COMMERCIAL ROUND UP
WE start this week's round up over at the Lakeside Fishery at Ranskill where the match weights have been made up of silver fish.
Pole fished worm and caster netting 91lb 12oz of chub, ide and skimmers from peg 17 in Wednesday's open, with peg 29 throwing up a 45lb 15oz bag of ide and chub to pole fished caster. On peg 28 pole fished pellet had match weight of skimmers in excess of 45lb.
Brydon AC held a club match on the Strip Pond where Andy Cardell proceeded to put 68lb of mainly carp on the scales, employing pole fished pellet.
On the Carp Lake Garry Croft made the journey over the M62 from Manchester to bag himself five lumps to 23lb 15oz from peg 3 using boilies.
Over on the Trout Lake Brian Foster landed 13 fish to 9lb on his segmented blood worm presented on a floating line with Pete Brown tempting 31 fish on cats whisker on an intermediate line.
Just down the road at Lodge Farm Bill informs us that the first Saturday Open match of the winter is to take place on 1st November on the Field Pond with a entry fee of £12. To regsiter call Bill on 07815 030694.
Tuesday's Likely Lads match was held on the Top Pond where Mark Cardell won with 16lb 12oz from peg 25, with Keith Noble in the runners up position with 10lb 8oz from peg 37. Keith Morris made up the frame with 9lb 1oz from peg 35.
On the Thursday Open match fished on Long Island Keith Walters pole fished pellet on peg 83 to lead the field with 65lb 6oz. He was closely followed by Alan Hadfield with 60lb 13oz using the same method on peg 90, and Simon Short in third with 44lb 2oz from peg 98 using wag and mag.
Bill stells us that pellet and caster are the favoured baits at the moment on all pools, with worm a viable option.
This weekend the Top Pond is available for pleasure anglers on both days.
Despite the onset of winter the fishing is improving at the Riverside complex at Scrooby with 62lb 2oz the top match weight of the week taken on worm and caster on the short pole on peg 6.
Pole fished pellet down the edge accounted for a bag of 31lb 9oz off peg 31 with pole fished making an unseasonable contribution.
Worksop rod Terry Pixley has been taking mixed bags of silvers and carp on pole fished maggot, with Craig Crosby emptying the Match Lake from peg 4 with over 100lb of mainly carp to 18lb 6oz on pole fished worm over dead maggot.
At Daiwa Hallcroft pellet has been ruling the roost on all pools, with corn fished over the top on the Bridge Pool for nets to 118lb or a soft expander on the short pole for mixed nets with worm and meat fished down the margins a good alternative.
On moat pool carn fished over pellet has also proved effective.
