forrestg1123 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Posted April 21, 2010 hi, am wondering if any one knows of any good carp lakes in leicester Quote
bobstains Posted April 21, 2010 Report Posted April 21, 2010 Hi Forrest Take a look at http://www.fisheries.co.uk/ and look at Leicester region. Lakeside, Willesley, Gilmorton, I think there is day ticket at Watermead, if I list more i'm only repeating whats on the above website. Quote
slimysime Posted April 21, 2010 Report Posted April 21, 2010 Also, wellham lakes,merricks near syston,navy's pit on the little hill estate wigston, i'll p.m you some contact numbers pal when i can gather the info but in case i forget in a couple of days just prompt me by p.m'ing me. sime Quote
mattgroves Posted August 18, 2010 Report Posted August 18, 2010 @slimysime - could you PM the same please mate? Looking for other (better) venues around leicestershire... Also considering joining HAC nxt season. Do you know much about their waters? Quote
mattgroves Posted August 18, 2010 Report Posted August 18, 2010 Hinkley Angling Club http://www.hinckleyanglingclub.co.uk/ I'm looking for somewhere to settle on for a season, will still tour around a little bit, but want somewhere where I can really "learn the water" and also come and go as I please. The HAC water seems to fit the bill nicely, and a few of the regulars here are members, (which I'm sure they wouldn't be if it was naff ) Am off to Lakeside this weekend - hence finding this thread...

slimysime Posted August 18, 2010 Report Posted August 18, 2010 If i was looking to join somewhere matt it would be john merricks, near syston, £85 for the year and you get to fish 3 lakes for that,merricks, king leir, and another one as well, you can get a season ticket from county hall at glenfield, theres a good head of twentys in there and the odd 30 knocking around, the lake itself is set in beautiful surroundings and very quite, hope this helps lads, i'll be joining again next season Quote
mattgroves Posted August 18, 2010 Report Posted August 18, 2010 Been to watermead loads of times with the kids, not seen many people fishing there (we normally park up by King Lear and walk through to the nature reserve). Will give it a look the next time were over and have a wander around Merricks (only really seen this from the road as you drive in). Cheers Sime I'll look into it further. Quote
slimysime Posted August 18, 2010 Report Posted August 18, 2010 Well worth the money matt, if you do decide to join p.m me and we'll have a brew on the bank, i'll show you a few decent areas to chuck a line i'm defo joining next season, think the ticket runs from june until june plus if you do go with someone and you get peckish the pub HOPE AND ANCHOR is literally a stones throw away from merricks, also i forgot to tell you for your megar £85 you also get a gate key in with that price Quote
carlsg Posted August 19, 2010 Report Posted August 19, 2010 merricks is a nice water il be on there next season myself lad at works on there already Quote
mattgroves Posted August 20, 2010 Report Posted August 20, 2010 Sime, (apologies for the barrage of questions!) How does Watermead (merricks/lear) fish in the winter? (just wondering if I'm better waiting or jumping in now) Is it safe to fish alone? Can a permit holder "sign-in" guests for night fishing? (no idea how this works as I've never been a member anywhere before) Quote
slimysime Posted August 20, 2010 Report Posted August 20, 2010 Watermede is without a doubt a tough nut to crack, 45 acres i think merricks is like most waters matt if you can find them you can nail them as for fishing there at night safety wise, i have heard that it had a reputation of people getting mugged, but never really seen anything like that myself, booking guests in is a strict no no, best thing i could suggest to you matt is take a trip down at the weekend and have a chat with some of the lads on there hope this helps matt. sime Quote
mattgroves Posted August 23, 2010 Report Posted August 23, 2010 Will do mate. I think that my boys are due for a walk in the country, near water, maybe in the Syston area, this coming weekend..... Quote
mattgroves Posted August 27, 2010 Report Posted August 27, 2010 Was hoping to get over to Watermead on Monday, but managed to get sign off on an overnighter Sunday>Monday so will be at Barston with the lads from work instead Quote
sandey Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 it is not safe to night fish .a park ranger told me if you night fish you night fish at your own risk Quote
mattgroves Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 How does that differ from anywhere else? (the "at your own risk" bit) Did they give any examples? Quote
sandey Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 he told me about this follow link.so he said to be carfull when night fishing he said fish in a groop http://www.fishingmagic.com/forums/general-fishing/20509-frightening.html Lee Knight, 25 Quote
bo85tain Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 what that dont tell you is during the day he had been giving some of the lad's a bit of **** and firing boilies at them,so they came back when he was sleeping wrong i know but that's karma Quote
sandey Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 I did not now that. It was in the Paper so why did they not print it in there. But we know what the papers are like. Quote
