Fish continued to come
to the bank at Town Parks Fishery despite the colder weather and first frosts
of the winter.
The top Match Lake saw
anglers enjoying good sport taking Carp and Silvers in numbers.
Regular Jim Morrissey
continued his good run of fish taking over 100lbs of fish per day over a four
day period. Morrissey cast coarse pellet from peg 3 tight to the tip of the
adjacent island which proved effective with Carp feeding throughout the day.
Rod Metcalf took Carp in
numbers from the dam wall casting out to mid water with pellet.
Peg 15 fished very well
with most anglers fishing it taking medium to large bags of Carp.
Silvers showed and fell
to maggot and castor offered fairly deep due to the colder conditions.
Jack Oakden fished a
12mt pole from peg 13 on the Specimen Lake offering single red maggots tight to
the outfall pipe. Oakden immediately connected with Bream which fed well
throughout his short session. All Oakdens fish were over the 1lbs 8oz mark and
eventually his net weighed in at over 40lbs!

Carp moved freely
throughout the Specimen Lake but were hesitant to feed at times, frustrating
anglers who tried many different tactics!
Matty Feakes once again
showed everyone how to do it banking several Carp from peg 12.
Tutti Frutti boilies
proving effective!
Catfish were still moving around, and should
do for the foreseeable future, with anglers reporting being snapped off after
screaming runs!!!
The Fishery’s Ghost Carp
competition continues until November 3rd.
The angler banking the
biggest Ghost Carp will receive a £20.00 voucher.
Anglers were saddened
this week with the death of popular angler and builder Colin Cook.
Cook visited Town Parks
regularly and always fished his favourite peg 1.
Banking many fish over
the years Cook made many friends in the angling fraternity with his happy
disposition – He was always smiling! He found out he had incurable Cancer but
continued to live life to the full. Refusing treatment Cook battled bravely to
the end an inspiration to others!
