Gunton is a large almost triangular shaped estate lake up in North
Norfolk.
There are swims well spaced around the lake, but for our Social
trip in December 2004 we opted to fish the open bank (as we could
all cover water whilst still being close for a social).
The lake is very shallow and silty, to be fair, the other guys
were using helicopter rigs, but I was using clips and not having too
much trouble with the leads (2.5oz) getting plugged into the silt.
Geezer with a stunning winter 19.14 common
A decent winter water our trip was slow, then at last knockings Geezer chipped in with a scale perfect
19.14 common.
A lot of the fish were holding out in the middle of the lake, so
if you can punch out a bait as far as possible then you'll stand a
good chance of catching one.
All the runs on the day were from fluro hookbaits, I believe,
mine was lost on an HBS Indian Spice popup.
All in all, a nice place to fish, it has to be worth a good go on
floaters in the summer!
