- Lake owner pulls the plug...well not quite... but we do have a drained lake to show you!
Our man Bonesy took a walk around his local lake, Lavender Hall, last month while the owners drained it for desilting and restocking. This gave us a great opportunity to show you exactly what lies beneath when you think your'e fishing the spots and searching for that all important 'donk'!
Let us know in the comments if you noticed anything on Bones's walk round or disagree with his findings!

Glad you enjoyed it 💪
Honestly so much learnt! When fishing to any island or margin and there are trees on the bank !! Be at least a 6/7ft away when presenting bait.. also did not realise how instant it is between gravel bar and silt !! Ive fished just off gravel bars thinking it would be still slightly gravely ! Still using short rigs ! I probably just cast bait and rig into silt! Cracking watch and thanks for making me re think things 😊
Glad you enjoyed watching it Rick - hope it has helped with your fishing 👍
I wonder how many times casting into soft silt ,it's all sunk into and when it's wound in it all cleans off 🤔 and we think nothing, s biting what about the method on a commercial match just the same
For sure that happens, always good to smell the bait when it come out gives you a good idea 💪
well this has opened my eyes a bit to fishing. i dont mornally feel the lead down all the time on a small lake that i fish but after watching this maybe i will from now on. i normally try and get as tight to the island as i can but again i think maybe i will continue to do so but not so close to where the trees are. those roots are a massive snag.
great video my man. 👍👍🐟🐟
Glad you liked it Lucus 💪
@Chris Bones Holmes yes mate great video. Bit of an eye opener really so thanks for taking the time to make the video.

Cracking work well done to all involved 👌👏👏👏
Thanks for the support 👍
good vid mate, yeah those roots were brutal round the islands, luved the gravel bar, good spot, also gravel slopes away from islamds, lots of interesting spots,
👌🏼 top stuff Bones

I WILL feel the lead now for sure. Great insight Bonesy
Hope this helps you put more fish on the bank, or at least be fishing with a little more confidence 👍
Great Video and insight to what you are actually casting into !! You just never know 👌

Great vid. Really interesting. Certainly highlights to importance of the drop

I would have thought that a carp lake would have been a lot deeper to accommodate larger fish during the winter months. In that lake, surely they would freeze to death.
Great video mate thanks. Maybe do a underwater video of casting into this exact silt and see how it would look using a heli, lead clip and inline
I’ll put it in a plan 💪

Amazing Video
Very interesting should go back and show when the water is back and show how a normal lead clip set up would look in that silt
Planning on doing this mate
@@chrisbonesholmes9872 can't wait for that and keep up the good work on the videos 👏
really good video 👍

Bonsey. Funny man
Bonesy, Your knowledge of trees is as good as your videos mate!👍👍❤❤😉😉
thats because he hugs them a lot lol
Dont fear the silt. Puddle pigs love shit/silt too. Love a clear lake in summer, with carp, greedily and obviously feeding in the silt for bloodworm. Stalkers dream fishing.......freeline a worm on a size 8, or a fly fished worm pattern and its usually game on.
Good tactic that, but getting a worm free lined 60 yards isn’t easy
@@chrisbonesholmes9872 stalking is normally selecting fish by sight. But in your case use a bait boat.......
would pva foam help if you landed on silt?
I sometimes wonder about the huge Numbers of boilies...put in by folk. Do all the ones that are not eaten degrade quickly or remain around to petrify ???
Qaulity watch very informative on different parts of lake how they change but as my club lake's have Done cut out all three roots along islands & tree lines we were all surprised on how rootage ther was look forward to future like this one 👊👊👊

4:23 have you picked up that feeder bomb? 😂
I was surprised at how deep the silt went and how fast the depth of it went from gravel to two foot plus. Is there any way of finding out how deep the silt fishing in is? If you have no choice but to fish on the silt I'd like to know the difference between it being 5 or 6 inch & your bait having a chance of still presenting or it being 2 foot of really soft silt and the lead dragging your bait deep down in it & you not knowingly fishing behind a buried rig and bait.
I’d like to try and do something like this so leave it with me 💪
So is a longer hook link always bebeneficial when fishing in silty areas. Along with a light lead .
I think that's why it's a tricky water - 80% of the bottom is silt...
Definitely Clive, could not believe just how soft some of it is
They feed like mad in silt...
@Ryan Cox they do but presenting a bait well is harder if your not prepared for it.

Very interesting 👍 someone lost a spomb there too
There was hundreds of them in there lol
Found more than spombs, found a full bobbin and swinger arm 🤣
Very interesting. Surprised there wasn't any carp holes. I've seen them before like dustbin lid size and bigger. But yeah good and interesting video 👌
To be honest, we did see a few holes but couldn't put everything in the video. Maybe next time or the next venue we will be able to show more.
I must be the only person that prefers a silt spot over a hard area or bar lol
of course, fish love the silt and will feed in it also at times. This was more aimed at the potential of where you think you are fishing and where you actually might be and the importance of being accurate.
Is there any reason for the amount of silt in this lake? Is it just broken down vegetation such as leaves and stuff? Or is there another reason? As for the tree roots, a big carp would find it impossible to feed where the roots are so dense. Great video, it shows up some of the difficulties the owners face to maintain a commercial fishery.
Its a reasonably old lake that i think even by owners admission, its been relatively unattended... If you check out their own page you will see they have since done a lot of work on the lake and started to refill it ready for carp!
I'd love to see whats in my local lake where I fish.
Great Video, Can you or anyone pass on any tips for feeling the lead down please 👍👍
Very interesting shows you never know how your rigs are presented or not thanks for insight.

Appreciate the vid, I do have an old plan on the bars but rumour had it that it wasn’t the same BUT from your vid it seem still quite similar. Night fish to book soon I think now I’m a little more educated. Any idea of the amount of carp in this lake?

If you drop the team at Lavender Hall a message and they will be able to give you a little more info on stocks etc 👍
It like hawkhurst fishery when they drain the lake its 90% silt and very shallow it should all be removed as we pay lots to fish there, but its a lovely lake
I had a 29lber of that peg
Might seem silly question but will you be taking some of the silt out or is it good for a pond
Not a silly question mate, places do de-silt lakes when they drain them but not sure what they did here
I struggle to feel the lead down in water under 4ft any tips?
They could really do with de-silting the lake, those pegs that have the bars are going to be sort at now this video is published
in progress already
Couldn't be bothered fishing in puddles full of crap like that real carp fishing is in the rivers you don't know what fish are in there not like these money making over fished puddles..
I would note each distance (wraps) to each location from each swim I usually fish at…
That would be too easy lol
@@TrakkerTV 😂 I agree. But we use fishfinder, deeper, camera, marker rod etc as well to make it as efficient as possible…
You need a digger in it and clean up up of that silt
So now you've seen the bed, which peg and spot would you fish?
Has always had problems with that lake . Leaked since day 1 n its only a puddle 😅
We had a minor leak many years ago, in fact it would be over 10yrs ago now.... the puddles been full ever since though. Thanks for your concern.
Tell me u took that spomb .great insight.
there were hundreds in there and leads in the snags lol
@@TrakkerTV was there many leads on lake bed .
@@peternewell4206 not huge amounts more in the margins with the roots
Not so much water
otter 😛
Dig the whole place out n make it a nice carp water instead of nods place
You seem to know exactly how to run a fishery Jonny, go and give it a go mate..... oh wait, never mind.
Would you mind that old pipe ?
😂😂😂😂😂
The lake has now been restocked! - czcams.com/video/CvptQ2vEHjE/video.html
95% less chance of catching on silt....? Don't think so.
Helicopter system and fish in the silt instead on the gravel 👌🏻. You dont know shit mate
very shallow lake. I don't like it
That's why it was dug out 😉
They drained it knucklehead
