Gudgeon fodder?🤨

With a good chef knife it took me 25 seconds to cut 10mm cubes all same size

It's a weird lane Northwood, long and winding all uphill and then you end up in someone's back garden....the lower fishery is probably the better choice if you are not Bear Grylls.

Mick's angling adventure clip of him going back up the hill convinced me I would end my days at Trimpley if I was to try.

Paul check out Mick's Angling Adventures YouTube. He gives a very good and exhausting review of Trimpley.

Not sure re Trimpley think there is no parking now. The Northwood stretch I have fished and that's easy, park inside gate and a short walk to the river.

Thanks Tim for a very detailed and eye opening response.

Well I could introduce stillwater Barbel into the discussion if that helps you.

Why do that Vince? Unless it makes uncomfortable reading ...other species doesn't get so many views why would I want that🙄

There are regulations regarding these fisheries and the important factor regarding such places is if they are connected to moving water ie streams or rivers, if they are it seems the EA are pretty hot on what fish can be introduced and other factors, if not it seems regulations are relaxed. Is...

Yes I did reflect on that.

Yes there more important issues very kind of you to grab the moral high ground, but since we are here on a fishing website it seems rather appropriate to comment on such matters. If that's OK with you..

Oh! really? That's just fine then. Reason being it's so small a puddle.

Well I was under no illusion that views on this would be polarised. I dont need to be the guy with all the likes, I just know in my gut when something is just not right, this and all the other commercials that put profit before fish welfare can rot.

Well it does come under the guise of angling and this is an Angling forum so it is reasonable to expose these chancers for what they are, profit before anything else. They are removing other established fish such as roach perch rudd to facilitate larger carp to increase revenue, that for me is...

It's difficult not to come over as a bit elitist in my comments, and after all it's just fishing, but for all things holy where is the sport in pitching up a bivvy 3 rods filling kilos of bait in what is no more than a pond only to fix a distance stare on a captured farmed carp for the f.b few...

Well I get it if you are using match tactics I guess.

It is...what is to stop anyone stocking huge foreign carp in a similar puddle and claiming a new record? This lake is 25 years in the making, not long I agree but long enough to be established as a diverse environment, it really frustrates me and just to provide a captive lump or two at £25 a...

Surely has to be less trouble using a knife without all that faff? Plus from one block of meat I can vary sizes for 'ook,
