Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 2/2

Totnes rod John Aldred fished from peg 12 at Town Parks Fishery in atrocious weather with gale force winds and driving rain. Getting soaked and feeling cold was worth it after he banked his personal best carp of 24lbs 1oz. The fish seized Aldreds Cell boilie which was offered tight in the left side margin.

Town Parks Fishery regular John Aldred fished from peg 12 in atrocious weather conditions with wind and rain in his face. Aldred fished his Cell boilie tight in the margins and at 4.30 am he was rewarded with this fine Mirror of 24lbs 1oz, his personal best!

Aldreds fishing partner also banked a nice Carp of 15lbs from peg 11.

Tris Smith had a quick evening visit to peg 16 hunting early Catfish and was not disappointed! Float fishing worm six inches off the bottom Smith was most surprised when his bait was taken by a Cat of 14lbs 2oz! Smith had done a bit of stalking and couldn’t reach his net but luckily Steve Wight was on hand to offer some help and witness the fish! More surprising is the water temperature is only 6.8 degrees at present and the Catfish do not generally start moving around before the temperature reaches double figures!

Once again Conor Nettleton connected with Carp. Fishing from peg 14 Nettleton lost a couple of good fish before banking two good Carp to high teens. 10mm Cell boilies attracting the fish!

Plymouth fireman and Town Parks regular Steve Wright also chose 10mm Cell to fish from peg 3. Within minutes of casting out towards the central bar Wright had his first fish on the bank, a beautifully marked Fully Scaled Carp!

Plymouth fireman Steve Wright fished from peg 3 at Town Parks Fishery casting his 10mm Cell boilies towards the reeded island. Wrights bait had only been in the water for a few minutes when it was taken by this beautifully scaled and winter coloured Carp!
