Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 5/8

Good catches were reported from both lakes at Town Parks Fishery this week.

The lower Specimen Lake continued to produce Catfish in numbers with some fine fish banked. Matt Green fished overnight from peg 10 and took several Cat’s, the best 23lbs 4oz which fell for luncheon meat.

Exeter rod Matt Green fished an overnighter form peg 10 at Town Parks Fishery and banked this fine 23lbs 4oz Catfish which fell for luncheon meat offered mid water. The fish was on of several taken throughout the night.

 

Exeter Rod Dan Butterworth also took several Catfish which provided some excellent sport!

Carp came on and off the feed looking like they were readying themselves for spawning although as the cooler weather came in the fish returned to normal feed patterns.

Some Carp fell for dog biscuit floated on the surface during the day with Roger Black banking a fine Mirror of 21lbs 4oz.

Other Carp chose to feed on the bottom during the early morning or early evening with many fish banked during these times!

The top Match Lake saw large bags of Silvers and Carp coming to the net.

Rod Metcalf got the Carp feeding well on coarse pellet and banked 100lbs plus bags on several occasions.

The Fish-A-Thon in aid of the Firemans Benevolent Fund finished on Friday following a week of continuous fishing by Firemen Steve Wright and Kevin Carter.

The pair banked fish throughout the week alternating between the Specimen and Match Lakes to provide some variety.

Final weights will follow but the pair did bank 100’s of pounds worth of fish.

Hundreds of pounds of donated money has been raised with the final figure still awaited!

Steve and Kevin are already busy organising next years challenge which will hopefully see an inter emergency services match raising funds for their respective benevolent funds!
