With the thermometer touching 28 degrees at Town
Parks Fishery the fish were somewhat reluctant to feed at times preferring to
sit on the surface ignoring all the baits floated near them, that said, early
morning and evening sessions provided good sport as the water temperature
dropped slightly.
On the Specimen Lake Catfish fed freely taking
luncheon meat, worm or halibut pellet offered from most pegs.
Tris Smith fished overnight from peg 10 and was
elated when he banked his first Catfish of 14lbs 8oz. During the night Smith
banked nine more Cat’s to 22lbs 1oz, all falling to worm. As the sun rose Smith
had a run which was different to the Cat’s runs. As he struck into it the fish
ran and, after a long struggle a fine Mirror came to the mat which tipped the
scales at 26lbs 4oz, a personal best!
Smith’s fishing partner Dan Butterworth also had a
good night taking his first Catfish of 23lbs 8oz.
Lee Otridge fished peg 7 and was rewarded with
several fish, the best a good Cat of 24lbs 6oz.

Matt Greene took a good Common of 19lbs 2oz and a
cracking Catfish of 23lbs 3oz whilst stalking around the deeper water pegs. Greene’s
fish fell to luncheon meat fished from a 6 foot light rod which resulted in
epic battles to bank the fish!
Devon Firefighters
Kev Carter and Steve Wright started their marathon Fish-A-Thon today. The
Firemen aim to catch 1000lb of fish during their week long challenge!
The upper Match Lake provided excellent sport with
the fish up in the water.
Some good sized Bream showed, especially along pegs
1 to 6 whilst Carp preferred the deeper water along the dam wall.
Gordon Batt and Matt Feakes fished white chocolate
boilies during an overnighter from pegs 9 and 10. Sport was so frantic during
the evening and into the night that the pair stopped fishing around 4 am after
banking in excess of 100 Carp to 10lbs!!
With unsettled weather forecast prospects look good
on both lakes during the coming week.
