Volunteers tidy up Torksey Lock pegs

PEGS at Torksey Lock got a clean up as volunteers from the executive committee carried out maintenance work last weekend.
And Saturday’s tide, plus the extra water in the Trent, saw the levels extra high but it was pleasing to see many anglers catching quality roach on hemp and tares.
Bailiff Ken Bradshaw informed Worksop and District Angling Association’s Mick Pogson that during the week, when the tides were more favourable, nets of up to 30lb of mainly roach with the odd big perch were being caught.
Small club matches can be staged, during the winter months, by contacting WDAA match booking secretary Richard Brunt on Worksop 01909 489109.
Please remember, that boat owners wanting to moor up on the staging have priority over anglers either pleasure or match fishing. However, boat traffic is very low at this time of the year, and relatively non-existent during the winter months.

Prospects

Lakeside Ranskill - Weekend match weights won with over 70lbs of carp and silver fish.
And backing weights of 40lbs plus were needed to be in the frame. Best method was pole and worm or meat.
A pleasure catch from peg 30 had over 100lb of carp to 15lb 10oz on bomb and meat fished over sweetcorn.
On the Carp Lake, a Manchester angler caught a seven fish bag to 28lb 6oz of mirror on peg 4 using boilies.
And on the Trout Lake Worksop angler Peter Brunt’s catch was noted as he caught and released 17 fish on black buzzers.
