swims. Big Bay had been the killer Tench swim for the past 3 weeks but had started to slow down a bit so I plumped for the little fished Gate swim.

Sure enough I was the first to put a fish on the bank with a mint 4lb female. It just got better from there with a 3 1/2lb and a 5lb before Damion landed a beautiful 5 1/2Lb female. After another two Tench out of gate, Damion waded in with a 6 1/2 monster.

Not to be out done I landed a new PB at 6lb and the just as we were about thinking of packing up my left rod screamed off and after some serious hit and hold fishing to keep it out of the trees on one side of the swim and lilies on the other I banked another PB at 6 3/4 LB.

Fantastic days Fishing

Kingfisher pond has undergone a transformation to create a unique fishing environment that will be stocked with Crucian Carp, Tench, Roach and Rudd. (more…)

Of ponds we have three
They’re a pleasure to see
With pond life you’ve ne’er seen the like
If you do but search
You’ll find Tench, Carp and Perch
And even some large fearsome Pike!
