Fantastic sport was reported from both lakes at Town Parks Fishery this week.

The Specimen Lake came alive with some superb fish banked.

Banana spice flavoured boilies offered towards the central bar proved effective.

North Devon rod Jason Hammond fished from peg 5 at Town Parks Fishery testing out new baits. During his overnight session Hammond banked six fish the best this fine Common of 26lbs 1oz.

Dave Osmond continued his run of good catches with a fine Mirror of 26lbs 2oz from peg 6. 

Dave Osmond fished his favourite peg 6 at Town Parks Fishery and was rewarded with this superb Mirror which tipped the scales at 26lbs 2oz! Small strawberry boilies offered near the island proved successful.

Osmond followed this fish with a superb specimen Tench some twenty minutes later. This Tench was one of the biggest recorded at the Fishery at a whopping 10lbs 2oz!

Within minutes of banking a fine Mirror Carp of 26lbs 2oz Dave Osmond netted this specimen Tench from peg 6 at Town Parks Fishery. The fish tipped the scales at a whopping 10lbs 2oz!

 

Regular rod Mark Sturdy visited peg 12 and fished the margins with red maggot.

Sturdy was rewarded with a fantastic run of six Catfish to 30lbs 3oz and four Carp to 22lbs 4oz!

With the Specimen Lake full for much of the weekend many multiple catches were reported with every angler taking fish!

On the top Match Lake sport was also very good although the Carp fed sporadically at times.

Newton Abbot rod Richie Baker had a frantic start to his day on peg 15 taking 11 Carp within the first two hours! Coarse pellet offered near the small island responsible.

Many anglers reported spells especially early morning and late afternoon when Carp fed freely and 10 to 15 fish coming to the bank in quick succession only to be followed by little or no action for several hours afterwards!

Bream came to the bank and were looking ready to spawn with little or no slime and nodules appearing!

Roach and Rudd fed freely throughout the week with bags to the 100lbs mark reported.
