Bitterly cold weather and heavy frosts resulted in the postponement of the Devon Air Ambulance charity match at Town Parks This week.
Both lakes froze although Matt Pickup and Richard McMahon opened up the ice on two of the swims on the Match Lake to fish. Pickup chose peg 17 and was amazed to bank over 25lb of Silvers and a 4lbs Carp from deep fished maggot! McMahon, on the other hand fished the shallows in front of peg 9 and only took 10 small Roach all day!!
The lower Specimen Lake had free flowing water around the inflow near pegs six and seven and regular Dave Osmond took advantage of the conditions to take 3 Carp to 15lbs 5oz from the edge of the ice. Osmond fished red maggot which accounted for two of the fish and a single slow sinking 10mm coarse pellet for the other larger fish!
Regulars Mick and Malcolm, from Grand Central Bar also fished the ice free water chasing the Silvers and banked some excellent Roach to the 2lbs 8oz mark!
Hopefully the planned Specimen Lake Charity Match this Sunday will be fishable and there are a couple of pegs remaining for the 07.45 draw.
Cash and Tackle prizes are up for grabs for an all in entrance fee of £20.
