HUNTS CORNER LAKE
Hunts Corner is one of the nicest lakes on the complex. It’s a well matured, secluded gravel pit of just over 9 acres. Limited swims give anglers around one acre of water to play with adding more seclusion to this great mature lake. A carp stock of over 400 fish, weights range from 20lb-30lb and a lake record of 43lb 8oz. Regular stocking is being carried out on Hunts Corner, with further stock in the pipeline.

TOP TIPS WITH TOM MAKER
Reducing Disturbance
Fishing three rods on one spot has proven to be very prolific on Hunts Corner, but when it comes to spodding over the top I like to drop to a large to a medium sized spod to reduce noise and disturbance.
Floaters
The fish in Hunts adore floaters, so if the weather is right make sure you have your surface fishing gear, it really is an essential!
Boilies
I have always found that Hunts is a more predominant boilie water, so my mix consists of 70% boilies and 30% hemp and corn.
Fishing The Far Margin
Most of the pegs give you the opportunity to fish over to the far margin, unlike the other lakes. I have had great results placing little traps under the trees with the use of a baiting pole.
