Hi all.

Seeing as it's the end of the old license soon i thought i'd get one more days fishing on it. I'm going bankend this weekend on the big carp lake, any tips: What pegs for big carp, what baits???

But if possible i would like to find another carp lake in my area that is good as a few of my experiances at Bankend havn't been too pleasant including a couple VERY patronising and slightly insulting visits from the bailif who thought i wasn't taking care of fish i caught(although they are alot better with me now, but the first impression was a bad one).

Thanks alot,
Sam

Tyram Hall is the one near the prison, unless you're on about Millionaire Micks' (Woodhouse Grange).

Lindholme Lakes is near Sandtoft - quite a a bit further out.

I've tried micks before, the lakes fished well but don't like the concrete pegs.
And with tyram hall i've been told to avoid it because it's poor fishing???

At Tyram, there's a Day ticket lake with loads of fish from mid doubles to mid twenties. When it's busy you need to book in advance(apparently).

The syndicate lake is expensive at around ?300 plus a year but it contains some big fish. There'a mirror that came out at 39lb 8oz last year - huge for a Yorkshire fish.

There's a match lake too, but there aren't many carp in there (of any size).

I'd give the day ticket lake a go a couple of times to get a feel for the place, but avoid Easter weekend!

just had a day at bank end. Some good carp showing themselves in the south westerly wind. Had a few small ones biggest about 11lb.
I drove past Tyram Hall on the way home, looking a bit run down and the lake to the left has an island on it now. When I fished there it was one big lake.
I have always been put off with the size of the carp lake at Ranskill whats the fishing like richard.

What peg do you go on at bankend? I usually go 4/5 pegs to the left of the section that leads out to the middle of the lake if you know where i mean (to the left as you are facing the way you would walk up that bit).

Sam, I recommend you avoid Easter weekend because the place is usually packed out.

don't know if you can still fish it but there used to be some good carp in the boat yard length of the south yorks canal in the middle of sheffield.
