Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 19/2

Excellent catches have been reported from Town Parks Fishery this week.

The Specimen Lake has been on particularly good form with plenty of Carp coming to the bank.

Plymouth rod Tom Purdy continued his run of catches with an excellent session banking 7 Carp, the best a fine personal best Mirror of 25lbs 8oz. Purdy banked a beautiful fully scaled Mirror from peg 1 early in his session but he decided to immediately move to peg 3 much to the surprise of other anglers. During the rest of his session he was in the thick of the action. Purdy’s PB came from the bar just to the left of the main island and, like the rest of his catch fell to two 10mm Cell boilies popped up.
