Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 29/4

Another busy week at Town Parks Fishery resulted in plenty of action as the fish continued to feed well. Catfish came to the bank in numbers with a few lucky anglers banking their first or personal best fish!

Cornwall rod Simon Benson fished an exciting session from peg 5 taking five fish including a good 24lbs 8oz Catfish and a 22lb 2oz Mirror. The fish were taken mid water on worm!

Mark Haslam banked his personal best Catfish of 14lbs 1oz which took a XL 30mm multi flavoured boilie fished mid water from peg 11.

Jeff Weller took two Carp overnight from peg 2 including a stunning Fully Scaled Carp.

River Trent rod John Evans fished his first session on the Specimen Lake in atrocious weather conditions and banked his personal best Carp. The fish was one of several taken from peg 2 fishing alongside Mark Groft who was showing Evans the ropes!

River Severn rod John Evans decided to try his hand on the Specimen Lake at Town Parks Fishery for the first time and was rewarded with this fine personal best Carp.

Exeter rod Ron Bourne showed his sons how to do it by taking two good Mirrors of 16lbs although son Pete banked a fine Common of 19lbs 1oz whilst Steve Bourne took a beautiful Leather of 18lbs 2oz.

Halibut pellet and day glow pop up’s proved successful.

Regular visitor Scott Farrar visited peg 1 and Town Parks Fishery and banked this very pretty Carp which was taken from the side of the main island.

On the top Match Lake excellent bags of Silvers and Carp were reported.

Bob Hewitt fished a short session from peg 1 taking three Carp to 9lbs on pellet. After Hewitt left the peg regular Rod Metcalf took over and during a three hour session he banked 19 Carp!

The Carp were feeding deeper than of late probably due to the amount of cooler fresh water that has entered the Lake during the unusually wet period!

Silvers were up in the water earlier in the week and a group of Brownies enjoyed a tutored session with everyone taking fish - some fish approaching the 2lbs mark!

Bream showed along the dam wall falling to corn and coarse pellet.
