holly farm aint no carp venue

. Its an insult to call them tiddlers carp

. And the pellets are shite, not even my fish would touch them

#3

Told ya I'd give one of the matches a go when the diary allowed...........

You must have forgot that I voiced an 'interest' in this when it was first posted a few months ago

Tell me more ME - I like the mention of tiddlers - will I get away with all of the 1lb bottom rigs I've got tied up

me · #4

the perch in the KP are monsters compared to Holly's. If you don't want to get your keep nets wet don't worry as Holly's fish are quite fine in a 1 pint bait tub

#5

Does this mean you won't be attending Si :(

#6

I dont know why you are so critical Si.

They do a nice breakfast
Toilets so Gem doesnt have to spend time seaching for a quiet spot.
A free ride to your peg ( Saves Simple have to carry two lots of gear to the lake.

The pellets are geat... for putting in the mouse traps as bait, I had 12 in a week using them. Good job the mice like them cos the carp dont :(

I really enjoyed spending 5 hours driving 300 miles to fish for tiddlers for 5 hours.

:(

#7

There is certainly a theme about tidlers in this thread........sounds like my sort of venue

#8

Tony you will love it there. Shallow on the caster or meat

But you might need to come upto 0.13 - 0.15 and size 16 or 18 hook.

Think you can handle that

There's alot of ghosties in there that give you a good scrap. Even black hydro was taking its time bringing them in. I will be on something else next time

I agree with everyone. The feed pellets are shite but the brekkies are top notch

Will be a good day out again.
Sprucey, Conna, Tinky get your names down

if thats a good brekie then you aint had a good brekie yet.
Asda as good toilets but is as crap as holly for fishing
were do you get this free ride to your peg from? wasnt that larfords ???
not even mice are daft enough to go near them pellets
A hour and half is to much to travel there never mind 5 hrs.

Simple i aint even thought yet if im goingt to fish it or not. Im waiting for the jinx dates first.

#10

ME - you could give a guy a complex. You seem to fish every MD match going then when I put my name down for one you boycott it.....

You avoiding me

#11

were do you get this free ride to your peg from? wasnt that larfords ???

Larford!!!! As if they would give you anything for free.

they charge £1 each way but you have to wait at your peg for over an hour at the end of the match cos they wont collect you until they have finished weighing in

)

They have a buggy at Holly farm and will take you to the peg and bring you back free of charge if you ask nicely.

TK you said tiddlers ( plural) You may not catch more than one,just ask Si.

Personally I prefer to fish venues that are more even and give you the opportunity to compete with a variety of methods. A lot of the waters down here have proper carp and you can do well using long pole ( up in the water and on the deck) Margins pole with paste pellet etc , pellet wag, bagging wag, method, straight feeder.

Also very few insist on ripping you off by making you buy their pellet. This seems to be a midlands thing and most of the time its pellet you can buy much much cheaper from other sources.

Why dont you come down here and Ill show you some proper fishing, but you will have to leave the black hydro at home and bring some red with you

Holly is a lovely venue as a pleasure venue, with its nicely mowed grass and pritty trees and plant and gravel carpark, but as a match venue ............

.................... it just simply upto it

#13

Simply do not buy their pellets. I know I won't be

#14

But us poor pensioners cant afford 6 pints of caster on top of 10 gallons of petrol.

. Makes it a £100 day

Yeah your sooooooooo poor. I feel very sorry for you. Sell the tickets for the cruise you just booked and maybe you could afford the petrol money lol

me · #16

ss dtf as got to save his pennies to pay you for fixing my pc after he infected it

#17

Sell the tickets for the cruise you just booked

Thats why Im poor, Ive even had to send the wife out to work this week so we can afford a breakfast at Gatwick Airport.

Now lets think what we want to do.

1) a cruise in the Caribbean 28 to 30 Deg C every day, while you lot freeze your wotsits off.
Or
2) 5 hours sat on Gils lake at Holly Farm.

I think Im going to need some help deciding as its very difficult choosing between them.

#18

So you wont be going then Dave. £200 + to format Si's PC btw

#19

Take it out of your match winnings.

If there is enough

#20

I fish for fun, not money

Otherwise I would be driving a Bentley or Rolls Royce wouldn't I
