LADYWOOD BIG LAKE

Ladywood’s Big Lake is fast becoming one of the best day tickets in the country, let alone the north of England. The lake holds over 500 carp with around 120 over the twenty-pound mark, over 43 different thirties and even five over forty-pounds! It isn’t a push over, the vast depths and fast turnover of anglers make it tricky, but if you get your tactics right, big hits of fish are possible!

TOP TIPS

Solid Bags
Bags of pellets and crushed boilies tend to score very well on this venue, especially if you are looking for a quick bite. Make sure you dip them in Hemp Oil to extend the melt time in the deep water!

Ellipse Pellets
The fish in Ladywood have been raised on pellets, they love nothing more than eating their way through a pile of high oil pellets. Ellipse Pellets fit the bill perfectly, plus, their flat shape ensures they don’t roll away from your spot.

Bright & Fruity
It seems that the fish in Ladywood have a sweet tooth when it comes to hookbaits, fruity baits, such as Signature pop-ups and wafters vastly outscore more savoury and fishy flavours.

Cast to Showing Fish
Ladywood carp love to show themselves, it is well worth casting a single hookbait or bag towards the fish. This can often produce instant results.

Manilla
Over the years Ladywood has become a very nut bait dominated water, and so Manilla is one of the best boilies to use. Stick to the smaller sizes in the range and try using them chopped up to ensure they don’t roll down any of the steep shelves.
