Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 8/9

Catfish started to feed up ready for the Winter months at Town Parks Fishery this week.

Plenty of Catfish, too many to list individually, came to the bank with 7 fish over 30lbs being taken in one 24 hour period!!

Saltash junior Corey Snell had a great session from peg 3 at Town Parks Fishery when he fought and landed his very first Catfish. The fish fell to luncheon meat and weighed 20lbs 1oz!!

Visitor Steve Ball had a great session from peg 11 banking Cats of 35lbs 3oz and 21lbs 2oz complimented by a brace of Common Carp to 18lbs 8oz! Halibut pellet tipped with pop up sweetcorn proving effective.

On the adjoining peg Will Battersby also did well taking is first Catfish along with 3 more, 25lbs 1oz, 21lbs 4oz, 21lbs 6oz and 17lbs 8oz! Crab and mussel boilies intended for Carp proved irresistible.

Local rod Andrew Dack fished from peg 9 and banked 2 cats of 33lbs 3oz and 30lbs 9oz!

Saltash junior Corey Snell enjoyed the battle bringing his first Catfish to the bank which tipped the scales at a fantastic 20lbs 1oz! Bait - Luncheon meat offered towards the central bar.

Town Parks Fishery regular Brian Leamy visited peg 12 and continued his recent run of fish banking this fine Catfish, one of 3, and a good Ghost Carp of 16lbs 3oz!

Brian Leamy visited peg 1 and fished halibut pellet in the margins around the willow tree.

Leamy’s bait was soon taken and a fine Cat of 30lbs dead was on the mat! Leamy also took 2 more Cats of 21lbs and 18lbs as well as a nice Ghost Carp of 16lbs 3oz.

Little Charlie Annan fished the Specimen Lake at Town Parks Fishery with dad Karl.
Charlie was overjoyed to catch his first Catfish although it wasn't the biggest fish in the lake!

One unnamed angler from Birmingham fished from peg 12 intending to bank his first Catfish.

He was overjoyed by the end of his session when he had banked no less than 10 Cats!

The top Match Lake also fished well albeit a little more sporadically after the colder nights.

Lee Hunt took a large bag of Carp from peg 10 offering pellet up in the water.

Once again Rod Metcalfe had some cracking sessions from various pegs finding the fish in the margins later in the day. Luncheon Meat and pellet offered very close in resulted in bags to the 100lbs mark on most visits!
