Hi Leon are your intentions to retire from your normal job when u open the fishery? Or are you gonna get blighted with work going forward as well as having to run your beautiful fishery? Ps how many of us desperados are u gonna allow at once?. Great vid nice fish bud👍👍👍

I’ll keep working my normal 9-5 when I open up. Hayley will be around during the day to do the day to day running of the fishery along with family. Though I will be about most days and evenings. There will be six swims on the complex once it’s open and will have a maximum of 4 anglers on per 24hr. If a lake exclusive is booked you can have up to 6 per 24hr

The reason your fish suffer as no trees to give shade no shade for the fishermen trees make it cooler water and cooler air ov the lake
@SouthWestCarpHunter Жыл бұрын
My fish don’t suffer. They are putting on a minimum of 5lb a year. The more light and air exposure the better the fish grow. The higher the water temperature the better they go. That’s how it works. Carp are cold blooded so really on water temperature to grow. I did a video on why I don’t surround my fishery with trees. I suggest you watch it and the explanation will become clear

@SouthWestCarpHunter Жыл бұрын
No worries. It’s full of carp so you shouldn’t have much problem locating fish in any swim you choose. They are fairly pressured all the time there due to how busy it gets so they do move around a fair bit. Along the dam wall is where the deeper water is located though I think this time of year your find them in shallower areas trying to get the temperature into themselves. Don’t ignore the swims that look less favourable, these can be real hotspots on these types of waters. All manner of bait will catch you fish there. They pretty much live off it due to the amount of carp present. It can be tricky at times in there but with a solid bag you won’t go far wrong. Hope this helps
