Fishing
no night fishing…
landing nets must be dipped and rinsed before use…
no keep nets,
No boilies, No hemp, No dog/cat food or biscuits. no floating bait, no ground bait, no trout pellets…
only Barbless hooks (no micro hooks)
only one rod per person and it will be checked whilst you are there.
Fishing for Tench,
common and mirror carp, Rudd.
We arrived on Friday to find that the ground was a bit wet and the owner, Anna, contacted
her husband who help us to move onto the site with tractor. While we waited she gave
us coffee and a very warm welcome!
There are 12 electric hook ups and 12 fishing pegs
so you get your own peg, my hubby said it was excellent fishing although he found
that you had to fish just under the surface and using only bread!
Shower and toilets were VERY clean and although the showers cost 50p (tokens from
owner) they last for ages and the water can be as hot as you like! We were a bit
worried because it is advertised as a very quiet site and we took two not very quiet
16 year olds with us! But they though it was really good and the lane just outside
the site was great for skating on or using their electric scooters!
The other people
on the site were very friendly too which I think helps.
Hogsthorpe is a nice place the pub does a wonderful Sunday lunch and the village
post office/ shop is great for odds and ends.
Chapel St Leonards is quite close and
Ingoldmells and Skegness are just a short car ride away.
All in all I give this site a big 10 out of 10 so book early for next year and as
I've already told Anna we will be back for Easter and probably for a week in the
summer I had better warn you that this site will book up really quickly!!
Enjoy but
don't nick our pitch!!
