Northlands Park consists of some seventy acres of woodland, copses, grassland and lakes. It is controlled by Basildon District Council. Northlands Park comprises two coarse fishing lakes, which total six and a half acres. Northlands Park is best known for its big bags of quality bream, its big carp, and its pike. There are also the roach and tench, plus a smattering of big perch, crucians, chub, and a few big eels. The pike fishing season opens on September 1st and closes on March 31st. Keepnets allowed. No bait bans in force. Reader feedback: I have fished Northlands Park in Basildon, Essex for 26 years. It's on my doorstep and have not fished anywhere else. Mick T,oomer managed these lakes also several others in Essex. He provided excellent fishing in Northlands Park and built new swims and also swims for disabled anglers. This park was always packed with anglers. Recently Mick Toomer lost his job and the fishery has been taken over by different management. Stocks of carp were put into the lakes and had disease, swims have been covered with hard shingle unsuitable to put any rod rest in. It has been turned into a haven for carp anglers only, no disabled swims and if there was, how can a disabled person put there bank stick into hard ground designed only for carp anglers with pods. There are dead fish everywhere and anglers and hot weather are to be blamed so they have now put a keepnet ban. When keep nets were allowed with permission, I have fished these lakes for 26 years during some very hot summers. I have never had to get permission to use keepnets or having them banned. The reason for dead fish is because the carp they restocked were diseased, not from anglers or the hot weather. Please bring back Mick Toomer and let somebody who knows what he is doing manage Northlands Park, not cowboys. Want to add a review of Northlands Park?
