Appreciate your advice mate. It does seem like it's a proper who you know game.

Hi all,

I'm working in Grays (on shifts) and am looking for lake recommendations. I'll be fishing over nighters and a few days throughout the weeks.

Ideally I'd prefer older character fish, I don't mind lower stock or neglected lakes. Also I'm happy to travel half hour or so either way.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Stu

Thanks for your advice. How far down are you fishing in the tidal section?

I'll be honest the river really does appeal to me so any advice you'd have on that would be hugely appreciated.

I did initially speak to a guy called curly (the photographer from nash) through instagram about the water park as that would be ideal!

He's reply was super helpful but he basically said ‘it's pretty hard to come by now and there's only one open access club ticket now (south Cerney angling) that's has dabchick and wickwater which have a few lovely ones in or horseshoe lake

Which I'm currently trying to dig a little deeper in to

If you could recommend some that would be brilliant mate. If I don't at least get in the waiting lists I'll never have a chance.

I really have considered it but was never sure if it was rumours. Would you have any idea which areas to focus some of efforts? I've heard rumours that the lower stour and tidal section is a good start.

Really appreciate your reply mate. I'll have more of a look in to them.

I'd definitely consider commuting up to 2 hours each way if there's a. I've target worth fishing for and you'd have any other recommendations?

Hi guys.

I'm currently living in Bournemouth and on the ringwood book. I'm looking for a syndicate or an open access water with a good stock of dark scaley mirrors. I'd really like to get my teeth in to chasing a specific target fish. Although the size is not particularly important to me at least an upper thirty or the chance of a 40 would be more than enough.

I'm happy to commuting up to 1 hours each way and in all honesty the less manicured the lake the better for me however I'd the right water is available I'd definitely consider somewhere further.

I know what I'm asking for is pretty much impossible now days, but any recommendations on waiting lists or ideally accessible lakes would be massively appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Stuart
