maybe its not the places but the fish you are fishing for. carp are not really a challenge. have you tried fishing for other fish instead?

Carp are not a challenge?? Only if you are fishing a commercial fishery maybe! Carp, and I mean big carp are one of the hardest fish to catch.

Carp, bah, you can't beat a specimen perch caught from a super snaggy river peg.

Nothing fights like a 20lb+ common carp.

Grange farm at Maltby le Marsh, near Mablethorpe. Only open to residents of their first class accomodation. Two fantastic lakes and the accomodation really is top rate. Not a fisherman myself, but people I met there said that the fishing was brilliant. It,s on the net.

I used to hand line 15-20Ib mirror carp from a none commercial pond when I was a kid. They are the easiest fish to catch.

So nothing fights like a 20lb+ Common Carp eh!!!! Obviously you have never Barbel fishing on a good river..... Get yourself to Topcliffe on the River Swale. You can even use all your Carp Tackle (You won't need the bite indicators though as the rods will just fly off the rests). You can even use Carp baits (Boilies, Halibut Pellets) although i still use good old Meat fished over Hemp. Go on treat yourself, you will never go back to Carp fishing after a 30min fight with a Barbel....

try alder fen at wroot. when you get fed up of the carp lake fish the specimen lake for big bream, tench, roach, rudd and roach. i like carp though-they make brilliant live baits for big catfish!

I have fished all over the country for big carp,my biggest been 28.8 mirror from eccalsfield pond she is still in there i just know it.But for numbers of large carp wait till the weather picks up and fish floating chum mixers on the sheffield canal.had a leather out last year just under 28.great fish i often down there in the summer fishing so you no dought will bump into me if ya down there.the leather that was just under 28 was with 3 other fish one of them was well over 30lb but she is mine this year.These fish are not like the fish you get on a reg stocked lake,they have been put in at sometime but these are the oldie gold carp lovely fish.If you fly fish like i do then take the fly rod and have a crack at carp fishing with a chum mixer on and see that fly rod bend like never before.Reco sticking to the section behind the retail park.If fishing the bottom with use bolt rigs and use a bait like lob worms and pellets has the carp dont seem to take to the boiley in box me if you go down i show ya some nice pegs
