Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 19/1

96lbs Bream day session!

Bags of Bream and Carp were the main quarry at Town Parks Fishery this week, and anglers were not disappointed!

Town Parks regular Tim Slim had a fantastic session fishing for Bream from peg 2 on the Specimen Lake placing his bait on the central bar. During his sunny, settled day session Slim netted 96lbs 4oz of fish and this did not include a couple of fish which escaped from his keepnet as he tried to lift it from the water! Once again a small feeder, short hooklink and double red maggot to a size 16 hook did the trick!

Plenty of Carp also hit the bank.

Local rod John Connabeer fished a couple of 24hr sessions from peg 12 placing his bait, a Passion fruit boilie, tight in the margins. Connabeer netted three Carp during his first session including a fine Leather of 22lbs 1oz and a Common of 21lbs 5oz! His second session saw another 20+ Carp.

Regular Steve Wright was overjoyed during a day on peg 3 when he landed his personal best Carp. The Mirror fell to a Cell boilie offered close to the reeded island and it tipped the scales at 24lbs 1oz! Wright also netted fish of 22lbs 3oz and 16lbs dead!

Trevor Trebell took two fish overnight including a stunning Ghostie of 18lbs 2oz from peg 1 while Scott Bryant took four fish to 17lbs from peg 14 which included a fine condition Leather and a Linear!

Plymouth rod Richard Jenkins took a nice Mirror of 15lbs 1oz from peg 10 and Dave Tozer made a quick visit to peg 12 and took a nice Common of 17lbs 2oz!

On the upper Match Lake sport was also pretty good.

Fred Rowe fished a day in peg 1 and netted two Carp to 7lbs, after losing one, and plenty of Roach and Rudd!

Several anglers reported catches of Carp on pellet and also artificial sweetcorn! Silvers are still falling to maggot and castor.
