Its reasonably shallow being a park lake and the sun was high in the sky

Hey, long time lurker here. I live in Blackpool and have Stanley Park lake on my doorstep, recently I have been contemplating fishing it as i have heard rumors over the years of it holding some nice fish. I took a trip down today with my girlfriend, just for pleasure, and to talk to some staff members in the boating hut about fishing. Turns out it is £150 a year to fish and I was showed some photos of really decent common's. Information about the lake was very vague, so i took a trip on one of the boats, the lake is very very very weedy and overgrown but in some parts nothing a choddy couldnt tackle. Was just wondering if anybody has any info/tips about fishing it. Or catch reports Thanks

Yes i found this post but it is over three years old, was looking for something more recent

Hey, I live relativity close to Marton Mere. I have heard alot of reports that there have been sightings of rather large carp cruising the surface and even a giant catfish in the lake. I must say having looked at the lake it does look like a very good natural habitat for fish. Does anybody have any info on this lake? If its legal to fish (If not if anybody has actually fished it and what's to be expected) Cheers
