Lake Meadows in Billericay, Essex

[Myster]

Hi all,

I have only been fishing for about two months and I went to Lake Meadows in Billericay, Essex and I did'nt have a bite all day we were fishing on the houses bank with maggots and sweetcorn and bread. Has anyone any ideas how to fish here and where the best place is to fish there ???

Thanks Jono

Myster,

 

This fishery is run by Mick Toomer, who also owns Gloucester Park Lake in Basildon. It's noted more as a silver fish venue, with double figure bags regularly taken on pole or waggler tactics. For more informaion go to micktoomer.co.uk

thanks for that paul

To add to what paul has said, if you are a beginner you might find Gloucester Park a better place to start and learn - it's stuffed with fish

 

take a look at http://www.micktoomer.co.uk/

Matt, went and had a look at Gloucester Park last year, although the venue looks great and I'm sure it fishes really well, I refused to leave my car in the car park. When I drove in there was at least 10 different piles of broken glass right next to different parking bays, obviously the local 'characters' have realised that anglers leave their cars and are gone for the day.

TBH I used to go there when I was "between cars" it's only a 5 min walk from the train station and 20 mins from Southend by train

 

The swimming pool carpark seems more secure, but you have to pay for that one.

If you have transport Myster, there are lots of much nicer places to fish fairly local to you than the local parks!

 

 

Try http://www.bdac.co.uk/ - £57 a year for about 2 dozen waters or

http://www.total-fishing-tackle.com/shopco...ype=bridge_lake - very easy day ticket lake, or

http://www.shellangling.com/ - another day ticket lake, some excellent tench and bream fishing in the match lake

No problem Myster, seeing as you're in Brentwood, why don't you pop into Brentwood Angling ? I've been in there a few times and they always seem to know how all the local places are fishing.
