It was always my dream to create fisheries for anglers to fish peacefully, without silly rules and restrictions just like I have enjoyed in most of my own fishing. I think I’m about there now and will always do my best to maintain this and improve it where possible. Bayeswater doesn’t need much introduction, or advertising, especially with today’s social media so you’ll see this web site is very basic.

Back in 2004 I managed to secure a lease on 2 new dug lakes in Essex. This coincided with moving house which freed up a little money to start to create Bayeswater Fishing. Since then, over the years Bayeswater Fishing has established itself as one of Essex’s premier carp fisheries. It’s become a very busy water, especially the day ticket lake. I’m really pleased with the lakes and hope they have been enjoyed by everyone who has fished there. The lakes have certainly done a lot of PB’s for the anglers over the years which is very satisfying when running waters.

Hopefully there is many more years of fishing to come from Bayeswater lakes.

I’ve since taken on other fishery projects, King’s Court, a lovely little 3-acre water that is now a syndicate, some stock ponds in Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire which we run as a mini fish farm and soon 2 more irrigation reservoirs in Cambridgeshire that will be run as day ticket lakes.

King’s Court is run under the Bayeswater Fishing banner and is already producing a good few 30’s and hopefully soon a 40 or two. As I’ve said King’s is run as a syndicate and there is already a long waiting list, as there is for the Bayeswater syndicate. Unfortunately, both these waiting lists are now closed, already being long enough to outlast me.

My other projects are run as separate ventures, the fish farming being NG Fisheries but Bayeswater has already benefited from the fish farm with several fish in the day ticket lake being stocked to over 20lb (not bad for 6 summer old fish) and more stock already in the Bayeswater stock pond to over 20lb (as I write this 05-04-2022) ready to add to the Bayeswater stock so it’s all linked.

Short and sweet, like me. All I can say is a huge thank you to everyone that has supported Bayeswater in the 18 years it’s been here.
