fieldwanderer Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Going away on the "annual family camping nightmare" in a couple of weeks near Hornsea. I've taken to going fishing for a couple of days to get away from the arguments and general stress so I'm after suggestions of ponds/small lakes in the area. I tend to prefer the small, quiet, hidden away places that generally have few people on them, nothing huge but plenty in the 10lb area to be pretty likely of 1 or 2 a day. Doesn't have to be carp but I do intend to put two feeders out on bite alarms and more or less lounge around and enjoy the peace. Any ideas?

aga man Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Haven't fished in a while, but Ray Fosters at leven was always good for big bream roach tench and some decent carp. There also some day ticket ponds at fosse hill { brandesburton shooting ground}. Plenty of waters around Brandesburton but many now becoming syndicate waters as far as i am aware.

Wilksy II Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Just up the road from humberside shooting ground on the leven Hornsea road is westlands ponds, there's a good tackle shop there aswell, also on the back roads of brandesburton there are ponds called green grass, and billabong (signposted of the main road) and a farmer called Rob Lee has some quiet ponds on day ticket near those, have a good holiday I grew up round there and went to school in Hornsea!

Wb123 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 The shooting ground at brandesburton has some nice ponds and is well worth visiting for a shoot. I miss the place greatly since moving away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general grievous Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I shot there this afternoon with my lad and his new 20g silver pigeon. No more than 6 people fishing the ponds. I spent my early teens in Long Ruston and I live in Hutton Cranswick now so I know most places in the area too. I'm sure you'll find somewhere interesting.

fieldwanderer Posted July 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 ended up at the shooting ground, nothing exciting really but a nice opportunity to relax. The bailiff / groundskeeper was very pleasant and a shooting man so had a couple of short chats when he came around. Biggest of the trip, I doubt it was over 10lb but plenty to keep me happy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilksy II Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Nice pic, I love common carp! I've been snapped off by something very heavy just in front of you, think it could have been one of the catfish, glad you had a good time, there's kingfishers on that pond aswell always nice to see!

scolopax Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I don't do any sea fishing myself but from what friends tell me I think the Holderness beaches produce bass, thornbacks and smoothhounds during the summer. Slightly further north there is Filey brigg, a noted rock mark for wrasse, Pollack, codling etc and lots of mackerel if you fish for them.

AberFowl Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Does anyone know if the sea fishing is any good or anywhere close by thats worth a cast ? I am going on holiday up there soon and woulnt mind spending a bit of time on the beach. Filey Brigg is good, be safe though. Cloughton and hayburn Wyke just north of Scarborough have a couple of good deep gulleys that produce some good cod codling in the early and late months of the year.Scalby mills also used to produce good codling for me. Lug and squid best catchers. Marine drive (Scarborough) was a regular haunt for me, high tides on a hot summers evening, great for whites and mackerel with the odd pollock too Edited July 20, 2017 by AberFowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
