HATCHET POND FISHING TIPS
Understanding the basics of fish behaviour and habitat is crucial. Fish are more active and likely to bite during feeding times, usually at dawn and dusk. Weather also affects fish activity; overcast days can be surprisingly productive. Being quiet and patient is also vital, as fish are easily spooked by loud noises and sudden movements.
Fish are attracted to different baits and lures based on their natural diet. For beginners, using live bait like worms, maggots, or sweetcorn can be very effective because it naturally attracts fish. As you gain experience, experimenting with artificial lures and different bait types can be both fun and rewarding.
The "best" bait for Hatchet Pond can vary depending on the fish species you are targeting. For beginners at Hatchet Pond, maggots, worms, and sweetcorn are excellent choices for a wide variety of freshwater fish. These baits are readily available, easy to use, and known to attract fish effectively.

Just a half day
Session on the pool today it was overcast with a few sunny spells and a little chilly but no breeze and it was flat calm across the whole lake. Not many carp bubbling as they usually are but casted to a few that were spotted and hooked into one that screamed off 60 yards across the lake and managed to slip the hook!
