Kingsbury I'll definitely look into cheers.

Been a long time since I heard anyhting about Kingsbury but it was a very well fished water back in the 0's, the sort of place that might be 'difficult' for a newer Carp angler. I'm not trying to put you off, things may have changed, just making you aware. Back in the day when I used to visit Simon at Quality Baits he had a door and wall plastered with fish from KWP, some really nice fish.
If you're thinking that far might be worth having a look at Cuttle Mill, well fished for again but a bit under the radr at the mo, still producing nice fish to my knowledge. I believe the bailiff on there recently retired...if my memory serves me right.

My only memories of Kingsbury are early ones when I used to live that way towards Solihull. One of the first places I fished with my dad who'd swing tip for Bream, and I remember he got stung around the eye by a wasp. Then my recently passed uncle used to fish it for Bream and never catch anything!
I've been trying to build up to waters like that. Cuttle Mill will probably be a better bet. We fished the lake round the back with the Jnr Club (Starlets) and I always remember being impressed with how nice the first main lake looked.
Probably my best water at the moment is Cofton Lake, but the fish are more or less stockies (I believe from Furnace Mill someone told me) and I'm yet to have a 20 from there, though there's meant to be some in there and a couple of 30s. I've spent more time Roach fishing it.
I'm trying to build up experience on places like that before I fish harder waters, though my club estate lake in Bridgnorth is one of the first challenges I look forward to.
