***Day Ticket Carp Fishing*** Cromwell Lakes Fishery - Home of the Thirties and forties

Hi guys welcome back to the channel where me and a mate make the long trek up north to Cromwell Lakes Fishery to see if the big girls are bitting

[@davidshaw442]

A positive criticism mate,u turn up all positive regards the session/venue then blank and say I won't be back bcos weed killer maggots etc have fucked the place up and rules etc,maybe it's your angling ability that's the problem- your mate had alovely 30 ...good vid tho👍

[@lachojski2005]

Love watching his vids but I think he’s had a mare with this.anglers catch all the time on there,maybe it was too much pressure with every peg being took up.without knowing 100% what goes in to the lake you can’t just assume because a couple of ppl say so.maybe those couple or few anglers that say maggots have ruined it are strugglig also and needed an excuse.

[@markgray544]

Every time he blanks he blames something else and moans like fuck. Everytime he catches it’s cos he’s awesome and got everything bang on. I enjoy the vids but fuck me take some responsibility

[@mogadog9184]

Cant stand fishermen who make excuses because they blank,going on that he was fishing at the top of his game his rods were perfect,bait perfect etc..you blanked and thats just fishing for sometimes you catch sometimes you dont.

[@deepower5685]

Blanking is a part of fishing mate you think your something special and you think you should catch all the time get real mate

Blanking is apart of carp fishing and of course it cant be helped some times but in those conditions with that moon phase thats the first time iv blanked in 10 years or more and as for me thinking im something special of course iv had over 100 uk 30s and over 20 uk 40s and thats not me being bigheaded thats facts of life and yer i am one of the uks number 1 big fish anglers fact thats why i won east angler of the year 2 years in a row.

Amazing how this place has beautiful fish, Congratulations very good fishing great success. *Hug!!!* 👍🎣🐠😉

[@banklifegarethcompton5714]

Thank you very much:)

[@ifacetimeopps_1247]

Unlucky lad as long as you enjoyed yourself that’s what matters Cromwell is a very hard lake to fish even if the weathers perfect you could go for a week and still catch non you would do well to catch 1 fish it’s the reason it’s called the home of the 30s and 40s me and my dad went for 4 days and got nothing he caught an eel and that was it

[@tbrownhill]

What a real change to have someone be honest about the fishingmmtoo many places willing to take our money when,the fishing is crap

[@zebedeevlogs32]

Great vid G. Better luck next time you done nowt wrong. Your enthusiasm and tips have been helping me a lot...

[@banklifegarethcompton5714]

Thanks buddy good to hear:)

[@blessedhellride1531]

So had there been a more balanced stocking of fish, silvers as well as carp, the lake would be healthier due to them cleaning up any excess bait? Carp biased lakes and rules seem to be more an issue these days. I've fished for 35yrs now and as carp has become more popular the issues have become greater

[@spen4leeds]

this is a big fish water, wont be a easy lake, small traps, spread your bait out, i have always tripped my biggest catches up with tiny traps, yellow wafter with 10 pieces of corn, tiger nut with half a dozen around it, i never fill it in, once its in you carnt take it out, start small

[@JediCarper]

I done 3 nights from 11th-14th and blanked infact the whole lake blanked, was gutted but what you said makes sence, and i do believe 3 fish have died since so not good

[@banklifegarethcompton5714]

That place used to fish its nuts of years ago these days from what i hear your lucky to get a bit in a 3 day session

[@JediCarper]

@@banklifegarethcompton5714 yeah its a shame really, lots of decent waters are getting like this now, good work on the vlogs hope i can be as popular as you oneday

Hi Gareth, shame about the fishery I have to agree about maggots destroy fisheries! Real shame about Cromwell as looks a really nice place, onwards and upwards, plenty places to visit . Good luck where ever you go next all best LJ. 🍷

[@banklifegarethcompton5714]

yep Leanne thats right time to get after them big girls now:)

[@ItsOnlyCarpingChris]

Not what you wanted but a good laugh with your mate. TBF a night out in town would probably cost yah more. And probably wouldn't be as fun??? Good honest vlog fella.

[@banklifegarethcompton5714]

Thanks Brian mate and your right carp will be carp:)

[@xkdogLIVE]

Get yourself down to broadlands lakes in Hampshire. Great set up and good stock of carp!

[@banklifegarethcompton5714]

[@camodickbarton3123]

Good honest view on the lake I was going to fish there but I dont think I will bother now 👍👍

[@banklifegarethcompton5714]

[@cotswoldcarpfreak4677]

Get down to Orchid Lake 50 x 30s at least fishes in winter .

[@banklifegarethcompton5714]

yes mate thanks i might have ago next year at some point:)

[@garythwilliams101]

just made a boring friday interesting loving these day ticket series👍👊

[@banklifegarethcompton5714]

Thanks bud

[@spen4leeds]

where are you getting your evidence from about putting maggots in a carp water, fantastic winter bait, castors as well, carp love them, maggots are 90% water, will cause no harm what so ever, been part of the food chain for ever, its fish shit that you can smell, fisheries need liming to de silt

[@TheTimbo07]

im getting my perineum pierced whilst watching this

[@banklifegarethcompton5714]

OMG lol

[@DavidJones-kf6ny]

Good vid and a nice big girl :-) yeah I agree with the maggots I seen so many lakes destroyed by over use of maggot in the past and then it takes years for them to recover. Tight lines and always good to have mates on the bank :-)

Good vid mate and fair play to you for coming up north coz alot don't 👍

[@liphookcarper5390]

Hi Gareth TOTALLY TOTALLY agree ref maggots, weed, & leaving time...Any chemical in lakes will effect it in some way 100%..The wriggle stinkers should be banned completely..Boilies far more nutrional & carp will put weight on,also weed & naturals brilliant combination for growth & weight..Look forward to Linear vlog..A good honest review WELL DONE FELLA....

[@crabbtrixexp]

whilst i don't know about amonia and its effect on fisheries and weed growth etc, i think we need to find scientific evidence before jumping to a full conclusion. They are however highly nutritious, a great source of protein and calcium as well, i really don't think carp eating them will become malnourished or unhealthy, unlike boilies they are very similar to some of the foods carp would find naturally, unlike.

[@banklifegarethcompton5714]

Thanks mate very true bang on bud:)

[@banklifegarethcompton5714]

@@crabbtrixexp i no for 100 percent facts its destroyed the botton of swan lake for sure and i know that linear had a big fish kill of nearly 500 carp allmost certainly from maggots to and your wrong maggots have no nutritional value for carp and it does make them lose lots of wait but im not talking about a few pints here and there of couse im talking about the 200 gallons a week that were going in

[@crabbtrixexp]

Bank Life Gareth Compton in terms of macro nutrients maggots are 35% protein, i personally don’t see how something with that level of protein can cause malnourishment. I would expect an insect grub to have quite a high nutrient content. I honestly have no idea what effect large amounts of maggots have on the lake bed. I did a quick google search on the topic and couldn’t really find anything about it. If your suggestions are true of course fisheries would do well to ban them, but I haven’t found or heard any concrete science on the subject, but I’m not really in touch with exactly what’s going on in the domaine of fisheries these days. Sometimes in the angling world false ideas spread like wildfire with no real factual evidence to back them up, like the idea that fish get high on hemp. I understand your putting this out there out of concern for fish and fisheries, but I’m not entirely sure it’s true, that is only my opinion, I’m certainly no expert on the subject. It would be interesting to know if there’s any evidence or informed opinion from someone like Simon Scott or another fishery manager or farmer. sorry if it seems I’m being critical, of a really good angling blog.

[@banklifegarethcompton5714]

@@crabbtrixexp Its all good bud i like to talk about these things high of hemp lol its is true that maggots do have a level of protein in them but a maggots also 80 percent water and carp pass them so quick with out taking the water bassed protein in thats why there good in cold winter in one end out the next
