The weather has warmed up nicely now and with it the
fish are frantically trying to pack on the weight before
going into spawn. Pond A and B have been fishing well
with maggot producing plenty of roach, rudd and perch.
Carp have been showing with luncheon meat and floaing
bread in the early morning and late afternoon after a
sunny day, 2 - 3 lb barbel have been taking maggot on
pond A just off the island. Although we're still getting
some night frosts the night fishermen on Pond B are
mostly reporting carp up to 10lb and good chub coming
out. Pond C has been fishing exceptionally well with good
carp, koi, mirrors and commons coming out to sweetcorn
and luncheon meat. Pond D is seeing good chub and some
barbel starting to show.
Outifbridge a.c. had a match on Pond A on Sunday 25th
April. 12 of their members turned up on the day. Andy
Fitz took the top spot with 18lb from Peg 1. 2nd was Jim
Mellors from peg 3 with 16lb 4oz and 3rd was Pete Gott
from peg 14 with 12lb 4 oz. Although not in the top
weights A5 produced some quality barbel using maggot, A11
had an excellent Blue Orfe in his bag again using maggot.
Some good chub also showed on the day and all of their
members caught.
