I have some real memorable captures: A 28lb carp from the local river caught on a 3hour session, which for years was my largest fish and one I still class as a PB, my first 20lb fish from Earith, my first 30 from Nazeing Brackens, a 4 fish capture over 4 days in winter from the Central lagoon and my current largest fish at 33lb caught in December. Plus a number of fish from the 350acre Alton reservoir, 2 20's in one night, 23 and 28, a night with 3 20's that was so severe with wind and rain I could not get pics of the fish, my camera and phone were soaked through. Two of the most memorable though were 2 fully scaleds from Ardleigh on the night of the London bombings. Memorable not for the fish especially, but because I had a very close friend who was on the tube when one of the bombs exploded. I had tried to ring him on the first fish, but only got his answer phone, he always answered. Thank god he survived and we still fish together as much as we can. The 2 Ardleigh fish My first 30 at 32lb. It was also my first fish out of Brackens pool at Nazeing.

As per title. I'm here with my caravan for a little break but these lakes are well fished by the locals. I never met anyone who was staying here and fishing. They have two specimen lakes with fish to 30lb. Lake 2 was especially kind to me as I had 8 carp out to 18lb over two day sessions. Tickets are dawn till dusk and cost £12 for two rods. All of the fish I landed were in absolutely stunning condition. A guy a few swims up pulled a 23lb common out that was just superb and they do fight well here. I'll be back next year for a few more sessions.

Youll have loads of fun with it mate I found this guys videos very helpful when working out what is what and he also does a few vids on the new drone regulations and breaks them down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6h2_HfTP6g
