Having had a Chelmsford Angling Association ticket for three years, I thought it was about time I set foot on one of the club’s many waters for an overnighter between work.
I decided to do my first night on Wicks Mere, which has been on CAA’s books for over 20 years and holds many stunning fish up to around 41-42lb, the biggest of which is a long, dark, sought after common. As I went through the gate and drove down the field to the water’s edge I was pleasantly surprised how nice the Mere looked. I had a quick walk around and chatted to a couple of anglers on my way. As I walked along the far bank I noticed a number of carp topping, so that made my mind up where I was plotting up for the night.

Around the venues If I told you in Staffordshire there is a fishery with pools within which the average carp is currently over 30lb, you’d be interested, wouldn’t you? What if I told you it’s not a syndicate or a club venue, but is available for all to fish on a day-ticket basis? Still interested? Then check out Baden hall Fishery, where the Quarry is starting to wake up and big fish are on the move.
