About the water

Buckshole Reservoir is a fishing water in Alexandra Park, Hastings, East Sussex. It covers around four acres and reaches depths of 16 feet. The reservoir holds common and mirror carp, with the website reporting a large number over 20lb and several exceeding 30lb. Other species listed are pike, rudd, roach, eels, perch and bream, with bream reported over 6lb. Non-members can purchase day tickets from the bailiff. Night fishing is available to association members and requires a night ticket purchased from a ticket officer. The page also lists tickets as available from AR Tackle in Hastings and Wobbly Rabbit in Bexhill on Sea. A reservoir membership that includes night fishing is available only from AR Tackle; holders can book their nights by telephone rather than buying a separate ticket each time. There is a disabled-friendly swim at the St Helens Road entrance. The stated pike season runs from 31 October to 1 March. Children aged 12 and under must be added to a parent’s or guardian’s membership and fish with that adult. Those aged 13–18 can fish unaccompanied during the day with parental consent and a parental contact number on their membership form. Under-16s cannot night fish; anglers aged 16–18 need parental consent to fish unaccompanied at night.
