Tactics:
The specimen anglers targeting the catfish have huge success fishing large chunks of meat over a bed of fishery pellets or boilies.
Traditional carp tactics are used for the carp with boilies or fishery pellets being the chosen baits.
With both lakes being relatively deep, zig-rigs and floating baits prove to be very successful on those warmer days.
If you are looking to target the fantastic silverfish sport these lakes offer, traditional feeder tactics work really well for those larger skimmers and bream that reside in the deeper water.
If you are after a real mixed bag, the pole or waggler, fished up in the water with maggots or casters often produces a fantastic days fishing.
