Okay, I'm seriously considering taking on the wild challenge that is fishing for Carp on Loch Lomond. For those who don't know, Loch Lomond is 17,500 acres!!! Yesss, that's 17.5 THOUSAND acres. The Carp are also only rumoured to be there, I've never actually seen proof of them! I have four questions... 1. Am I absolutely off my bonce?? 🤪🤯 2. Am I going to need a boat? If so, any recommendations? 3. Is this a nigh on impossible task? 4. Would you go for it, if you were me?

I’m off to fish Barston Lakes on Saturday! It’s not my preferred venue, but any day spent fishing is better than a day at work. How would you describe your perfect lake? Mine would be one that is fairly wild, few anglers and a low stock of old Carp.

This isn't my preferred type of venue, but there's no doubt it's a great place to visit for a good hit / practicing casting/ trying different techniques etc etc...I've not fished it in the Autumn/Winter, but i'm thinking I might keep it nice and simple/quick and use the fantastic method ball wrapped around the ledger! Maybe have one rod roaming with a big ol' 22mm bottom bait on the off-chance of one of the bigger residence finding it 🤞🤣 last time I was there with my fishing husband Darren Pace, we were exhausted by the end of the match, it felt like you couldn't keep a line in the water because you were getting so many takes! I wan't enjoying it much at all to be honest, but each to their own! 🤣 one of the many things I love about fishing is that it is 100 personal!

@John Stevenson Jock, do you have a lake bed map for Funtley? I've been chatting with Bob and he said the club funded a lake bed map of Sinah! Awesome! Did they do the same for you? Xx
