That one is a true original from the late 80's stocking - probably only about 5 of that very first batch left. The other 'originals' are from the mid and late 90's. Nice one!
Fished there when it was day ticket in the mid eighties. Used to stay on a small campsite right next to it. It's grown up a lot since then. I still had yellow bottle tops and a bag of richworths back then and caught nothing but tench! love your monthly vids mate. No nonsense, proper angling. Beautiful fish too :~)
Ah that’s memories for me. I used to fish the Roach Pit in the 90’s when it was part of Christchurch Angling Club. I sat it out for a month in a very cold winter and caught a 28lb pike. Also used to be the best big tench water in Summer as well.
Closed shop syndicate and a 10year waiting list whats the point of even mentioning that cos u ain't going to be fishing there.nice vid though si 'that's a proper 1'👍 👍
Last knockings, but a great result. Next year you need to get yourself down Ashmead for a few days, Mark's a great host and Shona does some mean food fella.
Yes its a great watch ! But what was the most annoying thing about this video is !!! Another syndicate lake which has waiting list shut ! All local clubs ( ringwood , Christchurch and wimbourne ) are over membershiped. Please do other vidios but please don't say its at a syndicate lake which most off us will never have the chance to even put our name on the list ! The best comment was " you just can't just rock up here and catch them " how to rub salt into a wound !!! And the final straw is what a fantastic lake it looks !!! With stunning fish!!
Sorry bud but my channel is aimed at all areas of the carping spectrum and not just the ‘how to’ niche. I know there are lots of anglers out there who just enjoy watching carp films, wherever they are filmed. It’s free content after all, and plenty of info is available on the net for you to find out where to fish this weekend. All the best 👍
Now this was great as I too fish a lake with the same name not big 7/9 in size with only 35 fish 7 being 35 years plus old and to catch one is special but this lake too can serve many a blank great watch need a longer blog please 🤣🤣👍🏻✌🏻
Hard to catch, big old originals and a stunning venue. That's my kind of fishing. Chuffed for you mate that it came out in the dying hours of the session. Great angling as always 🙌
Just watched it Si. Lovely mate. Good angling. Such a special place. If memory serves me correct it’s the ‘Other Long one’ but someone else may confirm. Proper old one as Roland mentions. 👍🎣
I can remember when you where first starting out with Rob with your bait company Carp Balls Uk back in the day fishing round cheshire you Guys sure done well 👏👏
Fantastic fish that well done! Do avid do a bed chair and sleep system and is it warm and how much is it mate i need one to keep me well warm i have thin blood and get cold
@@SimonCrow theres a few fish Alan has put in and is getting from a breeder called Avon Valley, in 5 to 10 years theyre going go be some of the most sought after fish in England, Great video Si brilliant fish
Nice video mate. Am currently in Guy’s hospital on dialysis so no fishing for me for a while. Thanks for letting me share your fishing trip with you and being able to imagine i was there too
great watch Simon ... Roach pit is a magical place (fished it 3 times myself, no luck yet) but being there was already mega, Alan is a gent to let us Belgian guys fish it (me and a mate) ... well done on that fish mate!!
@@SimonCrow we did not make it this year as Corona made travel not realy great, but hope to get out again next year (spring & autumn trip) fingers crossed, just love it out there and Coops is a long time friend ...
Wow what a result sy one of the originals too the look on your face mate had to be worth it like you said all that time and I could tell you was thinking it wasn't gonna happen then that belta 👏🏻👏🏻 hats off mate.
