Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 31/3

Bitter Easterly winds coupled with very low temperatures provided difficult fishing conditions at Town Parks Fishery, that said, some good fish still came to the net!

On the Specimen Lake Conor Nettleton chose peg 12 with the wind on his back to fish the reed’s in the margins. Nettleton banked two Carp, a good Leather of 14lbs 9oz and a Common and also lost another much larger fish at the net! The Leather fell to a Japanese Squid boilie whilst the Common took a Cell pop up!

Local rod Conor Nettleton chose peg 12 at Town Parks Fishery to fish the margins. Nettleton was rewarded with two good Carp including this fine condition Leather Carp which fell for a Japanese Squid Boilie.

Once again Mark Warren found the fish taking  a good Ghostie from peg 10. Korda’s new Caramel Goo over a toffee boilie tempted the fish.

Due to the very unseasonal weather conditions the students from Paignton Community College were switched to the lower Lake to stay out of the wind during their tutored session.

It was a good move as all the students banked Roach and Perch on maggot with some of the Roach touching the 2lbs 8oz mark!   

Meanwhile on the top Match Lake the wind played a part with some pegs unfishable due to the strength and windchill!

Paul (Winston) Winstanley fished several sessions accompanied by wife Karen with both banking Carp and very good bags of Silvers. Paul’s son Matt also came along for his first go at the sport. After some tips from his old man, Matt hooked into an excellent first fish, a Ghost Common of 12lbs! The fish fell to a white pop up coated in Almond Goo!

Cornwall rod Mike Green visited peg 14 with girlfriend Sue and fished maggot close to the reeds adjacent to the outflow. During their afternoon session the couple banked 8 Carp, the best around the 9lbs mark.

Brixham rod Mike Gorman fished pellet on the bottom from peg 5 and was rewarded with 9 Carp to 14lbs!
