Ah.

 

Pierced and shaven-headed Carp Clones, you want?

Bally, doubtless, is 100% correct, Jo, but then I tend to confuse - indeed, perhaps even terrify - a certain type... Just try and go fishing, eh?

[joanne]

many thanks for all the advice

 

Will wait for some nice ideas on where to fish

Hello again

I have just found a fishing place called Gosfield in Braintree.

Has anyone her ever fished it? :confused:

 

Many thanks

Bit late to be out looking for places to fish!

Paul, why do you always talk in riddles? I mean, as a professional angling writer, surely you know the value of clarity?

 

Joanne, perhaps, by now, you will have realised that many of us know each other and a bit of micky taking is the norm. Yes, we are a friendly bunch but there is a degree of good natured (!) rivalry between those who support the Countryside Alliance and those who don't, and those who fish for for carp and those who don't! Best ignore it, along with Paul's riddles and conundrums.

 

By the way, the Chelmer Canal is, so I'm told, an excellent place to go.

 

You could always go back to London for the day, one of our posters does very, very well in Dockland!

 

Sorry I can't give you any practical help other than to suggest asking in your local tackle shop.

Hi Joanne, hailing from Essex myself I've tried a few lakes in and around the county. Some I've found pretty good were:

Tylers Common, Brentwood

Puddledock Farm, Upminster

Pea Lane Fishery, Ockendon

Rayne Lodge, Braintree

Hi Joanne and welcome to AN - Just a (serious) word of warning. If you are going to fish RMC waters, they are a bit different. Most waters ban barbed hooks, they ban barbless!!

Must be me love of challenges and anything with a degree of difficulty, Peter - fishing, literary, ladies, life. For me, if it's patently obvious or just plain easy, then it's boring and not what worth doing. I'll try not to be too cryptic in future -- try, at least ... but I really can't guarantee a satisfactory outcome for you... You might just have to put up me!
