A big thanks to all the lads (and lasses) that helped out at the weekend work party on the Carp Lake, lots got done and a good day was had.
Some nice fish came out too, especially Marcus's 27.4 ghostie.
If the last weeks catches are anything to go by, a few 20's and Seans common at 28, then we could be in for a good year.
Thanks again lads and dont forget the comp starts at the beginning of April.

It's all happening now chaps .... Come on the best fish and fishery in east Anglia roll on summer

said to say i found a death rig hanging in one of the trees today and it was shocking i have informed pete and passed it on and he will be doing on the spot checks this year so make sure your all fishing safe rigs

Quite a few of you have made it in to Carp talk with your catches, that was not down to me sending them off, it down to Scott the Geezer Grants Essex Regional column.
On page 36 of this weeks Carp talk you can vote for Geezer and make him best regional reporter for another year.

Why not show your gratitude a vote for Geezer.

going down the lake at the weekend to try my luck and see whats happing

Oh well it's Monday and all the Lakes are frozen. The ice was thick enough for me to get out on it and practice my Christmas ice skating routine.
Fell over a few times so by the end my leotard was soaked.
Anyway I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2010.

i just want to let you all know that chris is the winner again this year (well done mate) and some of you will know that i was booked on all week this week but personal reasons have stopped me from fishing as i couldnt get into the fishing.also thanks to those that thought i could do it.

We are having a get together and presentation of the Foxearth Trophy at the George and Dragon in Long Melford.It will be on Saturday November the 14th.
Everyone is invited, it will be nice for everyone to get together for a beer.
Dress code: No Camo

Hope you can make it.
Pete

im not worried oldhand ive still got some tricks left

Watch out Bruce mate !

Hi i havent been able to get down to foxearth for a while and was just wondering how its fishing at the moment and also has there been a thirty out yet this year

After having a chat with a few of the Carp anglers we have decided to make a couple of changes to the rules and pricing.
To take the pressure off the water we are now going down to 2 rods but you still have the option to use 3 at an additional cost. Plus now the whole lake is down to 2 rods if
two Anglers share a zone the second Angler now pays an additional half.Eg before the zone was charged at the price of one Angler, but now the secon angler pay an additional half of the zone price.
Example: 24 hr one angler in a zone is £20.00
24hr two anglers in a zone is £30.00

any questions fell free to contact me.

Pete
