Ashley Bunning has been among the fish at Lower Tamar, not catching anything bigger than 12lb but plenty of action. The larger fish are being a bit elusive at the moment! Ashley had this to say:
‘PVA sticks with Burton Bait Rollers ‘Puzzle’ and ‘Full S.P.’ with a ‘Plum and Garlic’ pop up was the winning method. Lakebed Leads 4oz distance leads which were dropped on the take, with Ultima ‘Vantage’ Shockleaders and XR mainline helped me hit the distances i needed and play the fish through the weed.’
Melbury Top Water Carp
Jamie Rusling has been in the action at Melbury Reservoir, near Bideford, with some cracking fish. Jamie managed 4 fish on a surface fishing session with the largest being a cracking 26.08 common backed up by a scaley 17lb mirror. Jamie returned a couple days later to bank three more fish at 23lb, 19lb and a Ghost carp of 14lbs.
