Plenty of action on both lakes at Town Parks Fishery saw anglers having great sport.
The top Match Lake
Local rod John Stevens had a great day taking a large bag of Silvers on the maggot then banking 15 Carp to 8lbs 3oz on the pellet waggler.
Fishing from peg 10 Stevens Carp fell to banded pellet and came from tight to the side of the main island whilst most of the Silvers were taken mid water.
Anglers along the dam wall also saw plenty of action with the Carp coming to the bank in numbers.
Brian Gadd took 35 during a night session that saw fish to the 10lbs mark! Once again coarse pellet proved successful although some fish fell to small strawberry boilies!
On the lower Specimen Lake
Fishing halibut pellet and cell boilies both anglers banked Catfish to 22lbs 5oz although three fish were lost after breaking free!
Two “massive” Cats also escaped the rod of Plymouth
Catfish runs are often very fast after the fish has played with the bait for a while. Anglers see their droppers moving slightly several times while the fish checks out the bait. Suddenly the Cat will pick up the bit and run, usually towards their lair or around the nearest snag! If you are not quick enough to pull the hook home and tighten the line you are almost certainly going to loose the fish! Once hooked the fish will often shake its head to try to “grind” through the line – several 25lb leaders have been easily parted recently!
The Town Parks Saturday club kicks off tomorrow with juniors, or anybody who would like to try their hand at fishing, enjoying a tutored session with all bait and tackle supplied.
