Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 19/5

Fish continued to come to the net at Town Parks Fishery this week. The Specimen Lake saw anglers enjoying the sport from most pegs.

Darren Baldwin enjoyed a great session from peg 15. Baldwin banked a good Leather Carp of 18lbs 3oz but shortly afterwards his alarms screamed off and after a long battle a large Catfish came to the net. Baldwins scales immediately “bottomed” out at 28lbs! After recasting his luncheon meat bait, the alarms screamed off again. This time Baldwin netted an even larger Cat, estimated in the 40lbs range!

Lee Mills had a good session from peg 2 fishing towards the main island. Mills banked five fish, the best a nice Common of 17lbs 14oz, all falling to sweetcorn.

Paul Winstanley netted his personal best Tench, a fine 8lbs 2oz and also his personal best Bream of 5lbs 8oz from peg 5! Winstanleys haul also included four Carp, the best a good Common of 17lbs 3oz, which fell for a Cell boilie as did all the other fish!

Torquay rod Paul Winstanley claimed two new personal best’s at Town Parks Fishery. Winstanley fished from peg 5 and banked this fine Tench of 8lbs 2oz and also took a PB Bream of 5lbs 8oz. Also taken were four Carp to 17lbs 3oz all falling to Cell boilies!

Scott Beer fished luncheon meat from peg 2 at Town Parks Fishery and banked his very first Catfish. The fish tipped the scales at 20lbs 2oz!

Plenty of Catfish, too many to list individually, came to the bank mainly falling to worm, luncheon meat of halibut pellet!
