Old Lake Latest Catches week ending 17/6/18
The carp sport is beginning to take off on the Old Lake, with up to 12 fish per angler reported, including two ‘twenties’.
Chris Chapman, from Woking, led the way with a dozen fish from peg 16, including a 22 lb common and a 21 lb mirror, the other fish being between 19 lb and 17 lb.
Single 18 mm Mainline Cell bottom baits over free offerings were what the fish wanted, and so did lots of bream, which came Chris’s way.
Also in action was Stephen Spear, from Crawley, who had four fish to 14 lb during his session at peg 14, all of them commons, along with two tench to 6 lb and seven bream, all on Sticky Baits Bloodworm boilies.
Lee Richards, from Hayling Island, took a boat out to the Jungle and had a hectic day, catching four tench to 6 lb 8 oz, ten bream to 7 lb, 15 skimmers and four roach, all on float fished maggots.
