| Re: anglers paridise catfish lake info Hi Dave, i stayed at AP a few summers back for a week. I am not sure if its the specimen lake in the holiday complex you are fishing or the public one... The two lakes that i know of at AP to have cats are 'Octopussy' and the main carp lake. There might be others but the memory is getting patchy! The methods we used and were advised to use from the on site tackle shop was to fish 16mm halibut pellet popped up 6inches with a cork ball on a size 4 or 6 hook tied to a 45lb quicksilver braid hooklink. It's fairly standard cat fishing tactics i think but its what we were told to use... The way i am talking you would think i caught a few cats during my time there! but we blanked with them  Although i seen a few landed on the same method. If its the same lake i fished 'octopussy' the best pegs are the ones that are closest to the main carp lake. Hope that helps a little bit Cheers, Justin __________________ Copyright © All Rights Reserved.
