General

Fish are very aware of the shorter day light hours and feeding exceptionally well as they know Autumn is around the corner and feeding up for the winter ahead to get into prime condition.

Some great catches have been had by pleasure anglers who have got the feed patterns and choice of pegs as well as the choice of methods for example pellet waggler, feeder, bomb or pole and are targeting species specific.

Some excellent carp out best one again on fly was a 27lb 10oz common on Bowes. Koi and Ghosties and carp on Lookout as well as some big bags of silvers. Best tench out this week was on Lookout by young Johnny Heworth 14yrs old on Mussel on peg 38 a 8lb 3oz green male tench he also had two crucians one at 3lb 2oz and a 2lb 7oz as well as carp, and skimmers.

Lookout
Cracking fishing on this lake for silvers, carp, tench

Young Johnny Heworth 14yrs old on Mussel on peg 38 an 8lb 3oz green male tench he also had two crucians one at 3lb 2oz and a 2lb 7oz as well as carp, tench and skimmers.

At the moment it is very easy to target species specific with some big bags of rudd and golden rudd and Koi also Ghosties up in the water, Orfe, ide, good tench, skimmers, bream, carp and roach at dead bottom, whilst some good perch also coming out especially in the margins where crucians are also being caught.

All baits being taken on the hook but get your feed patterns of angel pellets correct to bag up.

Bowes
Quote from Andy Marshall by email Fished Friday 13th Aug 2010 on Bowes “after a half days fishing in torrential rain with my 11 year old son jack on pegs 21 and 22, he is finally hooked on fishing we caught 45 fish between us, jack catching about 25 of them with his p.b of a lovely 7lb mirror carp all caught on 10mm banded angel pellet to island, while I caught some lovely bream 6,7 and 8lb in the margins also on 10mm banded angel pellets, cant wait for next trip thanx.. andy and jack marshall…. washington “

Fishing very well with some fantastic catches on 10mm angel pellets banded, paste made from angels 3mm pellets also doing exceptionally well, especially tight in of the second shelf. Maggot, caster and chopped worm bring in some large catches and angels 10 mm expanders are now coming into there own as water temperatures cool down to 14 degs.

Luke Bruce on a session on Bowes caught 102 carp all on angels expander pellets and fed them as well.

Bassetts

With the end of National Fishing Month this pond has seen over 250 new anglers start to learn how to fish, its been a very productive pond with most new anglers catching double figures of fish.

With the winds this week lots of pleasure anglers who wanted a day out took to this pond as it is very sheltered and all were rewarded with great catches, best Orfe was a golden at 3lb 13oz and best carp out was 4lb 6oz.
