Big carp near Dudley ?

Hi everyone the question is in the title really. I have been fishing runs waters for a while and with a PB of 22lb I’m looking to step my fishing up and maybe bag a 30. Currently looking at cuttle mill and fox hill fishery. Hopefully Somone on here will have experience with these places and could share. Open to any suggestions within 20/25 miles. Thanks guys.

Going crazy over hooks

might recognise me from the weedy lake questions, what hooks do you recommend.

I've tried loads of different hooks but never really found one 'for me'. gonna fish a slip D in a solid bag so any recommendations for hooks or hooklink would be greatly appreciated. will also consider other rigs👍

Fishing Get Away Help

Hi all,

I'm looking for some advice on a venue. I want to book a weekend away (2nights, 2 adults) for my boyfriend's birthday in November this year.

I have googled and been bombarded with venues however I wondered if anyone had recommendations... Any smaller, family run holiday venue/lake instead of the big brand/country lakes.

Our needs

- within the Lincolnshire or Cambridgeshire area or not too far from those.

- A lodge / cabin /caravan with a private fishing peg! This is vital. I want us to spend the time together, at the lodge and fish from it /right in front of it. (If it has a hot tub, then brownie points, but not essential)

- Carp is a must.

My budget sadly isn't much. I have seen a suitable venue for £380 for 2 nights. I wouldn't be able to much higher to be honest.

If anyone has any recommendations, I'd be very grateful.

Thank you.

Help needed, what to do when line is completely snagged

I just wanted some advice, im into my second year carp fishing and one or twice ive caught a fish only for it to run to the margins and the line becomes totally stuck.

I have no idea if the hook has been transferred onto a bit of wood, if perhaps the line is snagged around something with the fish still hooked, but either way its totally stuck and dispite reeling in as much as I can with the line very taunt it doesn't budge.

Ive tried leaving the fish for a while. Tried keeping the tension on for a while - most of the time nothing works.

I obviously need to try and steer the fish from the margins earlier and more effectively, but any suggestions of what to do in thos type of situation.

Thanks
