Report for 10/05/05 – 17/05/05

It has been another cool week with chilly winds cold nights although the sun is warm when it appears mostly dry but we had a band of rain move through on Saturday. Water temperatures are subdued at present but as soon as summer temperatures arrive the carp will probably start spawning.

Once again surface fished baits seem most productive, such as bread or chum mixers, particularly into the evenings when the carp are most active and larger specimens are looking for their supper.

Willow pool gave Stephen Hird from Newton Abbott 18 carp to 8lb on legered sweetcorn over corn and pellet, total weight 112lb. Nick Webber of Torquay had 6 carp to 6lb. 3oz.on floatfished corn.

Kingfisher pool gave Graham Evans of Exeter 13 carp to 11 1/2lb on surface fished bread. Trevor Brooks had 3 carp to 10lb on bread off the surface.

Heron pool gave Michael Hard of Exeter 7 carp to 10lb on legering and surface fishing. Jason Smith had 8 carp to 9lb on floatfished bread.
