Venue File - Suffolk Water Park, Bramford, Suffolk
The emphasis at Suffolk
Water Park is on comfort, security and great sport. The 25 acre Big
Fish Water holds some fantastic looking fish including the catchable
"Grey Tail" who I believe has gone to over 40lb's.

The lake is a horseshoe shape
with two main bay areas, the first comprises "the
cafe bank" and "shallows" (top of picture,
left) and is on average around 5-6ft deep. this side
has gravel spots and in the summer can get very
weedy.
The back area (bottom of picture, left) is
generally deeper, and is known to hold fish in
Autumn and Winter, with the snag areas producing
well.
The carp do shoal up and getting on the end of a
new wind can be the difference between a blank and
an awesome session.
Fishing big PVA bags of pellets scores well, as
Slug found out (see pic below), and a lot of the
fish are stunning.
There's everything you need at this place including; toilets,
showers and a great cafe which delivers food directly to your swim
if required. A nice touch.
Trevor the bailiff is more than helpful, he in fact goes out of his
way to put you on the fish.
Forum member "Slug" with a 28+ SWP fish
Upon choosing your swim and paying for a permit (Trevor taps on an
extra hour to allow you to set up, nice), if fishing on the spit,
Trevor will take you and all your gear round to your swim in his
four wheel drive "Gator", class. If you fancy a move, give him a
buzz and he'll pick you up again!
This comfort comes at a price though, the Water Park can get very
busy at times.
There are members on the
