Catch Report: 30lb Essex Manor

Having booked myself onto this day ticket only, little Estate Lake, in Essex for the third time, I had already been working out the lake dynamics throughout my time on the bank. The lake has a small stock of fish in an area the size of two football pitches, with the max depth of 6ft in a small area and the rest of the lake rising to 4ft. The lakebed makeup was silt upon silt, at least a depth of a ft covered its entirety.
