Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 15/12

With warm weather settled in, the fish continued to feed at Town Parks Fishery this week.

Once again anglers targeting the Bream on the Specimen Lake enjoyed frantic sport with some excellent bags reported.

Brendon Ions chose peg 2 for a day session fishing a small feeder and maggot on the hook towards the main island. Ions hit fish straight away and, although they went off the feed at times, took fish throughout the day!  Weighing up at the end of the session Ions was amazed to find he had netted 49 fish for 65lbs – lovely fishing! Ions explained that he had come second in his section at another lake the previous week with two fish for 600grms – He said there can’t be many waters providing the sport he enjoyed at Town Parks!

Rod Metcalfe and Steve Wright also targeted the Bream with great success taking bags between 25lbs and 50lbs on each visit! Metcalfe also had an unexpected catch whilst pole fishing for Roach when a large Carp of 15lbs 2oz seized the maggot bait! It took Metcalfe 25 minutes to net the fish – quite remarkable as he was fishing a size 4 elastic, 2lbs hooklink and a size 18 hook!!!

Plymouth fireman Steve Wright fished for Bream from peg 2 at Town Parks Fishery and took this fine bag. Wright was one of several anglers taking bags up to 65lbs!!! 

Hopefully the Bream will continue to feed providing excellent sport for anglers over Christmas!

Carp also fed with anglers reporting fish moving in most pegs.

Conor Nettleton had a great session from peg 3 taking 4 fish including a fine Mirror of 24lbs 8oz which fell to pink pop ups! Nettleton had banked the same fish recently a couple of pounds lighter so the fish has been feeding up well ready for the Winter.

Town Parks Fishery regular Conor Nettleton fished from peg 3 and banked the same fish he caught a few weeks ago. The fine condition Mirror tipped the scales at 24lbs 8oz a couple of pounds heavier than last time. The fish fell to a Cell boilie.

Several Carp in the 15 to 20lbs range hit the net including a lovely condition Common taken form peg 1 by Gordon Batt.

Gordon Batt fished peg 1 at Town Parks Fishery and banked this beautifully coloured Common Carp.

The Fishery is open every day over the Christmas and New Year period with supplies of fresh maggot, castor and worm as well as frozen and tinned baits available.

The staff at the Fishery would like wish a HAPPY CHRISTMAS to all our customers – we look forward to “catching” up with you over the festive period!!
