14th November – 20th November 2011

Sailing Lake
Predator fishing has been steady this week with plenty of Pike to a week’s best 18lb 6oz. Mark Manders of Nottingham landed a personal best Pike of 18lb 6oz fishing in front of the sailing club. Mark took the Pike on a float fished smelt. A 16lb Pike was taken by a local schoolboy during a junior Pike fishing coaching session, again in front of the sailing club on a float fished dead Roach.

Zander have been showing with plenty of 8-10lb fish with a 12lb 12oz specimen being the weeks biggest. The fish week fell to venue regular Alan Williams of Nottingham who tempted a new personal best fish of 12lb 12oz from peg 52 in the open water. Alan tempted the fish using ledgered skimmer. Trevor McKenzie of Spalding (see picture) came to the fishery in search of his first ever Zander and was rewarded with fish of 9lb 14oz and 8lb 6oz and 2 low double figure Pike. Trevor fished in a deep gulley in front of the boat slipway using legered Roach deadbaits.

Boys Pit
Still lots of Pike to 15lb being caught on all methods, with Lure anglers seeing the better of the action. Andy Pollard of Syston took 4 Pike to 14lb on lures whilst fly angler Malcolm Lovett of Lincoln took the week’s biggest fish of 15lb from the Back Bay. On the pleasure angling front there has been some fantastic silver fish catches approaching 20lb to pole anglers. Sean Hammond of Coventry set his stall out for silvers and was rewarded with a cracking bag of 20lb. Sean fished caster to take Roach to 1lb, Rudd to over 1lb and 2 bonus Tench. Other anglers are reporting fabulous bags of Roach and Rudd to pole tactics with caster being the outstanding bait.
