Hadsham Farm is literally 2 minutes drive from my house, so I classify it as my local lake. It never seems that busy when I drive past and the most other anglers I have ever seen there was 2 and that was only once, every other time I have fished the lake I have been fishing on my own, which I always find nice.
Fishing costs £5 per rod per day and you can just turn up and start fishing when you want. Evening tickets are £3 from 5pm and the lake can even be booked for matches and the lake is stocked with carp and tench.
I decided to do some early morning fishing so, turned up at the lake at about 6.15am and set up my method feeder with Dynamite Baits Strawberry & Ice Cream 15mm Boilies on a hair rig with Bait-Tech Special G Groundbait in the method feeder. I cast out and began to set up my second rod, which I planned to fish in the margins. Within about 2 minutes I had a screaming run on the method feeder! A nice hard fighting carp of about 4lb to start the morning. Once the carp was returned I refilled the method feeder added another boilie and cast out to the same spot and continued to set up the second rod.
I had just attached the float to the line, when the other rod went screaming off again, another nice carp!
I did have to scrap the second rod pretty quickly after this as there were too many bites on the method feeder and I did have a fish on each rod at one point, which was far too much for me to cope with! I have fished this lake a few times and each time it seems to be really good fishing early in the morning and in the evenings but during the afternoon it seems to die down. Also as far as I am aware there don't seem to be any fish over 6lbs or so, but you never know there could be a monster lurking in the water somewhere, this is one of the things that keeps bringing me back, apart from the fact it's really close to my house and the fishing seems pretty good!
To cut a long story short, I caught 21 fish, 19 carp and 2 tench up until midday and then I couldn't get a bite at all, so I gave up and went home.
