Reviews
Balif is most helpful with good advice
Had only 4 fish between two Anglers, thunder and lightning and rain on most days, think this put the fish off, most of Jonchery not many fish caught.
Peg 7 is perfect for 2/3 people which is stocked very well, we had 82 carp upto 53lb and average size was 26lb. The lake pellet, maize mix and boilies are a must and listen to Mark the bailiff, Simple rigs and bottom baits work best. It's very peacefull lake and facilities are very good, with plenty of freezer space
We've been to J7 a few times now, and it never fails to please or live up to our expectations. If your looking for your own lake for a week, with a really good stock of fish, nice peaceful surroundings, and good facilities then this is the lake for you.
