jacko43 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Hi, looking for a syndicate water in essex, yeah I know isn't everyone! done the usual internet searches but not finding anything of interest. not especially looking to fish for huge fish, although good if one graces my net, would be happy with doubles 20s and the chance of a few 30s. not originally from the county so finding it hard to get any info. I have been carping for many years so I know what I'm doing, if you see what I mean. just looking for a nice water with a good set of members. Can anyone help? pm if you prefer. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko43 Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Not fussed where, I'm in Leigh on Sea but will travel for the right place. I drive a lot for work so not worried about distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmarket Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Your words "the chance of a few 30's" will be the problem . The well known Essex Day tickets are full of 'em , the hush-hush impossible to get on syndi's have a few obviously but most of the Essex Syndicates that are taking new members are more about the lovely surroundings lovely fish but not quite so big thing .

jacko43 Posted April 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 30s are not my main aim, but equally don't want day ticket waters either, nothing against those that fish them but I like to have idea who I am fishing with. As for the hush hush syndi's, I think I know of most of them, one in particular I would like to have a go on but the waiting list is closed.....so I understand! That's half the problem, getting to find out any info etc. I think we all want to fish in lovely surroundings, It's one of my preferences but equally don't want to be woken at 3 in the morning by yet another single or low double, done all of that years ago. One water I looked at recently was just a barren hole in the ground even if it does have big fish. I know it may sound as if I am asking for a lot, but aren't we all.

I don't think you are asking for a lot , I just think everyone looks for different things from their fishing . I don't get out much at all nowadays but when I do it's more about the peace , relative tranquility and solitude . The one water I'd just love to get on will only let you float fish until you've held a ticket for 3 years I believe . From what I can find out , which isn't much , is that although the Carp aren't massive they are direct descendants of the Carp that Walker and his cronies fished for in the 1940's/50's and therefore membership is much sought after . The ridiculous rule mentioned above keeps away the one trick 30 hunters though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko43 Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Yeah maybe a ridiculous rule but I suppose that in a way is what makes the place much sought after. If the fish are the leney strain I can why....I was fortunate to fish Redmire some 15 to 20 years ago and even more fortunate to catch one, superb looking Carp. Now there's a place which is peaceful and reasonable solitude! I have come across a couple of lakes on facebook and another which I may go and take a look over, keep an open mind and see if I feel comfortable with them. If anyone has any ideas (apart from selling the tackle lol), be good to hear from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper fishing lakes no numpties/rat race etc .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Have a look at Lee Valley Fisheries. Lakes from Hoddesdon/Harlow area all the way down to the edge of London, Walthamstow Reservoirs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakes from Hoddesdon/Harlow area all the way down to the edge of London, Walthamstow Reservoirs Ironically I've spent most of my carp fishing in the lea valley, fished the ressies many many years ago. I'm currently on a syndicate water in Hoddesdon. Would be good to get somewhere in essex as I also belong to a private fishery near cambridge.

salokcinnodrog Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Glen Faba, Nazeing Meads, Bowyers Water and North Met Pit spring to mind https://www.visitleevalley.org.uk/go/fisheries/ Kelvedon and district for a few lakes, or CAPS, but CAPS is quite crowded. I'm on Nazeing myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on Nazeing myself Nazeing's got some good fish, fished Norh Met when I was a youngster, Glen Faba is an unknown source and a huge water, if I had my carp fishing career all over again I think I would have a go on there. And lived 5 minutes from Bowyers, fished it back in the early eighties when hardly anyone else did, best looking lake in the valley. Was a member of CAPS for a year, only really joined for Prestons cos the size of the water but was a bit dissapointed with the place, seemed most of the fish spent a lot of time in the out of bounds area. Then, so would I if I was a carp! may take a look at Kelvedon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
