Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 18/11

 The Match Lake at Town Parks Fishery continued to produce goods bags for most anglers.

Carp are still coming to the bank in numbers despite the changeable weather conditions.

Rod Metcalf visited peg 16 and fished pellet up in the water taking six good Carp in a short session.

Silvers continue to take maggot and castor although the fish are up and down in the water depending on the conditions.

Some good Bream have been taken, a 4lbs 8 oz fish took sweetcorn offered in the reed margins of peg 1 visitor Vic Edwards.

On the Specimen Lake sport has been sporadic with fish going on and off the feed.

One particularly good fish came to the net of Bovey Tracey rod Lee Jones. Fishing his first session at Town Parks Jones fished a Cell boilie mid water in front of peg 15 and was rewarded with a fine personal best Common which tipped the scales at 23lbs 9oz! This beat his best by over 9lbs!

The Specimen Lake usually fishes very well throughout the Winter months with some of the Fisheries biggest specimens coming to the bank!  Feed lightly with only a few freebies or a small PVA bag filled with small pellet or ground bait, use a small lead which will not sink into the silty lake bottom and pop your bait up with artificial corn or a pop up boilie.
