Anyone been down here lately? Thinking of going down there again soon but wondering if the weed is any better and if fish are being caught?

thought i might as well add to this thread instead of starting a new one. Went for a quick walk this morning with the spin rod. spotted two small rises and one big one, a 20cm redfin eating a bronzy fish almost too big to fit n its mouth. Thought it was an EP fingerling and was sad. Came across some splashing and surface activity in the THICK loose weed that the wind had collected under the bridge so threw a weedless plastic around for a bit but garnered no interest. Saw a flash of orange on one of the rises. I realised on the next "rise" that it was a large (~30cm) goldfish/koi spawning amongst a school of normal coloured carp. there's carp in the lake. bugger. the place is going from strength to strength. gave up and went home

The place was empty today, which surprised me, wish I had of taken a rod in the car, when I went to Hastings now.
