A group from Robert Owen Foundation enjoyed a morning of tutored fishing on the top Match Lake at Town Parks Fishery this week. Everyone in the group took Roach and Rudd on maggot from the sheltered southern pegs 1 – 6.
Fishing on the Match Lake has been very good with many anglers taking medium bags of both Silvers and Carp.
Birmingham rod Brian Hughes fished peg 1 into the reeds and had a day which he described as “summer fishing”! Fishing on the pole Hughes was initially snapped off six times by very large Carp hugging the reeds. Having changed to an 18 elastic the fish came to the bank eventually amounting to 21 Carp to 10lbs 4oz!
Other anglers reported good catches of Carp one taking 9 to 8lbs 8oz from pegs 1 to 6. The dam wall pegs proved tricky to fish due to the strong Westerly winds although anglers choosing the right pegs did bag up!
The lower Specimen Lake saw the final match of the Torbay Angling sponsored Town Parks Carp League. Although he blanked in the final match the overall winner was Julian Hutton who won over £350!
The Specimen Lake continued to be “peggie” with fish moving freely throughout the night but slower in the daytime.
Bristol anglers Rob Dyer and Chris Jones visited pegs 1 and 16 for a 24hr session. Dyer banked two lovely Mirrors of 21lbs 2oz and 18lbs 3oz on pineapple pop up’s whilst Jones took a good Catfish of 19lbs 7oz a Common of 18bs 6oz and a Mirror of 15lbs 7oz!
Redruth rod Steve Pembleton fished with son Darren on pegs 9 and 10. Steve ran out winner with a fine 22lbs 14oz Mirror and a 15lb 4oz Linear whilst Darren banked a nice Common of 16lbs 7oz! The fish fell to various baits fished in the margins!
