Recently started course fishing again after a break, and although fished some of the other lakes, this time tried the Firs, had a really good day. Caught some challenging carp, no sign of any other species, but caught a personal best for me. My last cast I hooked something big that took me down the lake and lost it in the reeds ( clever fish) overall a great place to come with friendly staff at hand

Having stayed at Todber Manor 2 x over the last 5 yrs, the Go too lakes always were White Post Match Lakes and the small Firs Lake, its a 2 minute walk from the Cottages, very handy, with the Inclusion of the Cafe Hut, and a host of needed Fishing Tackle and Bait another 25 yds away, the Carp didn't seem to adhere to the Normal ways the so-called Professionals fish, a small lake that fishes its Nut's off, my last visit saw 1 afternoon bladdering carp nearly by design, with fish in between the 4-6lb bracket 1 after the other, my trusty 3mtr Sensas Carp whip was used with an 8 elastic through the top joint, no snapped Carbon {was made of Glassfibre}, Yes the Whip folded to the point of Breaking, the Lacky and the whip, did neither, using a few curnels of Corn leteraly at my feet, from the off having bits on the Pole, then for the next several Hours, the Sport was amazing, if allowed a Keepnet the weight would have exceeded past the 120lbs easilly enough, i have to be honest, 1 Honey Monster did break the Hooklink {Guru 9lb Q1 Speedstop}, at that point i felt the Whip would completely shatter, my sweat, the Exilleration and the Thrill, has made this little Gem a Go to DESTINATION, as will be my port of call, yet again this forthcoming holiday..Tight Lines.

I went fishing here with my friend and his dad, not my best session but I did end up with the lake record (14lbs mirror carp) beat that! Thanks Todber, friendly staff would recommend.

I took my son and his friend and they caught tones of carp
