Give em some of that Dougie Moonshine,, when they come round you can say they offered you a place and youve paid!! they would never know the difference

Yep DSM works well there, Single baits with a small PVA stick, also pineapple pop ups worked well before. As Coops said keep everything nice n tight and fish to the clear spots in the silt or if you can find the small gravel patches. Cracking water though, and its defo allot easier now than when Coops and myself fished it!!

Matey, not to hot on waters in essex but i know theres a good few of em with good fish, im sure, if you dont get much joy here, popping into your local tackle shop and asking a few questions wouldnt go amiss,Tight lines

Yea its castle angling, cheap as chips there book is. the day/night ticket on the lake is cheap too. Sixfields lake is its proper name lol,, everyone calls it the res though so yea its the resovoir, a guy did 4-5 weeks straight just recently i think his name was paul hanger or summin, it made me laugh because i thought what a cool name for an angler lol (as in Pull Hanger) thought id better point that out so coops got it !! but anyway yea he blanked! so it is hard going but if you check the catch report for this month you will see 2 of its stunning residents all be it the photos are rubbish! 35 acres,, yep,, its big but just watch for the fish and follow them and you will eventually catch, being static on that lake will do you no favours. Theres some cracking fish in there and i bet half of them have never been caught.

I know the baliffs that are up there right now and they said that the bigger carp that survived the kill down there were checked by EA then moved across to the sixfields lake, aparently there was a largish carp caught there not so long back and that was again sacked untill EA arrived and took it away for a health check. Seems the only fish that survived where a handfull of bits and bobs, in my opinion id get over to the sixfields lake, ive heard that 2 different 27lb (Mirror and Common) came out to the baliff there on zigs last week. Hope that helps.
