yea i mean i live in maldon atm cause i work at police headquarters in chelmo but originally from manningtree, fished the quarry pit at stanway a lot as that is a police water and had a few big lumps out, just joined the maldon as and done a few nights over at the totham pits, had a few nice lumps out but nothing special.
bros fished that lake in brightling sea said it was ok but hes found places like cuton and birds green to be better,
to be very honest im really looking for a runs water, dont care where abouts in essex, tbh ill venture into the neighborung counties, hert, suffolk, kent etc, also looking at booking some time at churchwood if anyone knows about that place.
