Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Fishing the over flow on bidston moss

nope derek bud. owned by the forrestry commission and is free to fish. wouldn't bother though ya may aswell go bhead park lol easier to catch an ya know they r deffo in there.

Fish the feeder or on pole with liquid bread and flake gets results in the flow its hard going but if u get on the fish u can have a god day but like robbo says its bloody hard water and I've sat there for days without a bite .0

i know a few good carp anglers who have spent a solid week on there and aint had a thing. a mates had a few perch on the maggot but nothing above 2lb. getting on the fish in there will be a hard thing to do. big water thats 25-30 ft in alot of places.

I'd love a small boat to go around on it fish deep water. Far side that's where I was ripped off ha

me and my gf brother fish this lake very often as robbo said it is a very hard water but i have fished a lot of places all over the country and the hardest of them being coate water in swindon the hardest water in the country i recently worked down there for 7 months and am now back home i fished the flow with my gf bro last summer we caught about thirty between us roach, rudd, perch no carp no eel after being away i thought we would try again as i missed the water.....how different now from last year this water must of been HEAVILY fished in the past year as you get near fuckall we have gone weeeks without even a nibble so we decided to have a night fish a so we went fished from about 3pm till 6am the nxt morning i caught 3 roach and gf bro caught an eel about 7 inches long i was flabbergastd at the eel couldnt beleive it never heard anything of eels in there until then lol that was around 10pm then nothing else for the whole night........but.........at around 3am we were having a coffee and drying off in the tent and was just watching our nightlights whenwe both seen this huge lizard like thing come up in the middle of the lake and looked as if it was looking around we both jumped out the tent to see what it was then it went under came back up and done this back and forth across the middle of the lake 2 or 3 times i ran and got my led light and shined it at it but as i did it disappeared from view and never reappeared we were both in shock by then and could onli manage to look at each other and say what the fook was that! noone beleives us and i dont expect you too either but im just posting this because i seen this thread and would like to share this with you all and to see if there has ever been any other sightings like this............oh and paul what side do u mean u would like a boat on? the side with all the reeds on? i been thinkin about taking my strimmer down and chopping and raking a few pegs out on that side what anyne else think

Its riddled with eels mate. Supposed to be getting endangered but the flow is riddled. I've had a 4lber. As for the reeds side they are in a few feet of water and it quickly goes very deep so be careful.

quote "at around 3am we were having a coffee and drying off in the tent and was just watching our nightlights whenwe both seen this huge lizard like thing come up in the middle of the lake and looked as if it was looking around we both jumped out the tent to see what it was then it went under came back up and done this back and forth across the middle of the lake 2 or 3 times i ran and got my led light and shined it at it but as i did it disappeared from view"

Can you see anything at 3am in the morning ? and what LED lights will shine across that size of water? Is it well lit up by the motorway spur?

Wow , that crab is amazing.

The crab is no longer there. And as for the light it doesnt get too dark there. But its a rough ass place to fish so i would be careful doing nights lol

never mind raking out and putting in a few pegs, i'd be putting up a dirty great fence in case that big lizard comes back. And to take a quote from a famous movie "You're gonna need a bigger boat".

Big lizard, sure it wasnt a Crocodile - a few pets been released into the wild so I hear.

It was probably the Birky Monster, though it doesn't usually venture that far from the Birket. You also need to watch out for the Leasowe Werewolf, as it has been seen around the Bidston Moss area.

They had the same problem down south, they put out traps and they were a howling success!.

Iirc them pics were taken around the 9th Sep 2010. Plus' was in a bad way - first ann. of losing his dad.

OK all I manged to buy a nice fishing dinghy and have been fishing along the reeds catching small roach and perch also lost a descent size fish , I fished right corner its even deeper on the feeder and had some large Rudd and a small common carp not bad eh ha, going again soon ,
