Hi Andy!
Welcome to TFW! Where to fish for tincas in Essex? Weeeeeeeeeell Had you considered...... Kent?! Seriously, there must be waters that are known for carp but hold good tench? I don't know Essex myself at all (it's 'Over the Water') but carp lakes tend to do good tench, although they may be damaged by the carp angling pressure. I'd suggest asking round in the tackle shop - any of the local lakes hold good tench??? And most carpers will tell of the nuisance doubles they've had. Take 25% off the weight, and you will have a start. There is another thread somewhere near this one called something like "but loads of carp" - some ideas on there for sorting the wheat from the chaff when you are actually fishing. My advice is be friendly to carpers in the tackle shop, but when you are actually fishing tell carpers that you are after eels. They soon bugger off worried that it's contagious. Drew |

Nice one Alf!
There you go Andy...... I really don't think Essex is a Tench-desert - you shouldn't have too much trouble. Hooks Marsh on the Cemex ticket is one I have considered myself. Double figure tench and bream there. The group ticket gives you access to a whole load of waters - including Larkfield - I don't know where you are in Essex, but Larky is about 25 mins from the Tunnel/bridge and 99% motorway. There are swims there where you can get a good view of smoking chimneys and industrial estates, so you should feel at home! There is another thread about Larky/cemex somewhere near this one. Let us know how your plans are going. Drew |
