THIS WEEK’S FISHING! (in brief)
Difficult conditions for fishing were also just what the Old Lake bream wanted to encourage them to feed, and they provided the best weight of the Wednesday series so far.
The fifth round of Steve Gardener’s fortnightly competition, fished by 24, was won by Steve Ellis with 84 lb, despite wet and windy weather, which gave the bream an appetite.
John Everiss was also getting among the bream, landing over 20 during a pleasure session, and tench are now starting to show up in catches, one angler landing four, while boats in the Jungle are also reporting tench activity.
Temple lake continues its steady run of fish, an early indication of sport to come, this time with two ‘twenties’ the biggest a 29 lb mirror for James Cox.
And the predator season closes after Thursday, anglers making the most of a last chance to get some action to land good numbers of fish to 7 lb, on roach sections or small pieces of mackerel.
The weather forecasters’ saying that March ‘comes in like a lion and out like a lamb’ is proving true so far, because after a stormy weekend, there’s more wet and windy weather blowing in from the west this week, with strong winds particularly in midweek, and a fair sprinkling of showers, though temperatures are generally rising, and should be back to highs in double figures by Wednesday. Monday looks to be the sunniest day of the week, with a high of 9 degrees C, but following on from a cool night of 2 degrees, though it should stay at 6 from Monday into Tuesday, which looks like the wettest day of the week, with a high of 9, falling to 4 overnight into Wednesday, which is expected to be the windiest day of the week, though largely dry and 10 degrees, but with gusts reaching 50 mph. With 5 overnight into a dry and overcast Thursday of 11 that should bode well for a good final day of the predator season, then a balmy 9 overnight into Friday of 11 with a damp morning and a dry afternoon. It should be 6 overnight into Saturday with sunshine and showers and 10, but down to 2 again into Sunday and 9, and down to zero into Monday as the winds swing round to dry northerlies, and sunny high pressure builds for the week after. Winds look set to be from the west all this week through to Sunday night, with a bit of south-west or north-west thrown in, starting with strong gusts on Monday, but not as lively as at the weekend, but becoming stronger again on Tuesday and Wednesday, peaking at around midday Wednesday, easing a bit for Thursday but still strong, and strengthening a bit again into Friday, easing a little on Saturday and then falling light and northerly on Sunday and into a spell of calm, sunny and frosty weather for the week after this one. So, for those willing to brave the strong winds this week, they should stir up some rewards.

OLD BURY HILL LAKE – GENERAL & BOAT FISHING

As soon as we leave the chilly nights behind, the bream fishing takes off, and this week the wet south-westerlies spurred the bream into feeding, producing an 84 lb winning net in the latest Steve Gardener midweeker.
Steve Ellis drew peg 72 and fished a Method feeder and wafters or pellets for his win, ahead of Brian Nesbitt on peg 36 with 55 lb, on the same tactics.
Third was Ian Chatfield, pegged next to Brian, with 54 lb 8 oz, ahead of John Swann with 47 lb from peg 74, Paul ‘Tommy’ Hiller with 37 lb 6 oz from peg 2, and John Radford with 37 lb from peg 20.
John Everiss, from Mitcham, had a pleasure session on the Old Lake and landed over 20 bream to 5 lb from peg 37, on Method feeder and 6 and 8 mm yellow and orange wafters.
Dan Spencer, from Surbiton, found the tench in feeding mood on the Front Bank, landing four to 5 lb, along with bream, on 15 mm Mainline Cell boilies in open water.
Predator anglers have until closing time on Thursday to catch themselves a big zed, as the season ends after March 14, until October.
Three anglers visiting from Essex shared a catch of nine zander to 7 lb this week, on small pieces of mackerel, which they found worked better than roach.

TEMPLE LAKE – CARP

Two more ‘twenties’ suggests that sport is on an upward curve on Temple, James Cox, from Esher, landing a 29 lb mirror carp from peg 13 on a 14 mm Carp Company Icelandic Red with Caviar & Cranberry pop-up.
And Gary Gray caught a 25 lb ghost common from peg 7, on double popped-up corn with no free offerings.

PLEASE NOTE: LEAD CORE IS BANNED ON BOTH TEMPLE AND THE OLD LAKE. PLEASE SEE KEN IN THE SHOP FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

BONDS LAKE

The carp are becoming increasingly catchable, now that temperatures are on the rise, and there are still roach and perch being caught on pole or waggler tactics, along with a few accidental carp.
Drilled krill pellets on a hair or banded are working well for the carp, and waggler and maggots is accounting for good numbers of perch and roach to 1 lb.

MILTON LAKE

Milton Lake is the place to head for if you want tench, bream, crucians and specimen roach, along with a chance of a bonus carp, either on waggler with a running line, or pole close in or up against the lily pads, where fish can often be lined up with a little-and-often loosefeeding approach using small baits, especially now that the weather has become milder.

THIS WEEK’S FISHING! (in brief)
Multiple catches of carp continue to be made, the best of this week’s action being a shared Old Lake haul of 34 fish between two anglers.
Lake regulars Richard Urquhart and Paul Downey were fishing in the middle of the Front Bank, and landed fish to 23 lb on Mainline Cell wafters.
Last week we reported how catchable the Old Lake tench are at the moment, but Milton Lake grabbed its share of the glory this week by providing two anglers with a shared 27-tench catch.
Visiting anglers Dean Roberts and John Laughton, from Hull, were kept busy for two days, fishing pellets and maggots on float or feeder, landing other species as well, while Jez Brown and Mark Hewer, from Oxfordshire, shared a 100 lb-plus Milton Lake catch.
And Temple continues to produce 30 lb-plus carp, this time a 31 lb mirror for Artur Truszynski, along with a 23 lb common, while Adam Rogers had a 29 lb common along with a 19 lb fully scaled.
Joe Holdsworth has sent in pictures of his catch, reported last week, which included Two Tone at 35 lb 10 oz.
There looks set to be a gradual warming of the weather this week compared to last, with an end to the chilly nights, perhaps until October. Whereas last week the average high was 14 degrees C, this week that is up to 17, and the overnight low up from a near-frosty 3 degrees on one day last week to no lower than 8 this week coming. It should be a largely dry week, though with more cloud than sunshine, but very light winds, and moving round from last week’s easterlies to north-westerlies and south-westerlies. Monday should be a couple of degrees up on Sunday, at 18 and cloudy, having been 11 overnight from the weekend, and 9 overnight into Tuesday, which should be a slightly more sunny 18, with 8 overnight into a cloudy Wednesday of 17, 8 again into another cloudy Thursday of 17, with 10 into Friday of 16 with cloud again, and 10 overnight again, but more sunshine on Saturday and 17, with 10 overnight into a sunnier Sunday of 17. Winds should start as light north-easterlies, becoming north-westerlies on Monday, though still light, the same on Tuesday, a bit stronger and more westerly on Wednesday, similar on Thursday but more south-westerly, more westerly on Friday, and a little stronger and north-westerly on Saturday and Sunday. So, a more pleasant and more fishy week, probably without enough heat to spur the fish into spawning, so a good chance to track down a few fish in calm and mostly dry conditions.

OLD BURY HILL LAKE – GENERAL & BOAT FISHING

Angling pals Richard Urquhart and Paul Downey are no strangers to multiple catches of Old Lake carp, having had plenty of successful sessions, including a shared 31-fish catch in August 2017.
And the Addiscombe and Banstead pair’s latest visit also provided plenty of action, their 34 carp including a 23 lb mirror.
All were caught on 18 mm Mainline Cell wafters over free offerings, at pegs 14 and 16, casting towards the island.

Also enjoying carp action was another lake regular, Hugh Bonsor, from Leatherhead, who caught eight to 19 lb 8 oz in a 12-hour session on Friday, from peg 40, on the same single 18 mm Cell, in open water, using a kilo of boilies.
The Old Lake carp have had a go at spawning, but stopped when the weather cooled and the nights turned more chilly, so their focus is back on feeding until the next run of hot days.

TEMPLE LAKE – CARP

Temple provided a fish of over 30 lb for the fourth week on the trot, this time Artur Truszynski landing a 31 lb mirror carp.

Artur, from Crystal Palace, was fishing peg 2, and he also had a 23 lb common, on a single 16 mm Sweetcorn boilie over a small amount of hemp.
Adam Rogers came close to a ‘thirty’ with his 29 lb common carp from peg 11, casting to the channel between the islands with a 15 mm Mainline Cell wafter and adding free offerings.
Earlier in his session he had landed a lovely 19 lb fully scaled, casting to the pads to the right of his swim, over a few freebies.
Last week we reported Joe Holdsworth’s capture of Two Tone at 35 lb 10 oz, one of four in his session at peg 14, the others being commons of 28 lb 10 oz, 28 lb 8 oz and 20 lb 8 oz.

He then added a 26 lb common and a 24 lb 1 oz mirror to take his tally to six fish, a seventh fish being lost to a hook pull.

He has sent in pictures of the fish, which were on JHBaits snowman presentations of 18 mm B4 boilies tipped with 12 mm pink Nuti-B pop-ups, fished in the gap between the islands and in the island margins, over a mixture of 16 and 18 mm B4, putting in 50-60 baits after each fish.

BONDS LAKE

The carp are catchable in good numbers, now that temperatures are climbing, and there are still roach and perch to be caught on pole or waggler tactics, when with carp let you keep a bait in the water.

MILTON LAKE

Milton Lake is the place to head for if you want tench, bream, crucians and specimen roach, along with a chance of a bonus carp, either on waggler with a running line, or pole close in or up against the lily pads.
Fish can often be lined up with a little-and-often loosefeeding approach using small baits, and very small balls of groundbait, and are particularly active when the weather is warm.

Two visitors from Hull, Dean Roberts and John Laughton, enjoyed two days on Milton Lake and then a day catching bream on a boat on the Old Lake.
Between them they shared 27 Milton tench, along with crucians, roach and perch, on float or feeder and pellets and maggots.
Another pair of regular visitors, Jez Brown and Mark Hewer, from Oxfordshire, had an “amazing day” of over 100 lb of tench and plenty of crucians.
The tench were to over 5 lb, and the dozen crucians to over 2 lb, on pole or a small Method feeder and maggots and casters, and they also had roach to over 1 lb, averaging 13 oz.
And famous angler Graeme Pullen visited Milton for some filming for his Totally Awesome Fishing website.
He was hoping for a big catch of crucians, but a dip in the temperatures meant he had to settled for 30 sizeable perch, along with roach, fishing waggler and double red maggot on a size 16 hook at dead depth, close to the lilies.
