Two of us in our 70s are looking for somewhere to spend a few days general still water coarse fishing, probably in September. We want waterfront accommodation by swims which are suitable for slightly restricted mobility (artificial knees & hip). Location needs to be within reasonable reach from mid-Kent & south Lincs. Any polite suggestions would be appreciated !!!

Looking for a suitable venue for a break with a friend towards the end of Sept. Needs to have accommodation close to bankside for pleasure angling within 100-150 miles from London. I have slightly impaired mobility so need flat swims. Any suggestions/recommendations would be most appreciated.

Thanks very much , guys, for the advice. I will look at all the possibilities. Jim

Some advice would be much appreciated. I have for some time been float fishing waters where carp run at about 5-10 lb - sometimes larger. I have been using a 13ft Shimano match rod & have the feeling that, as excellent as this rod is, I ought to be using something a little "beefier". I enjoy using the float. Any ideas ?

Many thanks for all the responses - I shall try to take on board all the advice & experiment. Regards Jim

Some advice please.I am about to match up a Hyperloop FA 390 & a Stradic 4000 for the fist time to fish a water where 10lb carp can be expected. Obviously I need as small as possible diameter line as possible relative to its strength. Any suggesrions please ?

Thanks for your time , Charlie. I will have a good look around. Jim

Sorry - its the Suffolk one !!!!

I am meeting a friend for s day's pleasure fishing in Sudbury next week.Has anyone any venue suggestions, please?

Try Worms Direct near Maldon,Essex. http://www.wormsdirect.co.uk I have collected from them before moving to Lincolnshire but have not used them on-line.Good value.

I hve just moved from Essex to Langtoft nr Market Deeping and would be appreciative of any advice about the nearest good fishing--still water preferably --but....There is a Deepings AC but I cannot find any contact details.
