I find it embarrassing that these people are asking other anglers to pay for fencing their private lake because they don't want to pay for it themselves. And if anyone dare suggest it is a silly idea they get threatened now? Wtf...

Good luck to all with the fencing.
My point being The owner could have paid outright for a fence ages ago., especially with his business and machinery contacts he could dig the fence channels out before, making it even cheaper to fence.

Seems to me like you're in someway insinuating violence, is that right?

Who are these full timers on Burghfield you are on about living in a tent. Majority of blokes on there mainly fish weekends and hold down jobs, mainly tradesmen. since this covid crap has been going guys have been stringing days together. To other poster, read some of the drivel being punched by keyboard warriors - like I said, got a problem and want to slate someone, pop down to Burghfield and tell them, ain’t rocket science is it.
Few blokes trying to raise a few quid getting rinsed by halfwits on here, sums it all up really.
S&D - think you’ll find a few quid has been stumped already.

Absolutely no jealousy from me, I was just stating the facts!
If the Burghfield common suddenly died due to a otter the waiting list would go down considerably so fencing it is in the best interest, would I donate, no I wouldn’t as I would rather help a local club lake out that anyone can fish.

"Jealousy"
The most useless trump card ever dropped during a conversation about fishing. I've never got why people get jealous of people on minimum wage living in a tent for 4 nights a week, many of whom haven't seen any 'flaps' apart from the one on their brolly.

No jealousy on my part. Burghfield is Burghfield take it or leave it. One huge fish trophy 🏆 and nice back up fish.
what baffles me is the current members have to try to raise funds to fence someone else’s property to benefit them, when the owner is a millionaire

Plenty of jealousy running through this thread - Burghfield isn’t just about the common, some of the back up fish are fast approaching the 50 mark and its a magical place to angle. Simple really, If you don’t want to donate on any of the auctions running, scroll on, if you want to start dropping insults on some of the blokes - jump into your motor and drive to reading and tell them, most of them are down after after putting in a weeks graft on a normal job. Can’t see what the problem is to be honest, they are only running an auction on the chance to fish with some decent anglers on the complex (gold) have a few beers, chew the fat on angling stuff and then have a mooch around Burghfield.

My point was it must have been stocked in Spitfire quiet big to get to 50lb, that’s a hell of a lot of hand feeding over to years.
The Burghfield common has stacked of history and captures throughout its life and weights, without the common in Burghfield there wouldn't be a waiting list so the owners have to play this safe, if think it’s pretty sad when fishery’s rely on a single fish.

Not sure of the exact stocking history but 90/91 the BC was mid thirty along with another common, shorter and more stocky, about the same weight. Then there was cut-off (or cut tail) again mid thirty....I think they were the largest 3 in lake at the time.....a few more low thirties and mid to upper 20's and the majority of the rest mid double commons.
Never heard of what happened to the other mid thirty common....cracking fish though.
Even back then the BC was the least caught fish in the lake, quite often spotted in the back bays and on the shallows.
Happy days and a beautiful place to fish......sounds a shame it has ended up where it is now...
