Gigantica Adventure

by | posted in: Carp Fishing, Sidebar | 0
Quay Sports Shop manager Chris Connaughton – Mono has recently returned from the almighty Gigantica. Fishing in very tough conditions with the lake not producing many bites Chris decided that Instead of using the usual spomb tactic to get a bed of bait out at around 100yards he opted to utilise our very own Hunter Pro FantaStik (throwing stick) to spread the feed to keep the fish moving as well as baiting up from the bank. This saw Chris land 3 carp to 34lb using his own Remix Baits Cellnapple pop ups alongside Mainline Baits freezer boilies.

New carp fishing spot alert! 🎣
This May and September, we will be introducing carp fishing at Roadford Lake. This is an ideal, naturally beautiful location, just off the A30, perfect for anglers living in both Devon and Cornwall.
This will be a trial venture in a designated area at the lake, including 12 swims.

Set in the rolling Devon hills on the edge of Dartmoor, just off the A30, Roadford is primarily a brown trout fishery. Carp fishing is now being introduced as a trial across two months of the year – May and September 2023.

There is a large stock of carp in Roadford, and this period of carp angling will be used to monitor the carp and move them to other lakes for restocking purposes.

Carp fishing is permitted in 12 swims: on the west side of the lake, left of the old road of ‘Big Oaks’ and the Grinnacombe bank.

Fly fishing is not permitted in this area in May and September.
