Catch Reports
Goose Green
Goose Green was surprisingly quiet for such a glorious day on the 8-7-07 , Webmaster, Mark Emery, sat himself down on Peg 24 on Lake 3 at the fishery and enjoyed a bag up session, using the short pole and fishing the nearside margins with corn on the hook, Mark proceeded to catch 10 Bream, 4 Mirror Carp, the best tipping the scales at 10-7-0, he also included Perch, good Roach & Skimmers in his haul that finally tipped the scales at 68-4-0.
Les Taylor was also at Goose today, Les fishing his favoured peg on Lake 4 with the waggler, caught a bag of 15-3-0, which included Bream, Skimmers & Gudgeon, all fish were caught on sweetcorn.
Ron & Bill Hill were to be found at Goose Green on the 5-7-07 perched on Lake 3, both anglers fished the short pole and enjoyed masses of action, Bill beat his brother Ron by a considerable margin with a weight of 26-0-0, whilst Ron had to be content with 16-0-0, the brothers both included Bream, carp and silvers in their catches.
The evening of the 4th July, saw just two anglers enjoying some evening sport at Goose Green, these being Mike Symes and Dudley Chandler, Dudley perched himself on Tench Pond for a short session, fishing the short pole to nearside marginal cover with corn on the hook, Dudley caught just a single Tench, but added some quality roach later in the session.
Mike was to be found on Lake 3, fishing the feeder close to the island, Mike caught a carp of 10-0-0, however the action was not overly hectic and spotting cruising fish, Mike soon swapped to fishing floaters, this approach certainly did the trick and it was not long before a superb Mirror carp graced his waiting landing net
Moor Farm
Chris Cannon fished the Middle Lake at Moor Farm on the afternoon of Saturday 7th July through to dark, Chris reports catching a mixed bag of fish including 3 Tench, biggest 2lb 3oz, 3 Common Carp biggest 3lb 6 oz, an Eel of 2lb, a Perch of 1lb 7oz (caught on sweetcorn) and a Mirror Carp of 15lb 2oz.
River Arun
Mark Dibble ‘finally’ (as he says in his email) got out for the first session of the the season on the 01-07-07 and elected to fish the Arun at Greatham and sends the following report:
The river was as you might expect a bit high & pushing through on the run out, but it had a real nice tinge of colour. I feeder fished pellet & had four Bream, three of which were over 5lb, However fish of the day was a 1lb 12oz Roach & I’m well chuffed with that!, Mark sent a photograph showing this magnificent river Roach, copy attached.
River Adur
Mark West reports a wonderful session on the Adur at Streatham during the week, Mark, fishing the feeder with three maggots on the hook, caught a prime river Carp that was in absolute perfect condition, Mark advised that he did not know the weight of the fish, but looking at photographs, it would appear to be in the region of 6 to 7lb in weight, copy of the photograph attached for your appraisal.
Goose Green Development
We would like to thank our members for their patience on the 7-7-07 whilst the swim building was undertaken on Lake 4, all bar three swims have been completed and the Lake is once again open to anglers.
Special thanks go out to the “few” who turned out today to help with the swim building on Lake 4, these being: Tony Olliver, Pip Pranskus, Les Taylor & Mark Emery, as well as the “Women & Children” who worked in earnest topping up the paths with woodchip, these being Verity & her husband, Sandy Emery, Carol Parker, Simon (9yrs) & Colin Parker (7yrs) , the men that sat and fished and had the audacity to watch the women & children struggle, should be ashamed of themselves, a little help would not have gone amiss!!!!.
We did not manage to finish topping up woodchip paths around Lakes 3 & 4 as planned, therefore we will be holding a further work party at Goose Green on the 14th July, where we will hopefully, if we can get some help, get someway near completing the job in hand, if not then the work will continue over the following weekend and beyond until such time as it is finished .
The final phase of digging at Goose Green has been completed, all being well the machines will be off site in the coming week. Now the hard work begins with path laying, swim creation & masses & masses of planting!!!!, some help with the work would be appreciated, the Lakes don’t plant themselves, the work the contractors have accomplished on the site of Deep Lake is quite simply, stunning, for photographs and video of the work in progress please visit our website www.pulboroughas.com and click on Goose Green from the links bar, then look at Phase 3 , I have attached a panoramic “stitched” photograph showing the hole that is now Deep Lake, please let it rain and fill this 6000 cubic metre hole up with water.
