GLOUCESTER Park regular Sid Hammond enjoyed a hectic session at the venue's cockle bank when he landed more than 20 carp.

Hammond fished a quivertip, casting a varirty of baits close to the Basildon lake's island to land fish steadily throughout his visit.

And despite returning the bigger double figure specimens straight to the water the angler finished his day with more than 100 pounds of fish in his extra large net.
