Essex-Fishing

hi all

i am new to this forum , having recently returned to fishing after a few years break . i am currently a member of doe's
and have been fishing welham mere at roxwell. with some excellent
result's with carp to just nudging 20.
but was thinking of trying beeleigh top lake, does anyone know what the carp stock is in here i have heard it has fish to 30 pounds.
even though it was only dug around 10 years ago.

any info very welcome

Fished it a few times about 3 years ago but to be honest it seemed to be full of smaller fish.

I heard the rumour about the 30 but not too sure myself, if i had a double it was a good fish.

I also fished Roxwell before does had it, never had such manic sport. Just used massive method feeders and couldnt keep two rods in the water at once. Is it still as easy mate??

hi duffer

thanks for the reply
welham mere is still fishing well . i usually use a small pva bag of pellets
with a boilie hookbait and stick it as close to the far bank reeds as i dare it's a carp motorway out there.
with the other rod in the nearside margins.
a short early morning session lasting 4or 5 hours will usually see around 5 or 6 fish which average around 9-12 pounds with a good few mid doubles
surface fishing can be superb in the evening as well. my best was 9 fish in 3 hours to 15 pound must have had a total weight of almost 100 pounds + it does not get hammered. 4 other anglers is the most i have ever seen.

think i will take a rain check on beeleigh until i hear more
did have a walk round a few days ago and saw only a few small fish in the margins

many thanks
