    As Jonny has already said if you go to the main gate near the M1 bridge you can open the bigger gate that has the height barrier attached πŸ™‚

    Second option is to take more bait like I do to lower the ride height of the van

    [quote=”billy-bass” post=809]Just herd the I’ve not made it onto the premium waters again this year. I’m on my third season and told that I’m number 96 on the list. Looks like I won’t be getting on for at least another two seasons then. Absolutely gutted is an understatement.
    As previously explained, I only go fishing mid week so it’s heartbreaking to drive to redhouse, past pride and olvers to see them virtually empty every time. I just cannot see how there are that many members on the premium ticket fishing the lakes.[/quote]

    We have all been in the same situation Billy-bass, I’m afraid you just have to wait like the rest of us have too. Redhouse is a cracking water with some great fish πŸ™‚

    I understand how it seems driving past olvers and pride and not being busy, but that’s the idea of having limited numbers. There are times when peg choice is limited. I’m sure if you watched both waters 24/7-365 you will see many anglers come and go…and a good chunk of the members do short sessions, days and evenings.

    Its around 5 years wait to get on the premium waters, at least 4 if your lucky!

    Grimshaws is a runs water yes, does not mean its easy by any means…I have known anglers blank on there :-), they are pressured fish so you still have to work for them and think about your approach…specially if you want to catch some of the bigger fish.

    Mainly due to it being a shared water, would need approval and commitment from both clubs.

    I have had the same experience in Grimshaws in the past, I’m sure all the complex waters can throw the occasional surprise!

    Numpty, catfish corner is on redhouse and their presence in that water has been confirmed.

    Hi Jimbob,

    That’s pretty much fishing across the board, carp angling has grown a huge amount in 20 years and everybody wants to get on the banks. Its busy because they are good waters for the area and I’m afraid its either fish mid week or get there before everybody else on a friday..IMO the better option is to fish redhouse πŸ™‚

    Cant see why anybody wouldn’t want to wait for the premium ticket, id had mine two months and caught 7 20’s and a 30!! Best things come to those who wait πŸ™‚ and it took me 5 years….just gotta hang in there mate I’m afraid.

    Jimbob,

    Just go by the rule book mate πŸ™‚

    Fish care is and must be priority, no fixed leads,…maggots can only be used during certain months, no nuts, no high oil pellets. Its pretty much all in the rule book πŸ™‚

    Enjoy
