Boat Pool Carpin'

[JamesL]

Hi all

I am a new member of the syndicate and looking to catch my first grassie. Has anyone out there that fishes the venue got any tips on the best spots and methods.

Any help much appreciated and look forward to meeting you all down there

dunno how you would target them mate, have caught one already this year but only on standard carp gear.
best person to speak to is Del when your down there next as he specifically targets them on the church lake, so if you tone things down i am sure you can have a few.

The best way to target them is floaters. They do get caught on the bottom, and they do seem to like a hemp/corn combo, so that may be wirth a try. The best way though would be to wait for the right conditions and get the floaters out!

[JamesL]

Thanks for the help guys, although with the weather like it is at the moment we might be swimming with them!

JamesL,

I had them taking floaters a few times, but only ever managed to nick one of 10lbs, mind you I am not the calmest of floater fisherman - LOL

[andy_w21uk]

lol, i had mine off the point on whisky, 2 rod lengths out,
but have seen them on the top towards the lodge.
must be quite a few off them from what i saw.

I nearly caught one from the CHurch lake once too (record?), but without going into too much detail, someone messed it up for me.

[JamesL]

Does anyone know how big the grassies go in the boat pool?

[Garth]

Mid 20's mate, maybe bigger this year!

[andy_w21uk]

i would agree, mine was 13 ish and have seen lot bigger ones, barring in mind the ammount of food going in maybe next year or year after could do a 30 but would say about 25 ish as garth said.
