Terry Newton Collection

Caught this lovely Common Carp of 11lb 12 oz while fishing Smiggies on Friday 4th October. I was fishing expander pellets at a top kit and 2 sections. The lake was well up the banks after all the rain and I wasn’t expecting to catch much but ended up with Bream, Skimmers and a couple of Tench for a decent day.

Smiggies is beginning to produce some quality tench now. My last 3 sessions have included tench. On this occasion (25/4/15) these two beauties came at the beginning and at the end of the session. The smaller of the two was caught on the pole at 5 metres on meat, and the bigger one was caught in the margins on corn skin. In between came a decent bag of Silvers some two pound plus all caught on meat, and for the first time in over a year not a crayfish in sight.

Had a nice surprise while fishing on Colver for Carp on a jigger float and banded pellet. This nice perch of around 2lb took my 6 mm pellet.

Terry with an oft caught Golfish from Smiggies....This beauty is now around two and half pound, and still vividly coloured. Terry hooked Goldie on a piece of sweetcorn whilst fishing peg 1. It was part of a bumper day where Terry bagged some big Bream along with a few Skimmers and six lovely Crucians.
