On the way up I was quietly confident I would come back with a wet net having caught at least a few silvers if not something better. Having got there at a little after 9 (I know.... Early bird catches the worm and all that but id had a rough night okay) I picked my pog and began fishing. For those of you that know the fisheries I was sat on the top pond on the wall, casting over the outlet pipe. Tends to be lots of hungry carp there where the natural bait seems to get drawn to.
So I don't really want to darg this thread out, I mean how long does it take to tell you I didn't catch a thing, and only had 1 half 'o bite all day. I even moved pegs after about 3 hours and that really isn't like me at all. Partly because im scared someone will come and sit where I have moved from and bag up, and partly because im just too lazy to move.
I know this isn't the most exciting thread and I wish I could have come on to tell you about my 100lb bag but unfortunately not. But, Hey. You got to take the rough with the smooth. No one said this game was easy!!!
So whats your experience of Pinchmill. What baits work best for you and what pegs are the hotspots.
Tight Lines all.

Thats 2 out of 3 days fishing resulting in a blank this season so far
. If things don't pick up I might have to resort the the bully boy tactics.

The top pond is the oldest and where you want to be fishing if your after the larger carp. Its pretty much 4ft all the way across bar a shelf the ranges from about 2ft to about 4ft out from the bank. It does have a few "Golden Pegs" that seem to do alot better than others. There is one to the right of the big tree on the car park side that is shit hot for tench. You have to be quick tho as the roots of the tree go into the water and the tench know that.
Next to the island is where the majority of the carp hang out. Id say on a good day you've got a decent chance of getting upto 8 - 10lber but its not the sort of place that I would chuck 3 rods on alarms in and sit and wait for the biggy. There are some in there but its not often you hear of them showing.
The bottom pond I have only started to fish this year and have only done about 4 sessions there so don't know anywhere near enough about it. Best fish out of there is around 5lb mirror. There are some niced size bonus Ghosties and Koi but it's along time since I have heard of these coming out but they have been seen cruising a few times recently.
It's a nice place and I won't give up on it just yet but it is a bit worrying as upto the floods I was almost guaranteed to bag up there.
