Cheers Iggy, Been told to look out for the corner spots, seem to fish well. What bait/ tactics did your stepson use?

Hi Iggy, glad you caught mate.I haven't fished calf heath yet although i will be soon. Where about did you fish on the pool?

Hi Iggy, Well after careful deliberation and after reading through the thread (which I started) I joined Blackfords last week. I fished their new pool - the one by the side of the toll road, can't think of its name and caught plenty of fish. Mainly small roach and bream, a couple of nice bream up to about 4lb and 2 pike at about 8 and 9lb but no Carp I'm afraid. Spoke to a few of the lads fishing down their but none off them were catching big just lots of small bits - good sport though. I visited Calf Heath today, 2 guys fishing for carp I spoke to hadn't caught but had a couple of good takes/ runs all the rest had caught descent perch, bream etc... I'm fishing the pool at the back of Sainsburys tomorrow with my brother (both now members of Blackfords). I will be after the carp and my bro will be swim feeding/ waggler fishing for the big perch and tench the pool is famous for. Hopefully have a good day if this bloody rain stops

Sorry mate, I have also heard of a fishery called Pretty Pigs? Have you fished there before?

Cheers Paul, I also heard there are a number of good Carp Pools in Tamworth. Have you fished or do you know any of these pools?

Will be checking these out to, where about is the Curborough specimin pool in Lichfield, I know where Stowe Pool is but not to sure where Curborough is located?

Cheers mate, will be checking out a few of these venues on Thursday, maybe ready to fish beginning part of next week...... Hope "Teds Dog Biscuit" isn't a euphemism for something else

Cheers Paul, Blackfords seem ok, I've seen the pool behind sainsburys and also the one by the turf on the A5 but where about is the pool at Calf Heath? Do you know how you go out becoming a member? I havent fished Fisherwicks before but I have fished Hamstall Pleasure Fishery in Hamstall Ridware - just outside Lichfield. Good venue but from recent visits (not fishing just talking to the other anglers) there are not many carp showing......

Hi, After several years coarse fishing on many of the rivers and canals in ther midlands me and my old man have decided its time to start Carp Fishing. We've done our research, brought the right gear but we are struggling to find a few places to break our "Carping virginity" To get started we want to fish somewhere nice and simple but with good sport and hopefully a catch or two. Hope you guys can help? Thanks in advance
