I have pm'd you the website, not sure if its classed as a commercial link 
Its come a long way..14lb bream, 10lb tench ....and decent carp....the product of lost livebaits way back I bet. If you fish the Island, eel section at night was good, with one rod quite close in.
Its a cyclical water, so dont take my word wether its hot or not for pike at the moment
