I spent 24hours at a mineral lake in Bedworth, after setting up i had my first fish at half past five, after already loosing two, my first fish was a 12lb sturgeon, two hours later my reel was screaming and i landed a 12lb carp. then after a few hours of sleep, i caught a 21lb sturgeon which put up an amazing fight. Soon after i caught a 8lb common carp, then when morning came around i started to pack up and before taking my rods out i caught an 11lb carp. It was a very good short session, specially for winter, i caught them on a fluorocarbon leader, set up on a clip rig system to fluorocarbon hair rig. The bait i caught them all on is peperami, in addition i used a small bag of halibut pellets.

Great session, puts many and angler twice your age to shame. Tight lines Phil
Will be trying crystal soon when i vist a friend. Any pointers for this time of year please!
sorry mate, i ment mineral lake!
its i nice little lake, but highly pressured, this time of year just fish mid water if ur after sturgeon use peperami or steak, if ur after carp use ur normal boilies and stuff. if u can, keep away from the bank or be quite, becuse they are a bit spooky, have fun hope ya catch.
