Carp go as far as docklands, I won't say anymore about that except there are some real biggie's there.

I didn't know there were carp near the docklands!
I live quite near there so without saying too much can you just give me a rough idea of their whereabouts? Pretty please!

I think Docklands is the most underestimated Carp potential water in the South East, the Carp in there are huge, not easy to catch but huge all the same, I saw a 40lb+ carp rise when I was working there 2 years ago that came up for a chip believe it or not... I stood there stunned for a minute or 2, you could have fitted a tennis ball in it's mouth.
