A good weeks fishing with 16 x 20 pounders landing on the banks at Creedy recently. Good news for all those anglers who braved the busy bank holiday weekend as this was the most productive time - particularly whilst the wind was fairly strong and there was a good surface chop on the water.  All three main banks have produced some nice catches with ledger tactics and zig rigs being the preferred method of fishing.

Heaviest fish for the week was by Mick ???  on holiday from Essex who cast out into mid water depths whilst fishing the far bank.  His rods hadn't been in the water long when a rod screamed off and after a 20 minute fight Mick landed his specimen common which tipped the scales to 28lbs 2oz.  Les, Mick's younger brother not to be out done managed also to tempt a common which weighed in at just over 20lbs.

Visiting guest,     , from Heathrow near London was well pleased with his catch, a 23lbs common carp when he fished from the top of the left hand bank amid shallower water depths.  His fellow angling companion,   , also banked a nice common weighing just over 22lbs.

Craig Stone of North Petherton had plenty to smile about this week when he hooked himself a new personal best fish, a well proportioned common carp weighing 25lbs 12oz.  The somerset angler also landed three mid double figure commons up to 20lbs.  Exeter angler Danny Lee banked just the one fish during his session at Creedy, his common tipping the scales to 23lbs exactly.

Graham Stephens of East Brent fished at the top end of the right hand bank and tempted his first ever 20pounder, a common carp which tipped the scales to 20lbs 5oz.  The catch, a new personal best fish for Graham is pictured below:

Graham's son, Martin, also landed a nice catch, a common weighing 17lbs 10oz , also pictured below:

Dave Morish of Umberleigh, North Devon, recently fished the shelf swim on the far bank and was well rewarded for the long walk around the main lake. Topping his bag was a cracking mirror carp weighing 20lbs 8oz and was also accompanied with two commons scaling 18bls 3oz and 15lbs 2oz.

Stockport angler Wayne Ellor continues a good week and his best session consisted of 3 fish, all doubles best weighing 21lbs 2oz..

Ollie Oakford of Exeter had been planning his family outing for a couple of weeks recently.  Mum, Dad and Ollie chose to fish on the far bank and after a slow start to the day 11 year old Ollie was well rewarded with his catch, a common carp tipping the scales to 20lbs 2oz.  Mum, Caroline also managed to later tempt a nice common scaling 13lbs.

Tiverton's Guy Lavery banked 3 commons with his best catch scaling 20lbs 1oz.  Exeter angler Jason Eveleigh hooked two comons best of 20lbs 8oz and Seaton's Keith Osborne fished the right hand bank and tempted just the one fish which weighed 20lbs exactly.

13 year old Reece Williams from Salisbury recorded a 6 fish day recently.  All the fish were common carp and his heaviest fish for the day weighed in at 20lbs exactly.  Junior angler Jordan Price also recorded a great day when he landed a total of 4 fish one session.  Topping his catches wasa  common scaling 22lbs 3oz which also set him a  new personal best catch.  George Osborne fished the right hand bank and landed 7 commons in all with his best fish scaling 20lbs.

Kingsteignton angler Mark Walker fished mid way on the right hand bank and landed 5 commons in all, all doubles.  His catches ranged from 13lbs 4oz up to 18lbs 12oz and his combined bag weight totalled 80lbs of fish.  Bridgwater angler Shaun Deplege also found success on the right bank banking 5 fish in total with 4 good sized commons best scaling 19lbs together with a ghost carp weighing 13lbs 4oz.  Geoff Jones also enjoyed a good day';s sport banking 3 good commons best of 18lbs.

Up in the top lake Tony Johnson of Gloucester scooped heaviest catch for the season with a fully scaled mirror carp which tipped the scales to 23lbs.  Some good mid double figure commons have also been hooked out of the top lake including Wayne Ellors 15lbs common.
