Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 9/2

As the very unsettled weather continued anglers chose their days carefully! Heavy rain kept both lakes full to capacity with a very good throughput refreshing the water.

On the Specimen Lake some anglers braved atrocious conditions but reaped the rewards.

Matt Feakes fished from peg 2 during some of the worst weather of the week. The fish were feeding and, after several runs he connected with a good Linear Carp of 17lbs 3oz. The fish fell to a Cell boilie.

On peg 1 Gordon Batt also braved the conditions and managed to connect with a nice Leather of 16lbs 2oz.

Peg 3 saw Karen Wright fish alongside husband Steve who has banked a few good fish recently. It was to be Karen's day when she connected with a good fish mid water. Once in the net the fish was weighed and at 16lbs 14oz proved to be Karen's personal best Carp!

10mm Cell boilies tempted the fish!

Karen Wright fished from peg 3 at Town Parks Fishery using 10mm Cell boilies cast mid water. Karen was rewarded when this fine Mirror seized her bait. The fish weighed 16lbs 14oz and was a personal best!!!

Several smaller Carp were reported with some of the recent large specimens keeping their heads down and staying off the feed!

On the upper Match Lake most species were still taking bait.

A couple of anglers reported carp taking halibut pellet. Up to 6 Carp were taken in a session with a top weight of 7lbs!

Silvers continued to take maggot and castor although depths varied as the air pressure changed! Some nice winter Bream came to the net with medium bags reported from around the islands.
