Foxhill Fisheries Walsall-any reviews.

[saddler88]

Hello, long time reader first time poster.

 

I uncovered this lake whilst searching for somewhere local during the winter months. Probably late jan/early feb now.

 

Does anyone have any information on the fishing here?

Ive done some googling but most the the stuff i found was abit dated.

Here's a link for some vague information, i really couldnt find anymore info than this.

Any help would be appreciated

 

Thanks

Hello saddler

 

I googled it and got lots of stuff, give Judy a call on the number. It looks a nice place and I would start with corn and meat in the margins after a match.

[carefulcarping]

I have a few mates that used to fish it years ago, going off what stories they have told me, I would give it a miss.

 

Fish are supposed to be battered in there, no fish care shown, or was shown in the past by anglers, and apparently not the most scenic of places to fish.

 

Only going off stories off very good mates, and if its the fishery I'm thinking of in that area then that's what I'm told.

I've heard similar but only heresay. There was a thread/question along similar lines to this one a while back. I'm hopeless with the Search facility, perhaps someone else can find the reference.

I havnt seen that thread, but a good mate of mine lives near and he used to fish it when he started carping, and I trust everything he says.

[jack97]

used to fish here regulary before carping would usually fish the top pool but it can get very busy.

little bro still loves it as its full of small carp average round 5lb

far from good condition fish tho.

Coppice Lane, down near Burntwood?

 

Try the older lake, can't remember what it's called. I've had some good fish out of there and once got proper smashed up by something large, even though I was using 15lb line, straight through.

 

It's a very pleasant place and seldom gets mad busy.

hi saddler you will deff catch at coppice lane, however it is a typical commercial lots of fish with lips missing, i wrote to the owners about it, all they said was they couldnt police the pools all of the time, aint been back since

Yes that's the one pal, it's around 10 miles from me.

 

Ive been fishing for under 6 months but i'm already eager to beat my PB of 8ish pound, i'm not sure whether im ready yet to handle fish into the doubles.

Bit of a silly question sorry but i'd still call myself a beginner. How would a fish lose a lip? Bad unhooking? Barbed hooks or?

they have benn caught so many times and they have that many matches on there and match anglers can be very hasty at unhooking, you also get a lot of people swinging the fish in rather than using their net, all this adds damage to the fish lips get ripped then they are caught again and part of a lip falls off, its sad really because it could be a cracking place if it wasnt so overfished im afraid it is a sign of the times. but to build your confidence and use it as a bit of a training pool it will be ok beware you will get hounded by small carp (stock fish)
