hi somethingfishy , depends on whot you want to catch mate , for a mixed bag i would surgest one of the pleasure lakes , ask when you arive wot lake is fishing the best , theres allways fish to catch with so mutch water to choose from

hiya i was looking at coming to white springs for a weekend in april, its my first time fishing there and wondered if april is a good month. im fairly new to fishing and wondered which lake would suit a novice best. thanks

There are no hard and fast rules for the Speci lake however the pegs from Megans Corner on the old cabin side of the lake and the soil shed area seems to be fishing well lately but then everyone has their own favourites, if you are new i suggest you read the catch reports as we mention the pegs whenever possible, if not you can work out where they are from the photos, you can ask which pegs are which in the tackle shop, be patient and good luck.

hey guys after readin the latest news and events im thinkin of doin 48hr on the speci... never fished it any got some tips on wich pegs etc? cheers

Dont know sorry.

hi guys i recently baught the new cc more n-gage xp boilies and im just wonderin if any of u have tried them at white springs and if you have caught with them, i tryed them on the main carp lake at anglers paradise but didnt catch.

cheers Alex

hello again guys well I did pop down to springs thursday to take a look.
On Friday we went there and fished the speci lake for the day.
I didnt bank any fish but had quite a few beeps on my alarms but alas NO fish lol.
I think and feel it could have been some pesky bream messing with my bait.
The upside of it was it was my home made boilies that got their attention.
I would like to thank the couple of young lads of 15 that came over to chat to me and made me feel welcome so guys you know who you are and thank you.
It was a good day weather wise and Kathryn and I did enjoy our day out there ans we are looking forward to our week there end of May.
Thanks to Vince and his good Lady too for the warm welcome. see you soon at springs
tight lines guys
all the best
John.

@Mike, No problem m8, if you see Alex (thats me) down the bank then dont hestitate to come up to me and I will share what I know.

hi guys as I am in the area on thursday /friday I thought I would pop in to have a look around at springs. I got my lovely Kathryn to load my fishing gear into my car and if there is a space on the speci lake I might BEG vince to let me pay for a day fishing it.We are stopping at the travel loge at j47 on the M4 visiting reletives in Swansea and hoping for a day fishing Friday to see how it is there before my week on the speci lake end of May beginning of June.
I hope to get my lines in Friday as I havnt fished since September because of health and weather problems. I wont have my caravan with me but I will be in my wheelchair so if you see me give me a shout lol.
tight lines guys
Regards
John.

yeh thanks for that wills ,shal give it a go

mike,have a poke around with a marker rod to find the features,but not before your about to fish cos this can be the kiss of death to your swim ,,and bobviously dont disterb other anglers swims ,log it all in a diary [ hey presto ] future ref ,

thanks for that white springs,i,ll take everything you said on board and ask my future questions at the lake ,you allso gave me a lot more info in just a short space than i new before ,so thanks again ,i was not nocking the place one bit because i love it down there ,my frustration got the better of me [i appologise] see you soon , cheers ,oh and thanks to frankie for the bait tip ,tight lines to all

mike i would suggest mainline cell boilies

@ Mike your question was missed by myself, in fairness this is supposed to be a guestbook rather than a FAQ or Forum and in fairness Im a webmaster here not a specimen lake expert. Your question is best asked in the tackle shop or actually on the bank rather than answered here as it is too difficult to point out the lakes features by typing and I am not sure of them anyway to be able to advise properly, Vince would be the best person to ask as he built the lake in the first place and can show you where the features are, fishing to islands and in the margins produce normally and the bottom is made of silt, there are weedbeds, lilypads in summer, gravel bars and channels in the lake however explaining them to you is impossible on here and would take up pages and apart from that you never said what you were fishing for or what swim kinda makes it impossible to answer you. As for baits why not try reading the New and Events pages and you will see what baits are catching, mostly different baits work at different times and if we knew what baits worked everytime on the lake we would all be catching fish now wouldnt we :P It isnt that we dont want to answer you Mike its just as you learn more about fishing you understand why we couldnt answer you.

no probs mate , dont now about you but i find a lot of questions go unanswerd in here ,especialy new comers to the sport like myself ,looking for some advice on the specie lake ,i dont expect everyone to give away all their seecrets but a little help goes a long way ,yeh hope to see you down there one day mate , wel try and help each other out with wotever nowledge weve gathered,good luck and tight lines mate

Thanks again Mike, if I bump into you on the bank, there is a pint or two in it for you with the money I will save. Thanks once again.

It has elec, light, fridge, microwave, only and possibly a tv (if so you will have to bring ariel, scart lead and freeview box in order for it to work)
There is a kitchen unit with worktop as well.
Hope that helps you

what facilities does the new cabin have ?

@Tony-the link i gave you is Richard Sheppard m8.

Sorry, it was Richard Sheppard I was trying to contact. I spotted him in one of your articles.

Thanks Mike, I was looking at TFgear X-Sleep Extreme bag in the catologue today (£49.99). I was also looking at the Primal Force 8 which comes with a Force 8 Storm skin for £89.99. Do you think it is worth the extra £40? Niether mention what 'season' they are?

mike says...
tony,your best bet is to get a 4or5 season sleeping bag for all year round use ,i use a tfgear xtream bag ,well recomended ,
