Summer Fishing
Posted by Jack Palmer on 26th June 2018 in Blogging |
Fishing for Newton Abbot Fishing Association's members has reached sky-high levels over the past few weeks following an upturn in temperature and spells of ideal weather conditions in the local area.
Not only has this seen some impressive match results, but also some excellent specimen catches from some of NAFA's most prestigious waters, including Carp Angler Richard Hamlyn who bagged himself a 22lb Common Carp from rackerhayes' Dores Pond.
The annual Charity Open, Tackle Trader Two Day Open and Festival match all threw up impressive weights, including Phil Coles' haul of 9 tench and a carp for 23kg on the final day of the 3 day festival from Peg 10 on Islan...

Local fishing has once again excelled this week, with fish being caught in numbers at the NAFA's rackerhayes complex and beyond.
Last week we promised the All-nighter final results, and it will come as a shock to absolutely nobody that the win went the way of Mark Cousins.
After a stellar league performance, he once again took the win on the night, with all three of the top weights coming from Island Pond. Nigel Jeffreys and Liam Dore made up the top 3, well done chaps!
The juniors also did brilliantly at Wapperwell last weekend, catching lots of fish (mainly F1s, Roach and Skimmers). A big well done to Jamie who won with over 19lb.
We also wanted to sh...

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to our blog, we hope you've had a great week. You'll be glad to hear that the local fishing has once again been fantastic this week, and with numerous reports of tench being caught from NAFA's rackerhayes lakes and some big carp being landed too. Last weekend's NAFA Carp match saw the pick of the Carp bags, with Tim Frost taking the win with two carp for 46lb 10oz from peg 20 on Island, including a 25lb 12oz beauty of a common. Leon Wilson managed second with a single carp for 30lb 8oz from peg 4 on Dores, with Lloyd Radford third with another single carp for 27lb 12oz from peg 25 on Island.

Declining air temperatures and longer nights have acted as a widely expected deterrent for many local anglers.
Despite this, some excellent local catches have been recorded over the past fortnight – none more so than from specimen Carp angler Josh Black who netted an impressive four Carp during a weekend session on rackerhayes’ Dores pond, including the current largest fish known to be owned by the club, the ‘Big Ghostie’ which topped the scales at 33lb 1oz.
Further, NAFA chairman Ian Powell - as he puts it - ‘had an hour’ on Key Transport Lake and netted a Perch no smaller than 2lb 10oz on a small live bait, another massively impre...Newton Abbot Fishing News - Durdu's silvers victory
