Alan Darby from Liverpool fished the top Match Lake on 4 consecutive days and banked over 20 Carp during each session. Coarse pellet offered towards the main island from peg 10 did the trick!

Fishing from peg 6 at Town Parks Fishery Gordon Batt banked this 24lbs 4oz Catfish which fell for a Cell boilie intended for Carp. The fish was one of ten taken during Batt’s session!

Four anglers reported Silver bags in excess of 160lbs with fish taking maggot, castor and tares freely.
