Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 29/9

With the continued settled weather conditions the fish stayed on the feed at Town Parks Fishery this week.

The Specimen Lake produced great sport with Catfish and Carp freely taking the anglers baits.

Steve Wright fished a session from peg 1 choosing Halibut flavour luncheon meat which he offered mid water. Within minutes of casting out Wright’s reel screamed off and he struck into a good sized fish! Eventually the Catfish was brought to the net and banked. The fish was Wright’s personal best hitting the scales at 30lbs 3oz!

Plymouth fireman Steve Wright banked his personal best Catfish at Town Parks Fishery. The 30lbs 3oz fish fell to a lump of luncheon meat offered mid water from peg 1.

Local rod Nathan Giddy banked his first, and second Catfish taking fish of 26lbs 2oz and 22lbs 4oz from peg 11!

Fishing partner Jay Harper had great sport on peg 9 taking 8 Carp to 19lbs 8oz whilst on peg 10 Joe Dawson had a 19lbs 4oz Cat and a couple of high teens Carp.

Many Carp, too many to list individually, came to the bank with most pegs producing fish.

The current water temperature is 16.8 degrees and shows no sign of dropping due to the warm weather – The Catfish will continue to feed up ready for the Winter lay up!!

On the top Match Lake sport was also good.

Bags of up to the 100lbs mark of Carp were reported by several anglers as the fish took coarse pellet and dead maggot offered up in the water.

Some large Carp have been taken and the Fishery would like to remind anglers that any fish over the 10lbs mark should be reported to the Bailiff so the fish can be moved to the Specimen Lake to grow on.


Silvers fed throughout taking small cubes of meat, maggot and castor. A couple of Tench were also reported, one taking a boilie offered for Carp!
