Tyram Hall Trip

Good advise
Thats how i do it with But i cant find anyone in Donny who has any lamprey at the moment
I do have some small mackerel , trout, roach , smelt and sprats though so i should think at least one of them may get me a run
I hope LOL

Adie

I HAVE GOT SOME LAMPREY, I SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH FOR ALL OF US TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE ROD OUT WITH IT ON.

good fella

My local Tackle Shop has Lamprey blast frozen in the freezer, have never tried it myself. Have Smelt, small Mackerel & Sprats that i can bring. Asked for some Sardines a week back & the assistant says they're the same as Sprat? Is that correct...... ?

No mate sardines are not the same but they are just as soft
They are in my opinion a better bait than sprats

I was doubtful myself. To me, Sardines are more oily & smelly. He tried to sell me a bag of about 12 Sprats, i declined as i have about 6 already & wanted to compare with a Sardine, they had sold out. The Smelts are far more expensive but in the past, i have had the odd run on them

Not long to go, weather is looking O.K. rods ready to go, Is 8.00. meet O.K. with every one? maybe we should pm our mobile numbers, can any one give directions? i will be travelling south down the M18 joining it at the M180 junction.

Hi Steve From the M18 you want to be getting onto the M180 then taking the 1st exit junction 1 onto the A614 to Hatfield woodhouse follow the A614 through the village ( Bawtry road ) and follow signs for Lindholme ( prison ) its not far after exiting Hatfield woodhouse !!
The prison is on the left Tyram hall lakes are just past the prison heres a google map for you to follow

And a flash earth link so you can see how close to the prison it is if you move the picture you can follow the road ( A614 ) back to the junction 1 of M180

Thanks Adie, i have sent you a pm with my mobile no on it.

Just a thought most of the ponds in Doncaster are frozen !!
So whats Tyram Hall going to be like on thursday ??

Anyone got a contact number ? if so can you give them a call and ask if its frozen or not

Adie

Adie, just spoke to the fishery manager, no problems apparantly for us Pikers, the carpers probably will not be there on Thursday, so lets see what its like on the day, i am sure we will be O.K.

Well if its frozen theres always the local river just down the road or canal

I wont be there until about 9.30 as i take my wife to work first ! I drop her off in Doncaster at 9pm then its 15 to 30 mins drive depending on traffic
So i will see you all there save me a good peg lol

Adie

Adie i will save you the very best peg i can find, see you at 9.30

Lets all hope not.....this Artic weather looks likely to be here for days, yet. Its all this Global Warming..

Well Tyram Hall was frozen over, we met there at about 8.15 and there was no way we could fish it. After careful consideration and consultation we decided to go to a local venue that was fishing well, that was untill we got there. we had ten rods out with every bait known to man in the water. it was one of those days, perfect the weather was a clasical Pike fishing day, cold frosty and just the faintest of a breeze. After about two hours i caught my personal best, it was not a Pike, but let me tell you it took some pulling in, we reckon it weighed approx 50lbs and if it was not for Nick i dont think i would have managed to land it, Bazz will post the photos soon, great to meet with Bazz, Nick and Adie, good crack lads we will do it again soon hopefully this time at Tyram Hall.

Left to right: Bazz, Nick Carpy, Steve French & Adie1200 at the Canal. James (Steves apprentice) was photographer on this one

After turning up at Tyram Hall Fisheries, NickCarpy, Steve French, James & i soon discovered that the Fishery Lakes were all frozen & the entrance gate locked. A quick decision on an alternative venue was required, bearing in mind Adie1200 would be turning up shortly & Nick had two other waters in mind, a local Canal or the river Don. We went to the Canal, where several 20+lb fish are known to have been caught. Very soon Adie1200 turned up. Every variety of deadbait was cast into the water such as Lamprey, Smelt, Sprat, Roach, Polon?...correct me if I'm wrong, Steve?..

Well, we fished from 9am until 3.30pm & the only person to catch was Steve! He's a strong fella, 3 Fresh water Mussel's, a Pike sized log & a "20+lb saturated Jacket"! After an Epic struggle, Nick managed to grab the defiant beast under the chin & haul it from the water It was a case of 'who dares look in the pockets'. No money or anything else, other than MUD.

Nick managed to snag badly & got 'snapped' above his float, leaving the float just out of reach in the Canal. There were several boats, One took 10 minutes to descend & pass through a Lock, passing us all, only to travel 5 minutes up the Canal & then return to climb the lock & go back

One boat did Nick a favour & swept his loose float & tackle back to him, a swift sweep with his landing net retrieved it. We float fished, ledgered, wobbled & tried Lure & NOTHING aroused the interest of one Pike!

We all managed to enjoy ourselves, had a chat about Pike, fishing in general & the forum & we are none of us the worse for the blank day & plan to fish again, somewhere, at Xmas or early in the New Year.
