I know exactly what you mean Nigel just along there is the marina and I've seen some huge carp in there I've even stood in the car park next door throwing mixers over the fence and watching them take with no hesitation.
I have been tempted to hop the fence but common sense prevailed and plus I like to relax when fishing not looking over my shoulder.
I have been considering paying a few quid for a syndicate of some sort to get the peace and quiet and seclusion I'm yearning for but for the same sort of money I could have a boat on the Thames.
I think I'll be investing next year.
Well once I run it past the boss anyways!
