Hall More Fishery Hall More Fishery WADAA has taken over the management of 2 fishing lakes within the Hall More Caravan Park operated by Pure Leisure. There are 2 lakes on-site, both of which have been used for fishing previously, though more recently they have been closed to access. The fisheries re-opened on Saturday 16th April 2022. Each lake has very different characteristics, with the larger of the 2 having been established much longer. WADAA operates both coarse fishing on the smaller lake and game fishing from the larger. Anglers can fish either (or both) according to their membership subscription type. A full range of day tickets is available in line with the usual WADAA provision. Additionally, seasonal memberships are available to residents of the Pure Leisure park. Since acquiring the fishing rights, WADAA has invested heavily in the venue with new platforms, parking, pathways as well as a full disabled angling provision. Both lakes run automatic aeration systems – these are strictly ‘No Access’ areas. Please note that fishing on the Coarse Lake must be from constructed platforms only and no fishing from the grass area in front of the caravans. Hall More Coarse lake is a managed mixed

Bass fishing in the UK is one of the most popular forms of angling. With an abundance of bass species found in UK waters, it’s no wonder that many anglers prefer this type of fishing. However, one of the most critical factors that can determine your success in catching bass is the type of lure rod you use, specifically when fishing with soft plastics. Soft plastics are a popular choice when it comes to bass fishing, and they come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors. These lures are designed to mimic a variety of prey, including worms, fish, and eels. Soft plastics work by mimicking the movement of these prey, drawing the attention of the bass and enticing them to strike. When choosing a soft plastic lure, there are different types available, such as jerkbaits, grubs, and shads, and they all have different properties that make them effective in different conditions. Jerkbaits often have a darting action when you work them, while grubs tend to have a more swimming action. Shads mimic the baitfish of the area by having a lifelike tail action; these are perfect for areas where baitfish are abundant. Understanding the venue you are fishing is

Tope is a powerful and hard-fighting species that is renowned among anglers for its ability to put up a great fight. The challenge of pursuing this species from the shore is something that many anglers relish, and it is an experience that is hard to match. In the UK, there are many excellent locations for fishing the Tope from the shore, including Pembrokeshire, South West Scotland, and Walney. Pembrokeshire, in particular, is a popular destination for Tope fishing from the shore. The coastline is rocky, which means that there are plenty of deep-water ledges and gullies that the Tope like to inhabit. Some of the most popular locations for Tope fishing in Pembrokeshire include Stackpole Head, Angle Bay, and Musselwick Bay. South West Scotland is another excellent location for Tope fishing from the shore. The coastline is rugged and features plenty of rocky outcrops where the Tope can often be found. Areas such as the Rhins of Galloway and Luce Bay have a reputation for producing large Tope. Walney, located in the Irish Sea, is another popular destination for Tope fishing from the shore. There are a number of deep-water gullies and channels around Walney that attract a variety of
