if you can't catch at brayton you shouldn't be going fishing, a good head of wild carp in here that fight well above their weight, i have caught here on just about every method going and on a few different baits too, any good bait will work here, get your method feeder mix right and you will bag up big time, i have had days when i couldn't keep 2 rods in the water never mind getting my 3rd rod back out, i hope this helps if you need any more info just ask

Wheres North east tackle and supplies based at then mate.? North East Tackle Supplies Ltd Mainsforth Terrace hartlepool cleveland TS25 1TZ 01429 272 581 they have a shop at seaham too and have always been keen to give advice on where to fish when i've been in if your into shore fishing gary pye at the seaham branch is a minefield of info

north east tackle and supplies will tell you where theres lakes to fish nearby, and also have a few waters in the area which you can join for around £40 to £50 for the year

brigham is a tough little nut to crack and can be difficult to fish, boilies work but you can't put any freebies in, luncheon meat is a good bait on here just make sure it stays on the hook, a few miles up the road in aspatria is brayton tarn this is around 8 acres and full of wild carp, these fish go to high doubles with the odd one going a bit bigger, most tactics work here and for me the method feeder works really good, with hauls of up to 100lb + if you play your cards right, but these fish can be quite cagey too at times. fishing here is £10 a day ticket or £20 for 24hrs just outside of wigton is crofton lake, this is controlled by carlisle and district angling club, no night fishing here but a yearly ticket can be had for under £50 and the lake record is 28lb common, there is day tickets available but these will more than likely be stopping soon if they haven't already thanks to idiots who come and leave their crap all over the swims, i hope this helps
