Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 4/11

 The Match Lake at Town Parks Fishery continued to produce good sport despite the colder weather. Carp fed freely taking pellet or luncheon meat offered at various depths.

Regular Rod Metcalf fished from peg 17 on the dam wall and banked 15 Carp of good size during a short morning session.

Once again Jim Morrissey took good quality Carp from the tip of the island immediately in front of peg 3. Coarse pellet on the hair with a light scattering around the bait proved effective!

Bream were still feeding with some good fish taken around the islands. Silvers fell to maggot and castor offered around the four foot mark!

On the lower Specimen Lake fishing was a little harder than of late but some good fish still came to the bank.

Regular Matt Feakes set up on peg 10 and took a good 19lbs 8oz Common almost immediately! Within twenty minutes Feakes had lost another good fish at the net.

Both fish fell to Tutti Frutti boilies offered close to the island.

Town Parks Fishery regular rod Matt Feakes banked this fine condition Common Carp within twenty minutes of setting up on peg 10. The fish tipped the scales at 19lbs 8oz and fell to a tutti fruitti boilie fished close to the island.

 Andrew Smart fished an overnighter from peg 6. After a screaming run Smart hooked into a very large fish, believed to be a big Catfish but, after a short battle the fish was lost!

On checking his rig it was discovered that the quick link had been pulled straight!

Chris Hulatt fished tutti frutti boilies from peg 16 and banked two Carp, the best around the 16lbs mark! Hulatt also lost two Carp at the net!

An eel of 4lbs was reported to have fallen to worm offered tight in the margin from peg 12.

Winner of the Halloween Ghost Carp competition was Brenda Morrissey with a good Ghostie of 9lbs 8oz taken on the Match Lake with pellet!
