I just returned from a four day session at linear on st johns lake and what
a joke all I can say is unless you are prepared to spod about £100 worth of
bait in then don't go
its packed all the time and the place has no features on the water at all 3
rods £20 for 24 hrs not a bad deal but on top of the £100 (which isn't
including hook bait or flavours etc)
to spod with makes it expensive and you can catch just as good carp (bigger
in some cases) for a quarter of the cost

Linear like lots of gravel pits takes very precise casting to marks
and clear spots between the weed. you nead to spend time finding them
before fishing, you should then be repaid with a good sized fish or
two, lots of bait is not at all necessary. . .
