| New here - Venues near midlands? Hi guys - starting out fishing, just brought everything i need including the license. Im from the west midlands area and I was wondering if anybody knew of any decent places around here? A bit of travel is fine and mainly would like too catch carp but obvs im new so anyhting would be good. Id prefer a nice secluded Lake and preferbaly not a fishery just while im starting out. Thanks :)     |

 I was looking at going to babbs mill in Kingshurst, Solihull but have read a few reviews saying carp have been stolen and released into Shard End Lake. Can anybody comment on this who has fished it recently? Thanks  |

| Re: New here - Venues near midlands? Hi Tommo, i'm from bham and have just got into fishing, been trrying a few places out. My favourite ive found so far is a place called lower park fishery in redditch, It's quite a new venue and ive yet to see any more then 4 ppl fishing any of the 4 lakes at any one time. i've always had great days fishing there, biggest being a 5 lb carp... but theres plenty of nice tench, bream and roach in there aswell. other places around i've fished are woods farm in shirley, the reservoir in earlswood and a few of the local canals... not had the best of luck at any of them places though. |

| Re: New here - Venues near midlands? BAA seem about to announce a deal with the council. Might be worth a ticket . As it is , they have loads of water . The lakes are a bit of a trip from Brum . The river Severn, they have loads of and you've got water near you too. Check out there website. __________________ Just remember, not all the heroes died. www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
