Landed from the Notts area

October '06

CROMWELL LAKES near Newark, Notts first which is fishing its head off at the moment, according to Gary the owner. Me old friend Colin Hutchinson from Nottingham had three x 20s in a day session up to 26lb3oz on maize fished with the bag and pellet into dying weed beds. At one point he had two on together and Gary had to come from the house to help him!
Others catching include Darrius Henderson from Worsop with several including a 36lb 8oz mirror caught on sweetcorn fished over sweetcorn and carp pellets. One young angler had a cracking grassie of 20lb 8oz. Frank Knight had a couple in the net including a mid 20 caught on dog biscuit. Shaun Wells had a couple of 20s over the weekend of 24lb 6oz and 26lb, both were mirrors caught on boilies.
Banking a few was Glen Shipstone from Nottingham including a mirror of 25lb 12oz, 25lb common was banked by Kevin Yates from Barnsley. His bait was boilie but that’s all he revealed!

KINGS MILL RESERVOIR is throwing a few out from the dam wall end, as usual, but no bigger fish just lately.

BESTWOOD PONDS seems to have shut up shop with just a couple of doubles from pond three.

STRELLY POND has slowed down but most are still catching. Especially on bright baits!

The largest I've been told about from SOW BROOKE POND is an 18lb common to a local angler.
