My 2014 So Far by Asa Duffy

As a full time tackle shop assistant and a father of a young baby, getting on the bank for periods of time can prove quite difficult, so usually my sessions are days or 24hr sessions with the odd 2 or 3 day sessions. I like to make the most out of my time on the bank.

Location


This year I've been concentrating a lot of my fishing on a local weedy lake called the Wingerworth Lido, located in the heart of Derbyshire. Now I'll be the first to admit that Derbyshire isn't renowned for its big head of 30's and 40's, but it does have a lot of waters that are gin clear, therefore the fish are very dark and beautiful to look at. The lake is about 4-5 acre with some stunning looking carp swimming round in it, I like it because it suits my style of fishing I can walk round spot a few fish and hopefully try and snare one or two using some pva bags.

Success on the Lido

Using the solid bag method on this lake has proved deadly as I've had a string of fantastic looking fish, including a fish they call the Italian which is not the biggest resident in the lake but has a very distinctive set of shoulders. As well as the Italian I've caught a string of other fish that are equally as beautiful, and the awesome bit is that hardly anyone fishes for them as the weed seems to put a lot of anglers off fishing it, so the majority of the time I have the lake to myself

As well as catching regularly from the lido I've done a few sessions on day ticket venues at places such as the A1 pits and Sapphire lakes and have had a few fish, so up to yet I've had a fantastic time carp fishing in 2014 and only hope I can keep catching.

Thanks for reading and tight lines
