Guest Anonymous Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hi Beccs, welcome to the Forum Hmm, to put it quite simply, Weeley aint the best place, the Predator Lake is a very hard water. They do have 4 carp lakes in total, the top lake is the 1 for a few pasties but nothing of any real size, 5 to 8lb perhaps? There are a few other day ticket waters in the area... Homestead caravan lake - Weeley... Kirby Cross which is a 10 minute drive away, Carpenwater, Clacton (needs to be pre-booked but is a very nice water & also holds Wels Catfish. Have a look at carpenwater.co.uk for details) If you want a chance at a reasonable sized fish you'll have to travel upto 30-40 minutes away... I'm sure you'll get lots of help from other members. Have a nice holiday UPDATE - just realised Carpenwater has become a Syndicate this year, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 is homestead lake any good Did I say it was then The last time I fished it Ethan was about 6 or 7 years ago when it hadn't long been open. The carp didn't know what maggots & sweetcorn were... Why? Because they'd been fed on Cafe leftovers for years, you know, chips, fruit, salad - all the things carp just love One of my mates takes his boy there & he usually goes home mid afternoon with armache Again, nothing huge but good sport.

spicychickenballbag Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Me and my boyfriend have just booked a week at weeley in June but after reading your posts im begining to think it was a bad idea. Welcome again to the forum. I keep on saying that I wont go back to weeley, the thought did go through my mind when I was sitting on the bank there yesterday! Got there nice and early, and came home this morning with yet another blank under my belt! Nobody else had a fish the whole time I was there...There were to blokes down from London, they had been there since Monday morning and went home last night and the only line bites they had were ducks. Some people said that the bottom lake down by the bypass has been producing fish but so has Captain Birdseye and there all covered in bread crums and would not look good in a photograph either.

Just remember thats its not an easy water either, but the Results are definitely there if you get things right. A blank may be the same result, but at least the quality of the fish is a definite plus. The Bailiffs reckon on at least 15 different 30lb+ Fish, and the smallest landed that I have seen was a high single. Its secure at night, there is very little litter, the Bailiffs, especially Trevor, are very clued up on the fish and the lake. Even better is you can have breakfast delivered to your swim.
