Coach Justin at Pads Lake ( Yatley )posted on 7 October 2008 | posted in Articles / NewsThanks for the photos Jake ![]() The Photos are from our fishing trip September 2008 Pads Lake ( Yatley ) After a early start meeting up at matt and Gary we had a nice slow drive down to Yatley Once we Arrived we meet up with Colin , Jake and Carl from Steamer baits which was good to put names to faces ![]() ![]() at this time we was waiting for two more guys to come which got a bit lost on the way , so Myself , matty and Gary had a walk around the pads lake to see what pegs we wanted to fish About 15 mins later the other two turn up , so we drawed for pegs I think I had number 3 , so Picked peg 13 next to the pads Heres a veiw of my peg ![]() ![]() Fishing was really hard going and didnt help with the amount of weed that was in the lake , it was a case of trying to find a clear patch ( Not many) Looking back at it , I wished I raked a bit out on my swim. Heres the catch report from Colin "I Had a 28.5 from pole swim, I lost two other fish from there and a 23 pounder stalking in peg 6, Carl had a couple of doubles biggest under 19 pound and one about 8 pound from peg 2, Jake had a couple of small doubles plus a 29 pound 10 ounce fish from peg three, Carl and Jake had their runs from margin areas but Jake did lose one from middle". I lost about 5 fish all week and ended up with a couple 27 lb 10 The Photo in the above post and a 28lb 12 ![]() Plus had a 6lb Bream All my fish was caught on Steamer Baits Strawberry and Cream ( Very Good) plus had both of them from the small gap in Centre of the Pads I was getting feed up of the birds taking my baits every 5 mins and even taking my baits of my hair every time Great place to Fish , but I would say 4 Max on the lake next tme and I think the Owners really do need to work on the lake a bit more and try to clear some of the Swims as a lot of of fish was being snagged which is not doing the fish any good Plus at least put a cold water supply in and maybe a hut with a shower as there is over 13 lakes on the Complex and gets very busy with Anglers But besides that I will be back giving it a other bash ![]() I am not to sure about the other two and I am sure Matty and Gary will add there report Justin |
