Fishing form has been more challenging again this past week.  Probably more of the action has been from the mid to deeper water regions of the main lake and boillies fished with pellets have proved tempting to som of the larger catches.  Some great fun sport has been had in the top lake with marmite bread and maggotts proving a good tempting bait.

Heaviest catch for the week was by Crediton angler Phil Reed.  Fishing into deeper waters from the left hand bank Phil tempted two common carp during his session and his best fish tipped the scales to 26lbs 10oz.  

Holidaymakers Steve and David Cooper of Derby both had action at the same time at Creedy.  They were fishing at the first peg of the right bank amid shallower waters when Steve landed a common carp scaling 21lbs 10oz.  His son, David, then hooked a good sized fish which tipped the scales to 17lbs 10oz.  Pictured below are the two catches on the bank at the same time, Steve (right) with his 21lbs 10oz and David left with his 17lbs 10oz.

East Brent angler Martin Stephens fished the top of the right hand bank and tempted three commons during his session. Topping his bag was this 20lbs 9oz common carp which is pictured below.  The 18 year old was enjoying some sport before his A level exam results are due - good luck Martin.

Martin's father, Graham Stephens also banked three good mid doubles best scaling 17lbs 8oz.

Exeter angler Darren Passmore recorded largest bag for the week with his 9 fish session.  Topping Darren's bag was a cracking 17lbs 7oz mirror carp along with 8 commons best scaling 17lbs 2oz giving a combined bag weight of just over 101lbs of fish.  Kingsteignton angler Andy Webber had two personal best catches during a recent Creedy session.  Firstly Andy banked a long fish scaling 13lb s 4oz, he then temped one just short of 9lbs 8oz and finally he hooked a mirror carp tipping the scales to 18lbs exactly.  Toni Toffole banked a pair of double figure commons best scaling 15lbs and Tiverton's Rob Hern also temped a pair of low double figure commons.
