Just wondering if anybody had fished at Oasis Lakes in North Somercoats. It sounds like a good fishery and got some nice Carp in there to (up to 38lbs apparently and catfish up to 17lbs). I'm thinking of trying it out this weekend or next week and see if I can catch me a PB worth shouting about /forum/smilies/big_smile_smiley.gif.

if you fish the carp lake you need to be within a couple of pegseither side of the boat house fish a boilie with a small pva bagverytight to thefar bankand your gauranteed to catch, another good peg is at the far end of the lake in the corner with the scaffolding poles at the back of it.dont expect a 38lber though i think thats a bit of a myth mid doublesare the norm.the lake as youdrive into the fishery on the right has some ghost carp in and they are about the same sort of size but i have not fished for them the roadside lakeon the left has smaller carp and bream its the match lake.
p.s watch out for the mossies they have very nasty bites that allways seem to swell up

The last I heard that a bit of fish theft had been suffered down there.
We always fished the roadside lake plenty of under 10's in there.
Too right about the mossies, put our pubclub members off fishing there!!!

Fish, that was from the baliff on the spot,don't know if there has been a restock.
Insect repellant, I use Avon Skin so Soft ,seems to work as the mossies love me,not a repellant, but it seems to have an ingredient that keeps them off.

Didn't see a boat house on Carp Lake but did find the scaffolding posts and they seem like good pegs, the Carp were popping up around there so it might be worth doing a bit of floating rather than ledgering. Spoke to a guy there who said he had a couple of 15lbers and his mate had caught a couple of 25's so that got me quite confident.
