Barbel caught

10/06/2007 by Mike Inkster.

Despite the foul weather on a couple of days this week there have been some interseting catches. At least 3 Carp over 19lbs and a couple of Barbel. We put the Barbel in 18 months ago at about half a pound and the two that were caught this week were over two lbs each so they’re in there and getting bigger. No big Tench this week but a couple of double figure ‘ghosties’.

Scroggins is teeming with fry which is good to see, especially as the water is so ‘new’. No doubt most will be eaten by the Perch we’ve put in but a good few will survive for the future. The Cormorants have re-appeared so we’ve re-set the ‘banger’ to every half hour. Sorry about the noise but we need to protect the fish stocks for the future.

We have a few small matches this month but they won’t affect your ability to fish on either lake so just turn up as ususal. We’re going to try and arrange for some members’ Matches in the next few weeks so we’ll be letting you know when they will be taking place.

‘Photos of your catches are always welcome and I’ll try and get them on the web ASAP and on the notice board at the Old Lake.

Happy fishing…..

Mike
