THE Specimen Lake has been producing great sport at Town Parks Fishery .

Anglers working their swims hard have been rewarded with some very good fish.

Local rod Lee Jones fished a white chocolate boilie over a small bed of bait and banked four carp. Fish of 23lbs 9oz, 22lbs 4oz, 18lbs 9oz and 15lbs 3oz came to the scales during a frantic night time session.

Jones fished peg two, laying his baits next to the small island to the left of the swim.

Colin Delany also visited peg two later in the week and took an immaculate common which tipped the scales at 24lbs 1oz. The fish fell to a single bait offered near the central bar.

Delany's fishing partner Matt Everill also had a good session, this time from peg 14.

Everill banked three carp to 16lbs 2oz and also lost another larger fish during a two-hour afternoon spell.

Plymouth rod Chris White fished peg 12, placing his bait tight to the reeds in the margin. During his 24-hour session, White banked five carp, the best a nice leather of 20lbs 2oz which fell to a coconut pop up.

WHAT a whopper! Six year old Troy Pomeroy had the best fish of the day on a trip to Sundridge Lodge near Yealmpton.

Troy has only been fishing five times in his life and on two of these occasions he has caught monsters! His 6lb carp was the largest of 36 fish caught that day.

The young man from Churchstow near Kingsbridge has previous for catching big fish as he pulled out a sea bass at Bantham last year using a fold-up fishing rod.

Troy has been taking tips from the top as his mentor is conger eel champion Martin Larkin, who has been world record holder for 20 years with a shore-caught specimen of 68lbs.
