Torbay rod Clint Walker fished his first overnight session at the Fishery from peg 7 with baits placed close to the waterfall. Just as daylight started to show Walkers rod screamed off and after an “epic” battle a Catfish of 27lbs 2oz was on the bank.

Exeter rod Matt Green banked this beautiful Common Carp from peg 6 at Town Parks Fishery. The fish fell to a Cell boilie offered mid water.

Tyson Norton chose peg 1 to test his new homemade coconut boilies and banked an incredible 12 fish during his 20 hour session. Having never banked a Catfish, Norton was over the moon to bank two, the best 17lbs 12oz. Some lovely Carp came to the net including a beautiful fully scaled, three Commons and seven Mirrors.
