Hayfields Lakes, Auckley, Nr Doncaster

In the summer months, shallow fishing with pellets, meat or casters is the downfall of plenty of carp and F1s, with roach and ide thrown in for variety. Caster will catch everything that swims, providing you with a truly mixed bag, but for the match lads the more selective pellet or meat approach will pick out the weight-building carp. A paste line at 4-7m will usually throw up a few fish late in the session, as will a bigger fish bait fished in the margins. Use stout gear down the sides though; some huge fish have been landed lately, with reports of a 23lb fish landed in a recent club match.
