Today I’m fishing a venue I’ve never seen before and trying to work out the lake from scratch.
With the lake packed out and only a handful of swims available, I start by walking the lake, looking for signs of fish and speaking to local anglers to build a plan. After spotting a ghost carp show and getting some valuable information from the anglers already fishing, it’s time to put the rods out.
In this video you’ll see:

The lake record was recently broken at over 41lb, and although this session didn’t go exactly to plan, there’s plenty to learn from fishing a completely unknown venue.
Have you ever fished a new lake and managed to catch on your first trip? Let me know in the comments below.
