Wildfuzz Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 A colleague at work is looking for a carp fishery or syndicate with the possibility of 30lb plus fish. Currently he is driving to Essex to fish and would like a quality water locally. If anyone knows of such a venue please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitrunner Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Here's a starter. Think thecwaiting list for the syndicate lake is quite long though. https://www.catch22fishingcentre.co.uk/no-2-lake Or https://www.kingfisher-lakes.co.uk/the-lake plenty of others around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyMorgan Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I really don't understand the passion that some folk have for carp but if I shared that obsession then I would head towards the Waveney Valley or, if I didn't mind odds similar to a needle in a haystack, then I would head towards the Middle Waveney where 40+ pound fish have been caught in recent years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishtone Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Cobbleacre worth a try or the old Wensum fishery at Costessey which I think is now run by Barford Fisheries. Always large Carp in there when NDAA had it.Worth a call. Another syndicate is Lenwade Common lakes or The Bridge Lakes at Lenwade which is run by the pub.

troutman62 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Each to their own , but i find carp fishing totally dull and unimaginative. Fishing for a named fish thats been caught before, bite alarms, chemical baits,camo this camo that, millions of unnecessary rigs, no magic here for me at all. But it keeps the thousands of carp squaddies off the rivers i suppose ! Give me a river any time ! Still, if it floats your boat........ 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Troutman62 - Each to their own as you say. However you get my vote, fwiw I agree with every word in your post Griff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I rather think it depends on the lake and the rules applied at that lake. I fishes one once where the poor fish had been caught so often their mouths were in a terrible state. The fishing was such that even a novice would be almost guaranteed to catch and to be honest I did not enjoy the experience one iota. On another lake, I blanked on all but one occasion and though the fish wasn't massive (about 15 lbs) it was a common in prime condition. I did enjoy each of those visits. Generally speaking I enjoy all aspects of the sport though I am starting to have moral qualms about coarse angling. Nowadays I prefer Sea or Trout fishing. Fishing for the pot! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 John, I do understand where you are coming from on this one but I feel it is a mistake to confuse the 'carp industry' with angling in general. I do have one great concern though, and that is the use of keepnets . I don't and won't use one myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Pretty much agree Peter. I don't "Match fish" but I do understand those who do, requiring a keep net. I also understand Youngsters having the delight of releasing the "days catch". I don't use one myself but am generally ambivalent to those who do. Each to their own I suppose.

Wildfuzz Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 I ofeten see anglers with a weeks worth of fish in the keep net, and have seen said nets being towed from mooring to mooring. I would like to see them banned from the Broads outside of a day match. In sea fishing matches its all done on points now so all fish can be returned and not weighed in. Mrs W. and I also have a points system when fishing, a release the fish immediately, and at the end of the season the looser buys a meal, has cost me a fortune every year so far !!!!!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minifer Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Bawburgh Lakes on the Wensum at Colney (I think they are called Bawburgh Fisheries now) have some nice carp and cracking tench and bream too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
