Well after my ticket ended at Cotton Farm I was off to Aveley in Essex. So from 5 Acres to 35 I needed to make some changes. This stunning 35 Acre Lake is well and truly off the beat and track, the gate at the main entrance is around three quarters of a mile from the main road. The track leads you on a downward slope into the grounds of the Syndicate. There are two main car parks at both sides of the lake, both at road level with the lake set beneath. This is one of those lakes when you first set eyes on it make you draw a breath. Reed lined, intimate bays, overhanging trees and lots of carpy looking spots. The main body of the lake is around 30 Acres and the smaller part making the rest known as the Trout Lake. Once used for Farming Reeds the lake has all the features you would expect from a Carp lake and more! The Trout and Main lakes are separated by a causeway of reeds that are a real magnet for the carp that can pass between the two.

On Friday night I arrived at my syndicate with 2 nights ahead of me. There was a warm south-westerly trickling down into one end of the lake. This made my choice of swim quite obvious as I knew there would be some fish down there on the warm wind.
I went down to the smaller of the two lakes on my syndicate and planned to do a quick day session.
It’s been quite a while since I wrote my last blog entry. The reason for this is because of health and personal issues I have for now stopped working for AI. My back problems have been a nightmare and I have spent a fortune on Chiropractors, Osteopaths and Acupuncture. The end result is still the same so I’m off for am MRI scan and a consultation with a back specialist soon. Although I have left the company as such it was all on good terms with no ill feelings amongst us and I said I would be happy to carry on writing for the website and I expect I will be helping out at some of the local shows come the winter.
Some of this will sound a little obvious I know but this is me during winter.
