For my first ever 24 hour carp fishing session, the fishery owners were kind enough to lend me a bivvie. The owners have since changed, but having communicated with them via social media I can confirm that they are just as willing to help out as their predecessors. The fishery offers opportunities for carp, pleasure and match fishing in a pleasant environment on the edge of the New Forest, and I was lucky enough to catch three double figure carp in 24 hours, as well as some greedy, boilie-munching roach to 8oz! Was so close to the 20lb mark, but the hunt goes on! Would recommend to anybody, especially if you’re looking to try out specimen carp fishing for the first time off the back of pleasure coarse fishing for smaller carp and coarse fish, like I did in 2017!
if you want a bend in the road from first cast to last horrdle is the place to go. Not alot of monster fish but plenty of double figure good healthy fighting fish. friendly staff and a beautiful place to be
