Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 24/6

Fish fed sporadically at Town Parks Fishery this week with some very nice fish coming to the bank when they were on the feed.

Local rod Mark Warren visited peg 16 and fished a Cell boilie tipped with a scopex pop up mid water. Warren soon hooked into a good fish and banked a lovely personal best Common Carp of 23lbs 15oz.

Visitor John Rogers chose peg 9 for a 24hr session. Rogers fished different baits on all three rods and was targeting the Catfish. By the end of his session Rogers had banked six Cat’s, the best a fine 37lbs 3oz which fell to luncheon meat offered in the margins.

Numerous Carp in the high teens came to the bank most falling for sweet baits, pineapple, tutti frutti, coconut etc.

Town Parks Fishing Catch Report w/e 17/6

The Specimen Lake at Town Parks Fishery provided good sport for anglers this week.

Brixham rod Bob Hewitt fished a method feeder towards the main island from peg 2 with a single 7mm coarse pellet on the hair. Fishing a very light Match rod and 6lb line Hewitt hooked into a fine Catfish which, after a long battle tipped the scales at 21lbs 3oz!

Bob Hewitt had the shock of his life when his bait offered for small Carp was snatched by a 21lbs 8oz Catfish! The fish took a while to bank as Hewitt was fishing a 8 foot Match rod and very light line!

Lee Mills fished peg 15 for a 36 hour session and was rewarded with 8 Carp to 19lbs 8oz and a fine Bream of 8lbs 2oz!

Gordon Batt visited peg 1 fishing maggot close to the island. Batt banked four Carp the best a good Common of 21lbs 3oz.
