I'm about to buy a season ticket for Roath Park lake for the princely sum of 2o quid.

A mate of mine fished there a few times last year and had a thirty/ he has been telling me theres deffo bigger carp in there, as he's seen them.

Is this the cheapest water around for what you can catch?
have any of you guys fished there before?

Give us all a clue as to where it is then! Which county or even which country would be a good starting point!

Ermmmm no chance dude/ ahahahahha


Nah its over ere in sunny south Wales m8,cardiff if ya really wanna know.

i've been a member on a £12 a year (junior price) venue that has a definite 32 in there and reported 37. also on the ticket are nearly a dozen other venues:)

I've paid £17.50 for a licence to fish a water holding a great many big carp. It has countless twenties, a scattering of thirties, and although a forty is unlikely, it's certainly possible. The fishery is called The Nene.

yeah.....I can believe it. I fished on the wakefield Angling Club waters all last year, the book cost £20, and Nostell Priory holds 'The Big 'un' which has turned the fortie mark a couple of times. There are also about 3 other thirties in their waters.

forties are a bit thin on the ground in cheshire,but i can think of a couple of club waters which cost 20 - 30 quid per year,were your in with a chance of a mid,maybe upper 30,depending on the time of year.

Day permits for the motorway cost about 25 quid and it contains yorkshires finest 40. I can think of a few guesting lakes with big carp in and they don't come much cheaper than that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you can't nightfish it though on day-ticket.........can you????
I used to know someone on the syndicate there about 2 years ago. He reckoned it was pretty hard.
Sally Walshes Damn at £5 per 12 hrs (I think it is) isn't bad to say it has a 48 lb fish in it!

Grand Union Canal. £2.50 a day if the bailif turns up, Carp to upper 40s, numerous 20s and a large choice of swims. Not a very wide fishery but it's fu**ing long.

Ah but crafty doesnt that work out at £912.50p a year m8? hahhahahaLOL

LOL. Nice oneCypry, christ you must put n some hours?

i pay 36 quid a year to catch a pukka 40

Bit over budget, but at £28 per year.... 2x40lb, 18x30lb (8 over 35lb) 40x20lb... bit difficult to get in though.... all in under ten acres and as British as they come Long live the Kent River Board fish!!!

£20 a year is a cheap price to pay considering you could catch a forty, but wait a minute, you said Wales ! You wouldn't get me there even if they were giving season tickets away. You must realise that all leisure activities are subsidised in deprived areas !

is that just down the road from korda pete?
named after the next pub on the canal?

Oi Shush We over ere resemble that remark m8.

But things are getting much better recently, we have leccy, gas, an running water now.

We also have the finest stadium in Britain,something you English faggots have taken about 5 years to.
1/ try an get the money
2/ when you did finally get the money it was only the Germans who would lend it to you/
3/ sort out which contractor gives the biggest back hander.
nuff said? LOL

p.s the sheeps are also very nice looking now an all after the foot in mouth episode

dont tell us u have a bird called baabara also?

You've met my missus?

Funny you should mention sheep, my mate and his wife were touring/driving in Wales and saw some bloke in a field mucking about with the sheep, they pulled over and he calls out to this bloke:-

''OI MATE, DO YOU SHEAR SHEEP?''

''No I bloody dont'' matey replies ''Piss off and find your own !!!''

WHERE ABOUTS ON THE NENE AS IM THINKING OF DOING A FEW SESSIONS ON THERE IN NORTHAMPTON

What do you call two sheep tied to a lamp post in Cardiff?


A Leisure Centre!!

No mate.. It's in my home county.. The garden of England...
I drove home yesterday in the rain and there was a large puddle at the side of the road which I couldn't avoid.. I could swear that I felt the wheels run over a twenty...

How about £30 to catch a 50???
Not allowed to say where tho!

I don't know much about that part of the Nene personally, although if I was going to fish it, I would get an Ordnance Survey map of the area, and look for any stretch with features such as side-streams, bays and backwaters. If you just want a big fish, then an area adjacent to or downstream of a carp holding still water would be an obvious choice, although its origins might be open to speculation. Don't worry about fishing any water below Northampton that doesn't have a reputation for carp, as there are so many of them in that part of the river that you certainly won't be wasting your time.
Why not do what I do, and find a place which looks carpy, and where you just enjoy being there. If there are no other carp anglers then all the better.

O.K. you can include the Nene now!
