East Ipswich Angling Club

Project Description

We are a small fishing club based in rural Suffolk, our lakes have a combined volume of approximately nine acres, keeping on top of the ever-advancing reed beds and lily pads has always been an arduous task and not forgetting the rising silt levels as the seasons slip by. Over the years our lakes were becoming more and more choked with weed and with milder winters and very few sub-zero temperatures to stunt the weed growth we needed to take action to prevent further loss of fishable water within our complex. We contacted James at the Digger Boat Company and he visited our fishery to carry out a site survey. James was very positive in his attitude to his work and assured up he could most definitely transform our lakes with his equipment. The club committee discussed the proposals James had offered us and decided to take the plunge and invest in having our lakes cleared by James.

Digger Boats arrived at our lakes with his digger boat and spent five consecutive days afloat extracting vast areas of reed beds and lily pads, in total he managed to extract one hundred and twenty tons of reeds, lilies and detritus from our lakes! Were we impressed? Yes, we most certainly were. Everything that had been promised had been delivered; a man true to his word.

Our members were amazed at the transformation of our lakes and at how quickly everything recovered, almost instantly the fish were readily feeding and in abundance, the impact on the surrounding environment was minimal and we now have future seasons to look forward to.

As can be clearly seen from these images the digger boat is very forceful in its approach and extracts one cubic metre of growth on each pass. It was truly amazing the shear volume that was extracted over the five-day period and how much fishable water was reclaimed. James’ masterful control of the digger boat cleared the reed beds right up to the bank with no impact to the fishing platforms around the lake.

In conclusion, we were one hundred percent satisfied with the service provided by Digger Boats, they delivered on all of the promises and much, much, more besides.

We would most definitely use Digger Boats services again and have no hesitation in recommending this company to other angling clubs and endorsing the service provided.

Client Testimonial

Had James at our five acre syndicate and I must say I was very impressed. He did not stop all day and achieved so much for us. Highly recommended.
