steve1exeter Posted December 29, 2009 Report Posted December 29, 2009 Have been fishin at Hogsbrook lakes nr Exeter. Loads of big doubles and few 20+. Have reliable info on the seasons best 32lb. £275 syndicate but well worth the cash. (approx a fiver a week) Think this place has been overlooked because of being a mixed fishery with the occasional match. Very quiet weekdays and in great surroundings with toilets, shower etc. Two lakes approx 2.5 and 1.5 acres. NO, i am not the owner trying to drum up business, just a carpy passing on GOOD info. (Guest tickets are a tenner a day if you can get a member to take you). Will def go again and be joining in April 2010. Quote
budleighboy Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 Hi -----------yes these lakes are very good ( I am a member ) The Syndicate is strictly limited to 100 places, and the sensible rules are also properly enforced. If like me you are a "loner" , then mid-week is your time. Contact Woodbury Park Golf Club ( the owners ), for membership application. Regards David Quote
tel90 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Posted February 8, 2010 sounds good gents. i'm form over torquay way, are their any good day ticket venues over east devon way??????????????????????? Quote
steve1exeter Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Posted February 8, 2010 With the fishing and surroundings at Hogsbrook it would be cheaper and better for you to join there on April 1st than trudging around the overfished puddles in that area at about £8-£10 a time. It only works out at about a fiver a week. Quote
binfield Posted February 8, 2010 Report Posted February 8, 2010 I'm moving to exmouth in july from berkshire and i am looking into waters in the area. I currently fish yateley, wreysbury and dinton and have been struggling to find a syndicate with a good head of big fish in the area. I have applied to a syndicate in cullompton ,Do you know of any more around the exeter area that are taking on new members. Quote
tel90 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Posted February 9, 2010 Not to sure bout syndicate waters but checkout, southwest west lakes trust, they got queit alot of waters dotted around devon and cornwall, some wit carp to over 40lb. otherwise checkout newton abbot fishing association, they've got a nice 9 acre ex clay pit known as dores with carp to over 30lb, it's restricted to full member season ticket holders but they're not to hard to get your hands on.

binfield Posted February 9, 2010 Report Posted February 9, 2010 Ive checked out swlt and the res outside of exeter looks a good place so does the ship canal. Newton abbot aa has restrictions on it to people living within a set distance from newton. I think swlt will be my best bet. Maybe catch you on the bank sometime. Quote
steve1exeter Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Posted February 9, 2010 Check out Hogsbrook Lakes. £275 a year, two lakes, toilets, showers, parking, camping. Lots of doubles, twentys. Nobody really knows how big they go. Freindly syndicate with approx 50 members at the moment but growing. (max 100) I've been fishing it on a guest ticket but will def be joining this year! Quote
aic Posted April 27, 2010 Report Posted April 27, 2010 Hogsbrook is basically two carp puddles of a couple of acres or so. Nothing wrong with them, I used to fish them myself when they were day ticket but we're not talking about yateley, wreysbury and dinton here! SW Lakes Trust waters sound more suitable. Quote
