Im from Swansea, its my third time to this amazing venue. The weather gave us bright hot days and cold nights, i think this did affect the fishing slightly, but still had a great time with some excellent sport. Money well spent.
Over a 48 hour session caught various carp to 15lb, with a Catfish at 23lbs
Most of the carp fell to various boilies from pineapple to cc moores meteor boilies over beds of Vitalin. Catfish fell for a (surprise, surprise) 10mm pop-up tuti frutti boilie coupled with a grain of white, fake sweetcorn.

A good Wales Carp Masters qualifier all round, weather made it hard work (knackered Sunday) but overall had a good time and worth all the effort. Especially coming 3rd and beating the paltry O'Regan Family, who have taken the damning defeat quite badly!!! Again thanks to the excellent work by the Marshalls especially in the rough conditions.
12lb 9 oz Common, variety of lower weights all around 10lb region.
Various methods used over course of competition.

Sunny intervals with a north westerly wind. We have both fished lake 5 many times in the past with similar results. To date our visits have been day only but would assume that the nights would be just as prolific, in short a good action water and anyone failing to catch from here should consider ebay for their kit !!!
50 carp caught between us, largest 15lb
Meteor and maple 8 boilies fished in conjunction with pva bags of trout pellets or stringers at varied ranges in varied rigs and lead arrangements.

Came down from Manchester for a practice before the Carp Masters, never seen the
lake before. We picked a peg randomly and were quite pleased with the results,
lost some fish that felt a lot bigger which was a shame. Some nice looking fish
in this lake though and they fight well, looking forward to coming back!
We caught a total of 32 carp, commons and mirrors to mid double figures.
We used our own home made boilies fished over mixed particles.

We are regular visitors to Celtic Lakes. We traveled down from Shropshire, the
weather was really hot & sunny. We fished lake 6 around the back of the islands
First catfish 28.06lb (pb)
Tactics: as it was hot the carp were on the surface, so i decided to chuck out an
orange bubble float and try floating crusty bread. To my surprise the cat took it
of the top.

3rd visit and it just gets better and better. 2 days sunny and then day of intermittent rain but the carp fed on regardless.
This is destined to become wales best course fishery bar none. John Carney and team have got this fishery down to a fine art. I will be back again, again, and again. Don,t take my word for it try it yourself you will not be disappointed. If you can't catch carp here then take up golf. LOL

The final match of this years winter league was held at Celtic Lakes Resort in
Lampeter. Sixteen anglers took part and today either Nick Williams or John
Charlesworth would become winter league champion and the battle for third place
resolved also. Nick who was trailing John by one point at the start of the match
stormed into an early lead landing carp to 10lb in the first hour on lake 4,
with junior Welsh International Ryan Hughes also catching well. Meanwhile on lake
5 (Churchill), which was favourite to produce the winners today things were not
going well and the favoured pegs not producing many fish at all.

Weather very bad, high winds, but the lake still produced. All fish where caught
from the margins
I had 6 fish and lost 3, one of the fish I lost was a rather larger fish, gutted.
I never used a boilie, tiger nut or maize caught all fish, used with pva bags of
pellets and baited the margins up with pellet, popcorn maize and hemp.

Me and my father were fishing a 24hr session. We caught 3 fish between us, 2 mirrors
and 1 common.
We are from Banwen and we are regular visitors and it was cold and windy.
Common was easily over 15lbs and the 2 mirrors were lower
doubles.
Me and my father were told to put at least 1 rod in the margins and put a couple
of kgs over the top so we did and caught all 3 fish in the margins all on rubber
sweet corn which we did not have much faith in because it has not caught us that
many fish on it so we thought we would use it and we caught all 3 fish on it.

We are both regulars to the venue. Jesse is one of my clients and he fished lake 6 under my coaching. We covered many aspects including spodding and marker float work, all being made easy by the fact that Celtic Lakes is the perfect venue for this! The weather was very sunny and quite warm for mid February! South-Easterly gentle breeze.
14lb 8oz Mirror, 10lb 5oz Mirror
We fished a mixture of bottom baits and critically balanced pop ups too. These were our own Nuts about Carp Plum N-butryic and Pineapple Pro baits fished on 360 rigs. We fished up tight to the far margin and all the fish came from there.

After hearing a few reports that lake 6 has been fishing really slow, we decided
that a bit of action was required for the day.
Although the majority of the fish that we caught were singles, it was still good fun catching over thirty carp between us.
The weather was absolutely atrocious, with the rain not stopping even for a minute with a strong southerly wind.
I think that we\'ll wait for a bit of warmer weather next time and hit lake 6 for the cats.

I didn't expect much as I drive down to Celtic Lakes as the weather was so rough. Celtic Lakes didn't disappoint though - as usual !! Decided to try lake 5 for a change and what a good move that was. Great steady action throughout the day.
