Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 25/08

Both Lakes fished exceptionally well at Town Parks Fishery as the settled weather kept the fish on the feed.

The Specimen Lake saw anglers taking Catfish and Carp from the surface and also along the deeper margins.

Once again Matt Skelly led the charge taking 19 fish during a 24hr session from peg 9!

Plenty of floaters offered towards the central bar proved fatal for the hungry Carp as fish after fish fell to the bait with the hook!! Best of the bunch around the 20lbs mark – excellent sport!!

Catfish also fell the anglers baits with many fish coming to the net.

Local Tris Smith offered his worm bait from peg 3 at Town Parks Fishery and was rewarded with this fine Catfish of 24lbs 5oz.

Tris Smith banked a good sized Cat of 24lbs 5oz from peg 3 fishing worm mid water whilst Jim McCourt took a great Cat, float fishing worm from peg 9. McCourt’s fish tipped the scales at  27lbs 5oz!   

Oliver Barnett netted a fine Common Carp from peg 1 which fell to a Cell boilie offered under the overhanging willow tree to the left of the peg.

Local rod Oliver Barnett fished form peg 1 at Town Parks Fishery and banked this fine condition Common Carp which fell for a Cell boilie offered in the margins.

 Andy Meredith fished from peg 16 with son Josh netting 3 good Carp. Josh took a nice Linear Mirror of just over 15lbs!

Josh Meredith fished from peg 16 with dad Andy at Town Parks Fishery. The pair took three Carp with Josh taking this fine Common of just under 16lbs!

The top Match Lake also fished well.

Rod Metcalf had some fantastic sessions taking up to 120lbs of Carp per visit!

Coarse pellet fished on the waggler from dam wall pegs did the trick!

Many other Carp came to the bank falling to various baits including maggot, meat and corn.

Silver continued to feed well. Large bags were taken from many pegs by juniors and seniors alike. A few Tench showed this week – mainly from the shallower pegs 5 to 10.
