Ball rolling!!

As this part of the site is a lacking a little in posts I thought I might as well fire some questions at you Ian!!
Firstly, what are the plans for the Car Park and North in the next few years. What I mean is bearing in mind the syndicate is excellent and working really well, do you still have plans to cut through to combine the two lakes? Also is the price going up next year?
Secondly, how are you getting on at Molsham, or is the Split lake going to be pretty much the same as this year?!

Cheers Ian.

Excellent mate, I like the sound of this!!! Glad to hear the price is gonna be the same aswell!!
Are you looking at taking fish out from the North below 20lb, cos if you are, I reckon after the start of next season the majority will be over twenty!! With the odd exception being a few of the commons that were stocked, which hardly come out anyway. I think you'll be surprised at how much weight these fish have stacked on, for example one of the Pad lake stockies that i think you moved over with Scale on the Shoulder, was caught in March at scraper twenty, and the next time it was caught was in October at 29lb 10oz! Another one of the Pad lake stockies has also gone from 22lb in June to 26lb in October, MENTAL!!
A few freebies on the Pad Lake for a social in the Spring sounds wicked as well!
Cheers Ian!

I just gave some photos of the 26 and 29 to Cash so they will be in Carp talk soonish. I am going to try over the next few months to get as many photos of the North lake fish as possible so we know what we are catching. I know for a fact that there are still fish that are probably in the mid to high twenty that have not been caught for well over a year, especially one which I was seeing quite regularly that I only know of one person ever catching! This fish is now a good twenty and pukka at that! A few surprises are going to crop up from that lake in the next year or so.
If anyone has got any photos of the North lake fish could they let me know via E-mail cos I would love to get an idea of the rest of the fish in there other than the ones that regularly come out?

Ian,

Will Gold Cards be available for next season

No, the snakes not still in there, it died a few years ago. Basically there are two, no, three main "players", Baz, and Scale on the shoulder and Crinkle tail now! You've then got two fish that we know are in the high twenty bracket, the pit 10er at 28ish, and a 29 that may be an ex pad lake fish(called this one Jenson!). The pretty fish (27ish), the Big common (25ish) and three Tel's (between high double and low twenty, although none have been caught this year!) are the only other originals left along with Baz.
Other than these their are at a guess about 8 or 9 other twenties, including ex pad lake fish and split lake fish, and there may be even more! And there are a few high double commons and the odd import (from the Blackwater that is!!)
In total I reckon youve got about forty carp! And they are all pukka!
We are only starting to put names to them recently, other than the ones that already had them. I think this is due to the fact that now its a syndicate, its easier to keep a track of whats come out and how big.
