[Thecarpsharp]

Hi all im new to hear and thought id introduce myself iv just moved to stafford love carp fishing was walking the dog at trentham the ither day and got talking to a fellow angler thinking of joining.

Its £210 for the year it looked weedy and shallow but done some research apparantly a few lumps in there if anyone had any thoughts ir experiences that would be great!

And its neally 90 acres and no cars but i dont mind that haha

Thank you for the warm welcome

Do many people fish here? £210 a year sounds like quite a lot but I'm quite close by so it could be good place to go.

[newmarket]

Is it a syndicate ? If so £210 is cheap imo

It's the same lake someone else was discussing.

 

There's a few comments there, mainly Hawkman who has fished it.

If its a syndicate then it should be quiet , well looked after and usually a pleasure to fish as you will feel part of a team knowing that all the other members will be as responsible as you are for the welfare of the fish .

Regardless of stock levels .

 

I dont know the place but at £210 i reckon its a steal .

My day ticket venue charges £200 just for membership and i still have to fish with the numpties.

Go for it matey

I think you have to make your own mind up. £210 is cheap compared to some syndicates.

 

Different syndicates will suit different people. You need to weigh it up on what you want from your fishing.

 

£210 vs day ticket prices at £20 for 24 hrs works out at good value over a year if you get out enough.

 

Then you need to work out if it has a stock that interests you. Some people will pay silly money to chase specific fish or a high number of 30+ fish. If you're just happy being on the bank then stock is less important.

 

Where in Stafford are you? Some clubs are good value Blackfords progressive angling near Stafford have some good looking waters and is £30 per rod for a season. There's some others as well. That might offer more variety than just one lake.
