Reader feedback:
My younger brother and I came to fish Gaywoods. I have fished Gaywoods before and had a great days fishing, but on this occassion I was disgusted by the way I was talked to by staff. The man at the burger van needs to work on his communication skills because the way he was talking to me was disgusting, so much so we decided not to stay and fish.

Reader feedback:
I've fished Gaywoods many times - excellent coarse fishery. I always catch and have always found the staff very helpful. If they were rude to anyone it would be becuase that person is an idiot or making a nuisance of themsleves. The car park is safe and the food from the van is first class.
