Hi Steve, this will be a great video as always! im from Leeds & the fish arent as big as down south and the venues are getting worse every year. Every peg full and fish pressured to death and alot of waters seem to have fish with white spots on like a disease. Do you have any advice on a nice place to go down south where you catch plenty and have some good fish in their and isnt too difficult to fish as a few of the lads are still learning different rigs etc. Keep up the videos mate
@stevebriggs46384 жыл бұрын
To be fair Thorney Weir is a great place to come to. It’s day ticket and people do come from all over the country to fish there. There are three lakes so plenty of choice and there are lots of really nice fish!!! Also Farlows Lake is just around the corner so you’ll be sure to find something you like 👍🏻👍🏻 or if you want something easier and smaller than those then Lizard lakes are right next to Thorney Weir and easy enough but again with nice fish.
