Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 22/1


Changeable weather conditions saw anglers testing different baits to attract the fish at Town Parks Fishery this week.

Baits that produced good bags one day failed to get a bite the next!!

The Match Lake, in particular fished better for anglers who did their watercraft and varied baits.

Brian Roberts moved around the lake during a day session and managed to attract Carp to the 9lbs mark on various baits although sweet corn did particularly well!

Roach are still up in the water with junior anglers using whips taking fish on maggot to 2lbs.

Bream have been a little elusive with only a few catches reported.

On the lower Specimen Lake fishing proved testing although many anglers reported fish moving around most pegs.

Dave Pierce did manage to bank a Carp after numerous runs throughout a night session. The Common tipped the scales at 19lbs 9oz and fell for a white chocolate boilie offered mid water from peg 14.

Catfish are still moving around with Steve Roberts fighting one, described as “very large” all the way to the net only to loose the fish as it pulled the hook! A large 30mm mixed flavour boilie proved irresistible!

Some very large Roach have been banked by various day anglers targeting Silvers around the lake. Castor and maggot continue to be the best bait although some fish have taken small hookable pellets!
