The fact that you’ve stopped going abroad on holiday just because of your dog 🐕 speaks volumes to who you are as a person Mike 🫶🏻 lovely watch with some mega carp 👊🏻
They're family mate aren't they, not sure how many years he's got left in the tank mate. Until that point mate he's by my side, the only other person he'll stay with if my son if and when I'm fishing. :)
Another stunner Mike,thanks for telling me about this video in your reply to my post in Nothing lives forever.....I'm so so pleased your little feller went with you....he had the best time. Long live the Carp dogs.
A lovely watch Mike. Looked like an amazing trip. Great to see you enjoying some time on the bank with you. Some amazing fish and great memories made I'm sure 👌
That video brought back many happy memories as I lived in nearby Tiverton and fished Millhayes quite a bit when it first opened in the 1990's, long before the lodges were built. At that time it was stocked with lots of single figure carp that fought like mad, with the occasional scraper double. Multiple catches were the norm - I was just getting into carping then and enjoyed many days there catching up to 20 fish from about 4ln upwards, often fishing right in the margins. Lovely to see how it has developed into a specimen lake and matured so well.
Fantastic looking venue and lovely fish, perfect for a family holiday everyone gets time together with each other and of course you get your bit of fishing time, love this.
Another great video. My late wife and I would only ever holiday in this country so we could take the dogs we had over the years and I could take my carp gear, never came across this venue unfortunately,, it looks great. Cherish your dog cos you'll miss him big time when he's gone. Look forward to another family fishing holiday video
Cheers Clive, glad you enjoyed it mate. Yes sadly I know my time with him is not unlimited but like the rest of his 18 old years I've given him the best of times. He's my best mate, like you know mate they're family. Take care Clive, all the best, Mike.
As a dog trainer and consultant you nearly had me in tears regarding your best friend / dog. In the last two years we have gone from having two GSD to zero, having lost them both to old age. Karma to you good man.
So sorry to hear that Graham, it's so hard losing them as they're like family mate aren't they. Time heals mate it a little as you know. Take care, Mike.
Absolutely loved this Mike, capturing real life, without all the over production and editing is so refreshing and watchable. Looks like you and the family (and the dog) had the best week. Kudos mate🤘🏻
Cheers Chris, glad it's watchable mate. It's my honest account of a wonderful week. It wasn't a freebie, I was a paying customer like anyone else and I've booked again already :)
What a brilliant video, well done Mike again! Beautiful place, beautiful fish and quality family time, I'm sure there was some happy memories made that week! 👌
Glad you enjoyed mate, it was a great week. The old licking of the clips are not needed I've found mate on the ESP clips, the rubber sleeves are so much softer than most others that they eject perfectly when needed and only when needed. :) also after using the same clip for months the sleeves also get looser and looser, thats why I like the ESP clips also.
cracking lake did a week there in april, tosh weather but had a skinful of beers in the local and caught some lovely ones to 40, mainly fished the dam end but in the end bushwackered one rod behind the island closest swim to the float lake and had the vast majority of fish from there seems most ignore it as i did myself for the first few days as v shallow. but there always up for a feed down there and even all throughout the day! cracking spot tho absolute dreamy !
At age coming up 66 and sharing my life with dogs since a child I totally get where you're coming from. Over the years I've turned down tickets due to no dogs policy.
Dogs are family mate aren't they, he struggles when I'm not around mate now. I guess its like looking after an elderly family member. I'll never let him down, he's given me so much joy over the years so I owe it to him to make sure he's a happy as can ever be. :)
WoW awsome video Mike🎣 and some mega carp in that lake, That place looks fantastic for a break the fish are mega an its picturest pubs scenery.. also 18 is a fantastic age for a dog, what breed is he? love that float fishing lake also hardly see crucians. how much was this place? can take my dog also🐕
Yes Adam it was wonderful, it has everything, including loads of crucians which I loved. He's a jack Russell believe it or not, he's built of the good stuff it seems. The price varies mate based on the time you wish to go but drop them a line and they'll certainly let you know. Totally Dog friendly too :)
Ahh really? Like I say I'd forgot my scales so was guessing really, great to hear mate. All the best and yes it's a wonderful lake indeed. We loved it!
Hi Jake, varies mate based on the time of the year, when you break it up between 6 is miles cheaper than a package french commercial holiday, that I do know mate. Drop them a line and Tom or Jez will let you know the cost based on dates available. cheers
Mike with you slip D, you mentioned it being around 9 inches but do you ever lengthen this for fishing in silt. Any guidelines for this or do you just use a lighter lead or something? Thanks

Hi Jake, varies mate based on the time of the year, when you break it up between 6 is miles cheaper than a package french commercial holiday, that I do know mate. Drop them a line and Tom or Jez will let you know the cost based on dates available. cheers
Mike with you slip D, you mentioned it being around 9 inches but do you ever lengthen this for fishing in silt. Any guidelines for this or do you just use a lighter lead or something?
Thanks
Hi Mate, If I fish in silt I'll lengthen a little and use a little 2oz lead. all the best
Yes make more
I'll try :)
