Had a day on Town Park with Peter, Shelia, Sarah and myself. Got there around 9.30am aranged for some coffee and breakfast rolls, we decided to fish on pegs 1 and 2.
This was the specimin lake which holds carp to over 40lb and cat fish to over 60lb, and a large head of good quality roach and rudd to nearly 2lb.
I setup a short pole for Sarah to fish the margins and the feeder rod for myself along with the pellet waggler.
I cast the feeder over to the island withand 11mm hard pellet and packed with 2mm feed pellets. The food arrived and I had a quick go on the pole and managed to get a couple of good quality roach with a few minutes the largest being 12oz.
We all sat down had the bacon roll and the coffee, it was back to the peg to enjoy some real lesure fishing, Sarah started well catching some small roach and rudd, the more she fed then the larger fish started to show, and she had her first roach over a pound.
At around 11.00am Pete shouted that he'd hooked something nice and he thought it was a carp, after a 15 minute battle we still hadn't seen it then finally to Pete's amazement it wasn't a carp it was a catfish, this was a first for him. I finally managed to net the catfish, Paul from Town Parks Lakes arranged the Carp mat and some scales after a few minutes we had it in the sling and it weighed in at 20lb 8oz.
We all started fishing again and Sarah was soon catching the odd fine rudd and roach, over the day she must have had 20 of them over a pound, however the best weighed in at 1lb 5oz.Pete later on in the afternoon managed to fit into a nice mirror carp, after a 5 minute scrap they manage to part company after the carp roled when it was on the surface this was estimated at over 20lb.
We all had a great a day fishing for things I never normally do.
Another thanks to the guys at Town Parks Fishing http://www.townparks.net for a great day once again.
