Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 20/5

Anglers continued to enjoy excellent sport at Town Parks Fishery this week.

Both Lakes produced fish which fed freely.

On the Specimen Lake Catfish were on the prowl. Tristan Smith stalked around pegs 7 and 8 around 4 am casting worm into the margin. Within minutes he hooked into a very large Cat which ran out into mid water. After a long battle Smith got the fish into the net only for the line to snap and the fish slid out! Having recently banked a 38lbs Cat Smith estimated this fish was in the low to mid 40’s!

Neal Haslam banked his personal best Carp from peg 11 weighing 23lbs 2oz.

Haslam was fishing a 30mm XXL boilie which was intended for Catfish! 

Local rod Neil Haslam visited peg 11 at Town Parks Fishery and was rewarded with this fine, personal best Carp. The fish tipped the scales at 23lbs 3oz and fell for a 30mm XXL boilie.
