3 Spires Pool, Fradley, Behind the fradley arms just off the a38
This is where i have been fishing the most because there is not one day you will go without catching at least one fish. This is the best pool i have been since i have started fishing.I am a member of the pool and i respect all the rules and regulations because the pool is in very good condition. The fish vary in sizes and i think the biggest one in here is about 30lb to. Me andmy friend fish this pool nearly everyday we get chance sunny or rainy. This medium sized pool has got all varieties of fish and even cross breed such as common cross koi which are beautiful fish. You dont even have to go heavy on your outfit, if there is two of you all you have to do is one float fishes and the other one bottom feeds. The peg we normally go on is where there is a tree to the left of the peg which the water goes deep underneath and in front of you about 45ft out is an island so when your float fishing, you put your float right under the tree and the person bottom feeding puts his bait just left of the island but just off the bank so the bait drops off the ledge.
My biggest was caught float fishing undernath the tree. As i was watching my float it started bobbing up and down and then it started moving out towards the island so i struck but i put my rod to the left because i didn't want it to go underneath the tree. After 10mins of fighting the fish i eventually got it to the bank and had it weighed it weighed just over 14.5lb which is my biggest at the moment, but when the new season starts i am wanting to tavel around and about so if any body has got any good suggestions where are good spots to go fishing i would be more than pleased.
Any suggestions and helping tips are always helpful.

Fisherwick Lakes
Fisherwick Lakes in the heart of Whittington, Lichfield.
"A carp so big she couldn't lift it herself"
There was a girl from Lichfield called "Rosie Instone" who showed great passion for specimen fishing when she landed a heavy, hard hitting 23lb mirror carp on the specimen lake. When she landed the fish and got it on the bank, her dad had to come and help her lift it because the fish was to big for herto lift on her own.
Fisherwick lakes is a very good place to go because you have got more than one lake to fish on and for 5quid for one rod and 6quid for two you can't go wrong. for the hole year i think its 60quid but fisherwick has never failed me on one day.
It has seven lakes and pools which all have there own different fish in it, and they all vary in size from little tiddlers upto the biggest which i think was caught last year at 32lb in the specimen lake.
There is a pool called triangle pool because its in the shape of a triangle, and that is where i caught my first biggest carp which weighed just over 10lb and that was on floating japanese pellets 5mm. I would tell you what they were but a man give them me because he didn't want them and he said to try these off the surface of the water. the hole packet was japanese you couldn't understand nothing and it was in a red and white packet with gold writing. I chucked a couple out and i put a weighted float on and my hook lenght was about 3ft away from the float, and BOOM the common carp came up and took mine straight away and that gave me a good fight.

Nicking off one another
One thing all carp anglers have in common is their tackle box. I was fishing last weekend when one of my mates popped round for a chat and a brew. I’d not long finished setting up and my own tackle box was out in full view. As he sat down on my guest chair he commented that all anglers like routing through other peoples tackle boxes and promptly started routing through mine whilst I made a brew. My tackle box is a shakespeare box which is a good, sturdy, reasonably priced, medium sized box which has alot of storage. But as i was saying all angler's search through each others boxes so one day i will have a good range of gear and then the next day my mate has half of my hooks and floats in his box lol. I will get my revenge when i take his whole box of goodies.
Let's get started
Canal, Burton Angling, Marston's stretch, Burton Upon Trent
The very first time i started fishing was the day my friend said he was going down the canal to catch some small fish. I thought i wouldgo down with him just to see if fishing is for me, and since that day i try and go fishing as much as i can when i get the days off work. We were only on the canal for no longer than 1hr and a half and we had caught a fair few fish from perch, gudgeon, roach, tench, small bream and also small common carp. Since i only had a couple of goes because i was practicly poaching because i had no liscences, but i still caught my very first perch and ever since that day i've always fished.
When we finished on the canal i went straight round to the Burton's angling society and signed up to have a canal liscence, and then i went to the post office and brought a rod liscence to. The next day i went down with a little kingfisher canal rod with a cheap leeda reel and if i remember 4lb line and a size 16 or 18 hook, and i had a pint of maggots and bread crumb ground bait.
That day i was all geared up and ready to hit the canal, i stayed on the stretch of canal for 2hrs and i caught around 20 small fish and my very own biggest record which was a 1lb common carp which i was bursting for joy for. The fight the little nipper gave me was amazing because i was using such a light outfit i also had my very first 1lb chub out of the same stretch to.
Canal fishing is great for beginners just starting up i highly recommend it to anyone because even if you don't know really how to fish, you can't really make a huge mess of canal fishing.
