bissami Posted July 6, 2009 Report Posted July 6, 2009 Hi All, Im new to this forum so a big hello from me, My name is Barry and i moved up to Woodend near Tamworth in Staffordshire about 6 years ago from Weymouth in Dorset. I have been fishing since i was 8 years old. I would class myself as an average Carp Angler with my biggest being 33 1/2lb common and then my next biggest is 15 1/2lb so i have never caught a 20lb Carp. I was wondering if any of you know a nice lake around this area that i can pick my wits against,I have found some stupid rulings on some lakes ie you can only fish 1 rod for the 1st year etc etc. If anybody can help i would really appreciate it, Thanks all, Quote
nick_o Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Hi Barry welcome to the forum There is another post running the same as this which contains loads of venues for you mate. Try using the search facility and it will come up. On a side note I would recommend Kingsbury water park pine pool if your after a 20 its not far from you and has plenty to go at its not an easy lake but put the effort in and the rewards are definatly there also there is the specimen pool at the Riddings some lumps in there again not the easiest but the fish are definatly there. Hope this helps you fella in your quest for a 20 Nick Quote
bissami Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Posted July 7, 2009 Thanks Nick. yeah i realised that after i posted it so i apoligise for a repeated post, I am going to give Riddings a go soon so i will let you know how i get on, Thanks again, Barry Quote

dave_3 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Posted August 16, 2009 how much is it for bayliss to do a 24 hour session mate ? cheers, tight lines... £9 a day, £15 for £24 hrs. you can use 10 rods if you like the owner doesn't care. you have to pay something like £5 for a none fishing guest. i would recomend you stay clear of this place durring the weekend. its bivvy city Quote
elmovillan Posted August 16, 2009 Report Posted August 16, 2009 Be interesting to see how you get on at the Riddings. I've fished it a few times, without much success admittedly, but its a nice place and you get a wicked breakfast! Theres some nice fish in there and I've always felt nearly there. On a sunny day they like to cruise about and I've seen a couple of jaw-droppers mooching about the swim. Quote
wbajord11 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Posted August 16, 2009 kk, cheers dave i might aswell forget bayliss then because off the posts about this place it seems it is a miss for me then cheers anyway for you help. tight lines Quote
andynovicecarpangler Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 riddings specimen pool PAHH went there last week , wouldnt have minded blanking... but catching a 5-6 lber just takes the mick. 12 quid to catch a 5 lb fish . i could have fished the crucian pool at 4 o`clock for four quid and caught a lot bigger. jokers. they state on there updated website at fisheries.co.uk that there are no fish stocked under 10lb. well thats rubbish for starters . They charge 12 quid a day but yet they dont do the winter work on the pool . wont be bothering again. ill stick to my favourite lakeside,wolvey. people say its a hard pool but if you know how and where to fish it Edited to remove swearing, please don't do it again. Stoogi. Quote
nick_o Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 Ive had a few out of the Riddings this year on the handfull of occasions Ive fished it biggest so far 28lb 8oz Common cracking fish and I had another 20 yesterday the fish are there but it can be tricky I did actually have a smaller Carp than you andy at around 2lb but other than that one Ive had nothing under 15lb apart from the odd tench here and there. I used to be a member of lakeside but it wasnt my cup of tea Bivvy city and loads of singles and low doubles to keep you up all night Quote
