They do breed, but have an almost zero survival rate.What’s the reason for the carp not breeding well?
what about the lake andy ,how big and deep is it, and do you ever have to put some thing in the lake to keep water clean ,My place is an old gravel pit mate and originally the fish would have been stocked by the first angling club that controlled it. Most of the species then breed successfully enough to sustain their populations. Carp don't breed successfully in a lot of lakes (such as mine) and need restocking from time to time. And they're not cheap!
The Pool is just under two acres and the deepest area is around 6ft. Probably around 4.5ft average.what about the lake andy ,how big and deep is it, and do you ever have to put some thing in the lake to keep water clean ,
We don't catch the little ones, they get eaten long before we have a chance to stick a great big hook in them.I'm not surprised they don't servive ,with you lot sticking big hooks in there faces and chucking them about.
Is that your own lake . Looks nice.Life's too short to worry about a bit of mud on my reels mate.
At least today they're off the ground though.View attachment 55520

they have more right than usI certainly wouldn't be encouraging them to be anywhere near my place.
Quite literally mate. Wanted it almost all of my life.Living the dream mate.
Not to my fish they don't.they have more right than us
Andy why was your lake man made ?Not to my fish they don't.
Mine is a man-made lake so not their natural habitat. Your loch and rivers are entirely different.
5 small lakes in a row. when i asked about them i was told that they where old bomb craters .
Therefore, they were also man-made, were they not?
I recall some BBC program or other, showing old workings, from a camera in a helicopter. I think they were where flint had been 'mined', centuries ago.
Yours a club or syndicate.Quite literally mate. Wanted it almost all of my life.
It an old gravel pit Malc, there are lots in the area. Plenty of gravel pits around Hatfield Peveral as well. Whereabouts in HP were the five lakes Malc?Andy why was your lake man made ?
i was working at Hatfield Peveral a while ago there was 5 small lakes in a row. when i asked about them i was told that they where old bomb craters .

When ive got the chance i fish churchwood fishery in brentwood. Can be hard but nice and peaceful.
Been a few syndicates over the years. Last one near south weald
Thats the one rochetts. Fished sout weald as a kid . Then as an adult did some work for owners of the lake and got on it.Oh didn't realise you were local.
I'm sure it was Churchwood that a few of my mates helped net recently.
Not the little syndicate over the road from the park? Can't remember it's name. Plenty of catfish in

That's it Rochetts. Never heard of Luxborough. Sounds just like when I used to fish The Essex Quarry back in the early/mid nineties, five fish in twenty odd acres. Had the place pretty much to myself. Have you ever fished the Quarry?Thats the one rochetts. Fished sout weald as a kid . Then as an adult did some work for owners of the lake and got on it.
Was on luxborough in chigwell but about 25 acres with about 6 fish
i was in the rear garden. i would guess that any of the locals would know all about them.I'll be nosey and take a look.
When I said 'be nosey' I only meant on Google Earth. I'll ask a couple of people about them, if I remember. Loli was in the rear garden. i would guess that any of the locals would know all about them.
Is that arena . Near lakeside ..if so no.That's it Rochetts. Never heard of Luxborough. Sounds just like when I used to fish The Essex Quarry back in the early/mid nineties, five fish in twenty odd acres. Had the place pretty much to myself. Have you ever fished the Quarry?
No The Essex Quarry is Boreham, just further down the lane from my place.Is that arena . Near lakeside ..if so no.
I tend to like smaller waters . To be honest im usually just glad of a bit of peace
Which syndicate is your mate on?No never really went that way coming from romford. But now closer i want to start looking as i doubt ill get on my mate syndicate anytime soon.
But most of my time is spent running my son all over the country for judo. If we ever return to normal
