\"\"<\/a>Some nice big carp were on the feed at Makins Fishery when Matthew, Nik and I tackled the venue. I’ve already done a couple of rod-and-line days with them both, but now Matthew has kitted himself out with a shiny new MTX3 pole an enjoyable day\u2019s pole fishing was called for!<\/p>\n

Lake 4 holds some nice, big and colourful residents and they pull well on pole gear, so it proved a good choice for our session. It\u2019s a relatively deep lake by Makins\u2019 standards, too, so you\u2019ve got plenty of options when it comes to rigs, bait and feeding.<\/p>\n

Pole elastics were stretching within minutes of starting before the fish wised up and a bit more work was required to keep the bites coming. Even I was surprised by the amount and size of fish they\u2019d caught after a really interesting and enjoyable day.<\/p>\n

As ever, a big big thanks to Makins Fishery for having us!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
