Sailing Lake
The predator fishing has really gone up another gear this week with lots of Pike to mid doubles and Zander to 12lb 8oz coming from most areas of the lake. Rob Drake of Leicester was again amongst the big Zeds with a 12lb 8oz fish and a smaller 8lb Zed, Rob fished at range in the open water from the sailing club spit to take both fish on a legered Roach deadbait. Alan Thomas of Nottingham also got amongst the big Zeds with a fantastic 5 fish haul in a late night session, Alan took fish of 12lb 6oz, 11lb, 10lb 13oz and 10lb 8oz, Alan took all of his fish from in front of the sailing club fishing to the edge off a weedbed, legered Roach and Skimmer deadbaits were the winning baits. Arguably the weeks luckiest catch though was Mark Slade of Boston’s new personal best Zander taken on a Chapel baits plumb & Blackpepper pop-up boilie! Mark was fishing for the resident big carp when he hooked the Zed fair and square in the bottom lip! Talking of Carp, Mark had fished a 48 Hour session earlier on in the week to take a beautifully conditioned 24lb 7oz Common, again the fish was taken on the Chapel Baits Plumb & Blackpepper pop-up fished over a sprinkling of the same from peg 52. Plenty of Pike are also hitting the banks with countless low double figure fish being taken on lured with the back bays and channels being particularly good areas. The weeks biggest fish was a 16lb 6oz fish taken on a legered herring in the back channel, the lucky captor was Adam Hollis of Loughborough.
Bream fishing has slowed a little, however bags of 30lb are still being reported with method feeder and boilies being the killer tactic used.
Roach fishing though is really good at the moment with pole tactics on the road bank taking bags of Roach and Skimmers to 15lb. Best catch of the week came to Harry Connors of Leicester, Harry fished the relatively unfished back bay by the road to take a fabulous bag of Roach, Rudd, Skimmers and cracking Perch for an estimated 20lb, Harry fished the pole on chopped worm and maggot.
Mark Slade – 24lb 7oz
Mark Slade – Zander
Rob Drake – 12lb 8oz
The Boys Pit
The boys pit is about as prolific as they come for Pike at the moment with most anglers reporting multiple catches of Pike to 16lb 14oz on a variety of methods. Fly Fisherman have been doing really well with fish to 10lb, Andy Pollard of Leicester took 3 Pike to double figures on the Fly as did Terrence James of Nottingham who took 2 fish of 9lb and 9lb 9oz. Biggest fish of the week was taken by local rod Jamie Clarke of Melton Mowbray who took 4 fish between 8lb and a new personal best 16lb 14oz, all were taken on legered deadbait Roach and Mackerel cast towards a sunken island.
River Wreake
The resident Chub have been getting there heads down with fish to 5lb being taken on a variety of tactics. Fishery boss Chay Jackson spent a few hours into dark legering a chapel baits Smokey Herring pellet in conjunction with a pva bag of the same to take 4 Chub of 4lb+ and a cracking 5lb 4oz fish.
