Caistor Fisheries Fur and Feather Caistor Fisheries held a rather late Fur and Feather on Sunday 11th March With over 25 anglers pegged over ponds B + C there was still
plenty of room for everyone. The wind up on pond B was bitter and the water resembled the
North Sea rather than a pond. The draw took place at 8.00am after
most anglers had had a hearty breakfast. Mike Tuff into small Chublets on pole fished double bronze maggot from peg 8. Mark Westerman went straight on the feeder using caster and also found the Chublets. Karl Blackburn of Grimsby did likewise.. Back on Pond B everybody was finding the going very hard. Mike Rybakowski from Caistor had a Carp at just over 2lb on ledgered worm at about 12.o'clock Steve Fegan picked up a a couple of smaller Carp again on pole fished maggot. Darryl Warnes was not so lucky he lost 3 fish and then to top it cracked his no 8 section on his new pole. Anglers on pond C kept chipping away with Bream and Chub. Mike Tuff was by now showing the lead with a good 10lb of Chublets. Mark Allison was trying hard but just couldnt find the fish. The results of the free draw were as follows
Report for week ending 07/06/07 General All ponds fishing very well at present even though the Carp are still cleaning off. The weather has been rather unpredictable but this has only caused problems with the cool stiff breezes and the pole anglers. Pond A Water level good with plenty of colour to the water. Pegs 4 and 5 taking carp to double figures on float fished maggot and worm, some good silver fish showing in pegs 1 and 10. Mr Ludkin from Halesowen had just under 100lb of mixed fish in a 10hr spell midweek. Floating baits are producing although the ducks can be a nuisance. Pond B Plenty of activity with Carp showing on the surface all the time, Alan Mcclurey from Scunthorpe fished peg 20. It was cold and windy to start with and the fishing was slow. It took over an hour of cup feeding over a pellet bait to get their heads down amongst the bait. Once they started it was continuous. Alan ended the day with over 70lb of fish. See AMC.jpeg1 Pond C Still producing nets up to 60lb. The pole is producing well in the bay on caster and worm, pellet starting to pick up the bigger chub from pegs 3 and 17. Feeder tactics accounting for good nets of skimmers on maggot over chopped worm. Wednesday Night Open results 1st Daniel Kelly 11lb 10 oz Peg 5, Pole fished pellet 2nd Steve Fegan 2lb 10 oz Peg 12 Pole fished pellet 3rd Mike Rybakowski 1lb 20z Ledgered maggot Open matches are held every Wednesday Draw 17.30 Report Week ending 20/05/07 General Weather has been very poor with strong winds and heavy rain although temperatures have been good. The fish are now well into the spawning period with plenty of activity in the reeds and margins. Pond A Still some good fishing coming out on ledgered corn from pegs 1 and 10. Silver fish scarce even in the bay area. Evenings has produced a couple of 9lb Common Carp on floating dog biscuit. Pond B Pegs 19 and 7 seem to be the only constant hot pegs with Carp to 14lb on pole fished soft hooker (Strawberry) flavour. Tench still showing on ledgered corn from pegs 4 and 9 fished midway. Pond C Pegs 8 and 14 have produced 60lb nets this week on pole fished pellet, fished midway to the island. The nets were mainly Skimmers with the odd Chub and Barbel. Pegs 1 and 20 have had some reasonable nets of Chub on pole fished red maggot. General Rather poor weather with temperatures slightly down, fishing has been exceptional on the warmer days with 50lb mixed nets from B and C pond. Pond C has shown to be more productive on the cooler days. Water levels still very good even with little or no rain. Pond A Some good Tench taken on pole fished redworm from pegs 2 and 5. Carp to 6lb on float fished red maggot from peg 4. Silver fish shy at present as spawning starts. Pond B Plenty of activity above the water and below Carp to 15lb from peg 6 on ledgered worm. Pegs 19/20 producing plenty of Carp around the 3-5lb mark. Good Tench from peg 8 on ledgered sweetcorn. Plenty of smaller fish surface feeding and just below. Big Carp showing signs of spawning in the reeds. Evening sessions producing the better catches from peg 18-4. Pond C Fishing very well from most pegs, pole or ledgered worm for Chub and Bream whilst the Barbel are still taking double red maggot. Pegs 10 and 11 producing some very good nets of skimmers all around 2lb on pole fished worm. Chub still tight to the islands. Barbel are on the move most times and will be caught at any peg. Kavener and Gray had a private match from pegs 12-20 Eric Altoft topped the match with 28lb on pole fished caster, 2nd was Kev Surfleet with 12lb 4oz and third was Roy Turner with 6lb 12oz. Remember you need a current licence. Evening matches commence June 6th General Higher daytime temperatures have improved the fishing for most anglers although there has been a couple of keen frosts early morning which got things off to a slow start. Water levels are at maximum and water colouring is very good. Pond A Pegs 2 and 3 have produced Carp up to 9lb on floating mixer biscuit. Maggot has taken some good sized Roach up to half a pound on the float. A 5lb Tench was tempted to the net on double sweet corn on the pole from peg 8. Pond B Pegs 18-20 all producing well with Carp into double figures. The pole seems the best option with maggot or worm over chopped worm. Peg 4 has had some good nets with Carp to 6lb and Tench to 5lb. Early days yet for floating baits although the last couple of days have seen increased surface activity. Carl Blackburn from Grimsby fished peg 20 on a maggot feeder, using a 20 hook on 3lb bottom. He was well pleased with the results. (see cblack.jpeg) Pond C Still producing nets up to 50lb, most pegs producing fish. Daniel Kelly from Caistor picked peg 15 and fished the pole tight to the island under the overhang. Using fluros and white maggot he netted 16lb of Bream and Chub. (see dkelly.jpeg) Steve Fegan from Caistor peg 14 started off on single pole fished maggot with limited success. He then decided to change to white single and tight to the island fishing very light. He finished the day with a mixed net of Bream,Barbel and Chub (see fegan.jpeg) Open matches resume June 6th Call 01472 852032 for details Reports for week ending 23 March 2007 General The weather has been very poor for the start of this week, with a couple of sharp frosts, icy cold winds and 50mm of snow. Anglers were far and few between.The odd Carp was caught by those who did brave the elements. Ponds B and C showed improvement towards the end of the week with Bream and Chub been taken from high numbered pegs on pole fished caster/worm. The Bream seem to be holding in the bay pegs where the water is deeper, fished light and tight to the island.Small meat chunks have accounted for one or two Barbel. An odd couple of decent sized Perch have bee caught from B on float fished worm. There have been plenty of Ide and Goldfish on float fished maggot from pegs 4 & 5. Some larger Carp are taking off the surface but no reports of any being caught. Reports for week ending 09/03/07 General The weather has again determined the quality of the fishing. Water levels are extremley high. Early mornings are not being as productive as expected. The fish seem slow to start to feed. Pond A Carp being very shy at present. Some good silver fish being caught on the pole from pegs 1 and 2. Maggot or worm seems the best. A couple of Tench to 4lb came out of peg 9 early evening to ledgered sweetcorn. Pond B Similar story, biggest Carp this week being a 9lb Common on pole fished worm from peg 6. Some fine Skimmers from pegs 2 and 4 on pole fished bronze maggot.The odd Tench from peg 11 on ledgered maggot. Some very big Perch showing from several pegs up to 3 1/2lb on ledgered worm. Pond C By best, producing well, the bay giving good nets of Skimmers to 35lb, whilst lower pegs holding good shoals of Chub. Barbel being rather choosey and keeping their heads down. Black caster seems to be amongst the best baits with meat cubes next. Week ending 03/02/07 General Not much improvement in the weather although the fishing has improved slightly. Water levels still very high with good colour in all ponds. Pond A Has produced several Carp to 6lb with plenty of small silver fish. White maggot or worm seems to be favourite. Pond B Some very large Carp showing on the top, several decent fish to 9lb taken on feedered maggot. The odd Tench showing on float fished worm from pegs 4,5 and 6. Always plenty of Bream and smaller silver fish in the margins. Barbel and Chub proving rather shy at the present. Pond C Plenty of Bream from pegs 7-12 on red maggot either on the pole or feeder. Pole fished black caster seems to be doing the trick with the Chub anywhere along the island edges. One or two Barbel have been caught to feedered maggot from pegs 15 and 17.

Report Week ending 23/02/07 General Once again the weather has been somewhat unsettled. This has proved to be the governing factor to whether you will catch fish or not. With just a little sun you can expect some good Carp from either A or B. At one time when the temperature rose to 12 deg they were even feeding of the top. Maggot (red or white) still a definite with worm a good back up. Fish not taking protein baits. C pond producing some good results from the pole anglers who are able to get tight to the islands. The bay is still good for Bream but they do seem rather shy these last few days. White maggot seems favourite although Steve Fegan had a good days sport on pole fished red maggot from peg 8. His 6 hour session gave him a respectable 20lb net of Chub and Bream. Daniel Kelley of Caistor along with cousin Josh had several fish on the feeder from pegs 12 and 6. Mostly on maggot. Report Week ending 27/01/07 General Weather conditions have been very changeable. A few keen frosts have kept water temperatures very cold. The sun has shown but has done little to warm things up. Water levels are well up Pond A Some good Rudd and Roach coming out of pegs 1 and 10 to pole fished maggot. Not much activity on the large Carp scene. Pond B Silver fish taken on maggot pole fished at 6m from pegs 3 and 6. The feeder seems to be the better option with Common Carp to 12lb on double maggot, tight to the island from peg 3. The odd Crucian from peg 18 on bread punch. Pond C Still producing nets of over 50lb in these conditions shows the potential of this pond. Pegs 7-14 are the favourites with 7 and 8 being the hotspots. Down size your bottom end to a 20/22 on a .8 hook length. Double maggot with a few loose to keep the interest going. The feeder has been producing better than the pole at present fished about .5m from the island in pegs 7 or 8. Don't over feed and keep the bank side activity to a minimum as they are easily spooked at this time of the year. Report Week ending 14/10/06 General
Weather has been rather unsettled
with only a few bright spells. Water
levels are up to maximum. Natural
baits unless the sun is out when a
floating bait can do the business.
Worm seems to be the main attraction
in pond C whilst maggot has
accounted for a few fair sized Carp
in B pond.
Pond A
Silver fish still showing in peg 1
tight against the reeds on pole
fished maggot. Plenty of surface
activity during the warmer spells.
Tench not showing at all.
Pond B
Pegs 19-20 producing Carp to 8lb on
pole fished maggot. Several Barbel
to 2lb from pegs 8 and 9 on ledgered
worm. The margins are still worth a
try for the odd larger Carp. Some
good nets of Bream from pegs 4 on
float fished worm over chopped worm
and hemp. Nigel Wright from Leeds
peg 4 had over 35lb mainly Bream
with the odd Chub all taken on this
method. "The bites were ever so
slight" he remarked. Andy Price from
Doncaster had several Carp to 6lb
from peg 17 on pole fished caster,
he fished tight to the island on an
18 hook, 2lb hook length. Mr Bare
from Middlesborough had several
large Carp on floating baits and
also maggot from peg 19.
(see
bare.jpg)
Pond C
Most pegs producing mixed nets
although the Bream are tending to
stay well down in the deep water.
Peg 14 accounting for net of upto
50lb of Barbel and Chub to pole
fished maggot over chopped worm and
hemp. The bay is fishing well but
far out and once again maggot over
chopped worm.

Reports by Mike Rybakowski
29/09/06 General
With not too many bad days of weather
this fishing has remained fairly good
for those who have fished and fed
lightly. Floating bread accounting for
some very good sized Carp in both A
and B pond. Worm fished over chopped
worm is still giving good results from
C pond although the Bream seem to be
rather shy at present. A few anglers
are still not sticking to the
groundbait rules. If they continue to
pile the balls of groundbait into
their swims the end result is that the
water will turn sour. Before we allow
this to happen, we will be forced to
ban the use of groundbait altogether
so dont spoil it for yourselves and
everybody else, "Use your Common".
Pond A
Peg 1 proving to be very tricky with
the silver fish taking the gear
straight into the reeds. A few Tench
showing from pegs 2 and 3 on float
fished corn. Carp in the evening to a
floating bait from pegs 6 and 7.
Pond B
Colin Green (Grimsby) peg 2 Fished
bronze and red maggot straight on the
the rod. Got straight into a 6lb12oz
Common Carp
(green.jpg). Colin had 8 other
Commons around the 3lb mark plenty of
small Perch and Roach and a couple of
larger Barbel.
Stevie Snapper Atkinson (Hull) peg 7,
As normal Snapper had a very late
start, he fished alongside his old
mate Steve Fegan. Snapper started off
with a few little bits early on the
feeder with red maggot upto the corner
of the island. Steve Fegan was
catching Carp one after the other so
Snapper went over to see where he was
going wrong as Steve had set Snapper's
rig exactly the same as his. Within an
instance Snapper had stepped on the
end section of Steve's new £3000 pole,
which was laying on the bank. Snapper
got over this ordeal and went back to
serious fishing and finished the day
with a 40lb mixed bag.
Fred Cross (Grimsby) peg 19 took a
beautiful 9lb Common on pole fished
sweetcorn on a 2.5lb bottom.
(cross.jpg) Fran Dagnall from
Sheffield fishing peg 5 took this
excellent 9lb Common on ledgered
maggot.
(dagnall.jpg)
Pond C
Lloyd McBride (Doncaster) peg 19
fished the pole to the island on red
maggot. Good mixed bag of Chub and
Skimmers.
Wayne Denford (peg 4) Fished the pole
just under the ledge on the island on
red maggot, he was rewarded with a
20lb net of Chub, Bream and Ide
Mick Crabtree (Grimsby) peg 14, After
his 3rd consecutive day Mick managed
to catch his first Barbel on red and
white maggot fished tight to the
island, by the end of the day he had a
good net of Bream, Chub and a Barbel.
Dave Malins (Immingham) peg 15.
Although Dave managed to win the
Christian Salvesens Charity match he
has still not managed to catch his
first Barbel but saying that he had a
good net of Chub and Bream on pole
fished maggot over a bed of hemp and
worm.
General
Very warm weather and good pond levels
have produced several days of excellent
fishing with B pond having feeding
frenzy's late afternoon early evening.
Some anglers are having poor results due
to 2 main reasons-1/Overfeeding, these
pegs are fished everyday, the fish don't
want 10lb of groundbait in a lump,
little and often will keep them
interested. 2/Fish light this is not the
North Sea, I have line that must be
25lb+ wrapped around ducks and my
lawnmower also hooks that could be
better suited to a crane! You will
damage the fish and spoil your day. So
please be sensible. As for the majority
of our anglers, thankyou, enjoy your
time here and keep up the good work.
Pond A
Excellent fishing from pegs 1,2,10.
Floating bread will guarantee Carp Some
good Roach from peg 1 but big fish are
proving hard to keep out of the reeds.
Sweetcorn has produced some good Tench
on the feeder. Colin Robinson Peg 4 had
9 Carp to 4lb and was broken off on
bigger fish. Pole fished bread/pellet.
Pond B
Dave
Stembridge (Grimsby) managed to get
down to some serious fishing, he had
plenty of small stuff and at lunchtime I
went up to see how he was doing. I
adjusted his rig, and then he hit into a
great Mirror Carp that just touched the
9lb mark. This beat Steve Fegan's best
of the day who could only manage 8lb
12oz and was totally gutted. Although
Steve did have a bag full of other fish.
Peg 19 seems to have slowed down
slightly and the fish seem to be moving
around better. Some good sized Carp
still coming out on pole fished pellet
in the margins. Plenty of Bream and
Barbel to pole and float fished baits.
Pond C
Good nets of Skimmers coming from the
bay pegs to pole fished maggot and
pellet. Chub and Barbel taking pole
fished maggot/worm from pegs 2-5 and
16-19. Plenty of bites but they are very
quick and fine. Feed small amount but
often. Harry Coates from Retford fished
peg 14. He was on the pole, using pellet
and chopped worm he had a net of 54lb of
mainly Skimmers with the odd Chub and
Barbel.
Week ending 08/09/ General
Continued unsettled weather has affected
the fishing slightly with pond B still
rather slow to produce the bigger fish.
Ponds A and C doing better mornings and
evenings. Water levels are upto full
capacity now.
Pond A
Pellet and sweetcorn accounting for some
good sized Tench on the pole from pegs 2
and 3. Roach to 1lb and plenty of small
Perch on maggot from pegs 1 and 12. On
calmer days floating baits, bread or dog
biscuit picking up Carp to 8lb. Early
evening has produced several good nets.
Pond B
The island is still holding the shoals of
Carp although they seem reluctant to feed
at times. The anglers who have persisted
seem to have had sizeable fish but have
worked hard for them. The hot peg being no
19. Pellet fished just on the ledge is
still proving the best option. Larger fish
being taken on the feeder with flavoured baits
from pegs 4-9. Margin fishing can still
produce some good nets. Daniel Kelly from
Caistor is still proving to be an angler
to be reckoned with he had several good
Carp to 8lb from peg 19 on pole fished
pellet as well as some very good sized
Roach and Crucians.
(kelly.jpg)
Pond C
Early morning has accounted for bags upto
50lb on pole fished pellet from pegs 7 and
8. Pellet fished to the island over
chopped worm and hemp will keep the
Skimmers in the swim. Barbel and Chub
still being caught in good numbers from
pegs 3-8 and 12 -17. Pole fished pellet or
maggot tight to the island where possible
or in the deep holes at the end. Fish
light, size 18 on a 2lb bottom is
sufficient. Do not overfeed.
Week ending 01/09 General
Very changeable weather has not really
affected the fishing. All ponds are fishing
well mainly late afternoon to early evening
being the best. Small Perch still being a
nuisance Pond B pegs 14-17 when using
maggot.
Pond A
Dave Staniland (Sheffield) fished Peg 1
tight to the reeds with catmeat. Carp to 4lb
with plenty of bits and pieces.
Pond B
Declan Robinson (14yrs) Peg 15. Proved that
prawns are a good all round bait. They
accounted for Tench and Carp to 4lb plus Ide
to a 1lb. Phil Dunham had a good mixed bag
using pole fished meat from Peg 10. Jeff
Newans (peg 6) also had a good net full on
pole fished meat/pellet. Shaun Smith had a
14lb 2oz Mirror on sweetcorn 5lb mainline
fishing half way across, loose fed corn and
pellet
Pond C
Tony O'Conner from Stalybridge Peg 17. Pole
fished red maggot over a bed of chopped worm
to account for bag of just under 40lb, the
bag was mainly made up of Chub.
Big Gordon (Upton) from Birmingham used the
method feeder to net a good bag of Bream and
Barbel from peg 4 in just a few hours. Kevin
Price (Stalybridge) pole fished worm and
sweetcorn mid water to net just over 30lb of
Skimmers.
Week ending 11/08 General
Continued unsettled weather has affected the
fishing slightly with pond B producing best
during the day and ponds A and C doing better
mornings and evenings. Water levels are up to
full capacity now.
Pond A
Pellet accounting for some good sized Tench
Marzena Polejowska (Poland) had Tench to 4lb
on pole fished pellet. Roach to 1lb and plenty
of small Perch on maggot from peg 3. Daniel
Kelly (Caistor) had Mirror Carp to 8lb on pole
fished pellet from peg 4.
Pond B
The island is still holding the shoals of Carp
with the hot peg being no 19. Pellet fished
just on the ledge has proven itself with
Darryl Warnes from Rotherham taking over 60lb
of Carp in one session. (see darryl2.jpeg) and
(darryl3.jpeg) Plenty of single large fish
being taken on the feeder with flavoured meat
from pegs 4-9. Michael Burns (Grimsby) peg
11, took an 8lb Common with a few other bits
on worm and sweet corn on the rod. Steve
Atkinson of Hull caught several excellent Carp
from peg 7 using sweetcorn on the ledger.
(see acko.jpeg)
Pond C
Early morning has accounted for bags upto 40lb
on pole fished pellet from pegs 7 and 8.
Pellet fished midway at 5m over chopped worm
and hemp will keep the Skimmers feeding but as
soon as the Barbel move in the Skimmers tend
to move into deeper water. Darryl Warnes from
Rotherham fished peg 9 to take over 45lb of
Bream and Barbel on pellet and would have been
well on the way to beat the pond record had he
not lost his top two sections to a fish.

darryl4.jpeg)
Reports by Mike Rybakowski
Week ending 04/08/06 General
The weather has been very changeable with prolonged periods of heavy rain. The water levels have risen quite well and we are now back to 85% capacity. The keep net ban has been lifted on all ponds. Although anglers are still having to be reminded to dip both keep nets and landing nets.
Pond A
As conditions have improved so has the fishing. With plenty of double figured Carp being taken around the lily pads and reeds. Maggot still the favourite bait. Floating baits still catching. Tench to sweetcorn and worm from pegs 1 and 6 on the pole. Good size Tench showing to sweetcorn early morning from pegs 6 and 7 on the pole.
Pond B
Some good sized Crucians showing although day time fishing has been rather patchy. Pellet accounting for the bigger fish especially peg 18 - 1. Daniel Kelly from Caistor took this fine 9lb Common on pole fished pellet.
Pond C
Darren Copley (Grimsby) peg 20.
A night fishing session brought a 60lb plus net of mainly Barbel. Taken on the pole with worm or maggot tight to the reeds.
Ben Hobbins (Rothwell) peg 1
Over 40lb of Barbel and Bream taken on pole fished jelly pellets, once again fished tight to the reeds.
Report by Mike Rybakowski
Please ensure you have a current rod licence and keep the banks tidy.
Week ending 28/07/06
General
Water levels starting to rise steadily now as new waters from the recent downpours are entering from the springs and beck. The temperatures have been high with stiff breezes at times.
Pond A
Some cracking Tench to sweetcorn from pegs 2 and 4 on the rod whilst silver fish have been slightly more illusive. Carp have been rather fussy during the day buy late evening has accounted for Commons upto 9lb on floating baits.
Pond B
The Carp have been taking surface baits. Some very good Crucians from peg 19 and 20 on pole fished maggot on size 18 hook, tight to the island 4" over depth. Float fished bread accounting for Tench upto 4lb plus. Some decent Commons to 10lb being taken on ledgered pellet from pegs 4 and 5. The water level has risen about 18" and this seems to have given the fish enthusiasm for feeding.
Pond C
Throughout all the poor conditions Pond C has never stopped producing although midday has often been the time to relax until the intense heat and sun dropped away slightly. Plenty of Chub and Barbel from low and high numbers whilst the bream have stayed up in the bay.
Keep net ban still in force for all ponds except matches.
Baits available on site
Why Why Why !!!!
Once
again the mindless few have darkened our doorstep,
the ladies showers were vandalised on Friday
night/Saturday morning. Causing a few hundred
pounds worth of damage. We have been notified by a
colleague that fish from our fishery have been
offered to other fisheries. This has resulted in
extra CCTV's being installed, keep nets being
banned temporarily although low water levels have
also been a factor in this issue. True anglers and
fishery owners must keep united on these issues
because at the end of the day these villains are
not bothered about the damage they do to buildings
or fish stocks. The Environment agency are working
hard to try prevent these thefts and illegal
transfers of fish. They increase the chances of
diseases being spread and also the increase in
dayticket costs but they do need our help.
General
Excessive heat has resulted in low water levels.
The fish have been feeding but large Carp have
avoided the hottest hours of the day which has
resulted in early morning and evening sessions
producing the larger fish to surface baits.
Pond A
Plenty of Tench to 2lb from pegs 2 and 5. Taken on
float fished sweetcorn. Evening sessions producing
Carp to 9lb on floating mixer and bread. Weed can
be a slight problem in pegs 5 and 6. Silver fish
very slow.
Pond B
Pretty much the same story with better fish being
caught early morning and evening. Some good
Crucians coming from pegs 9-12 to pole fished
maggot. Tench to feedered corn on pegs 5 and 6.
Worm still taking good sized Bream and Roach on
light gear from most pegs.
Tony Green and
his son from Leicester had several good sized Carp
on floating crust and dog biscuit, the largest
being just under 10lb.
Pond C
Plenty of Chub and Bream from low numbered pegs on
double coloured maggot fished just off the island.
Barbel and Bream from deeper pegs to pole fished
pellet or maggot. Not as many heavy bags over the
last week but we have put this down to the low
water and high temperatures rather than the theft
of fish.
We are offering a reward to anyone supplying
information leading to the prosecution of persons
caught stealing fish or causing malicious damage.
Please call us
Mike Rybakowski
General
The continuing dry spell as lowered water levels
even more. We have had to place a temporary keepnet
ban on Pond C to minimise fish loss. The fish are
still feeding well although during extreme sunny
periods the larger Carp spend more time basking.
Maggot and pellet still producing better catches of
Carp and Bream but sweetcorn seems to be the Tench
favourite in pond A. As from 1st August 2006
Caravans will be available for rent.
Pond A
Plenty of action here with many double figure Carp
being taken on pellet or floating mixer. Some good
Tench upto 3lb from Daniel Kelly in peg 4 on
sweetcorn with plenty of small Perch to maggot
Pond B
With levels down 15" the fish seem to have come away
from the island into the gully. Steve Johnson from
Hull had a 50lb mixed bag from peg 11 all taken on
pellet and red worm. Steve was on the pole at about
7 metres. Steve Fegan fished peg 19 Wednesday pm, he
caught 2 Carp tight to the island, it then went
quiet so Steve came away from the island about 5ft
and then it all began with Bream to 2lb Carp to 5lb
and then a Mirror that
topped the scales at 12lb. Steve continued
fishing and was soon into a "monster" that took him
half way around the pound and then snapped his hook
length. By 9.oclock Steve had caught over 60lb fish.
Pond C
Oxygen levels have dropped slightly with the lack of
water. The Barbel are not feeding as hard as normal.
Bream nets upto 50lb from pegs 8-11. Jeff Newans
from Grimsby excelled with a 45lb net of mainly
Bream and Chub all taken on worm from peg 11. Young
Daniel Kelly from Caistor could not wait to get back
from his holiday in Spain to get his gear out again.
He fished peg 2 late evening and was catching
chublets one chuck after another.
Please remember to dip your nets and take your
litter home
General
Excessive temperatures and low water levels have done
nothing to deter the fishing. Floating baits early to
late evening are producing Carp to 18lb from Pond B
and 12lb from Pond A. Red maggot and worm still a good
option in all ponds, with pellet and sweet corn
producing 50lb+ of Bream and Tench.
Pond A
Peg 5 produced several fish into double figures on strawberry flavoured floating crust. Best method seems to be to only flavour one piece out of several or use dog biscuits and one piece of crust as the hook bait. Silver fish still spawning in the reeds, some good sized Roach taken to float fished maggot from peg 1. Mick Tuplin from Grimsby had a brilliant Carp well into double figures but unfortunately when his mate tried to help him land it, over eagerness paid the penalty.
Pond B
HOT SPOT PEG 19!!
Steve Fegan from Caistor took just 6 hours to net 66lb of fish all taken on pole fished pellet tight to the island. He had Carp to 8lb and Tench to 4lb with several Crucians all above 2lb. (see fegan66.jpeg) Jeff Newans from Grimsby came for a couple of hours after tea. He fished the pole tight to the ledge on the island, In the first hour he had 9 Common Carp totalling over 40lb and within the next hour another 6 and 4 Tench the largest being just under 5lb. Mark Skid Allison from Caistor took Carp to 8lb on ledgered maggot/sweet corn (see skid.jpeg) Daryl Warnes from Sheffield had a fantastic mixed net of 60lb including Crucians to just under 3lb and Commons to 8lb, once again on pole fished pellet on the island ledge.(see crucian.jpeg)
Pond C
Pegs 9-12 have been producing bags of Bream unto 80lb. Most fish being taken on either pole fished red maggot/worm. Plenty of Chub and Barbel from the shallower island pegs. Small Ide proving to be a nuisance when anglers are over feeding the swims.
Day Tickets available from the café 07.30 – 15.00
Report by Mike Rybakowski
General
Water levels still down considering a couple of really
heavy evenings of rain. The temperatures have been high
with stiff breezes at times.
Pond A
Some cracking Tench to sweetcorn from pegs 3 and 4 on
the rod whilst good nets of silver fish from pegs 1 and
12. Carp have been rather fussy during the day buy late
evening has accounted for Commons upto 9lb on floating
crust. Alan Cartwright from Leeds had 8 fish and weighed
in at 56lb all taken on the bubble float with crust.
Pond B
The Carp have been taking surface baits as well as
maggot and pellets on the pole. Some very good Crucians
from peg 19 and 20 on pole fished maggot on size 18
hook, tight to the island 4" over depth. Float fished
bVacanciesread accounting for Tench upto 4lb plus. Some decent
Commons to 10lb being taken on ledgered pellet from pegs
4 and 5.(see Carpb.jpeg)
Pond C
Jeff Kay from Barnsley had a great days sport with a
40lb mixed net from peg 16. Jeff fished single sweet

Week ending 23/06/06
General
Pond A
Pegs 1 and 10 providing catches to 30lb of Roach and Rudd with the occasional 3lb+ Tench. The pole fished tight to the reeds with maggot or pellet on an 18-20 fished slightly over depth seems to be this weeks tactics. Small amounts of loose feed. Small fish can be a problem if you over feed on maggot. Pond B Hot Pegs this week 6,7,8 and 19 with some anglers now telephoning to reserve pegs. Carp to 16lb on pellet from peg 16 fished 8-9m out. Chopped worm in the cup will keep their interest although the bigger fish are cruising about. Pellet producing nets of Bream to 20lb from peg 4. On the pole fished 2-4in over depth. Once again fish and feed light. Peg 5 produced some great fishing for local angler Lee Hanson (Caistor) he caught several good sized Carp on ledgered bread. His total weight was just under 40lb (see carp. jpeg) Pond C With all the hot weather we have installed an aerator in the bay, whilst some anglers may feel this spoils the fishing the results prove different. even so it is a must in spells of hot weather especially for the Barbel. Peg 20 produced a 16lb net of Barbel for Kevin Kitchen of Immingham, fishing tight to the reeds on meat. A re visit from Matthew Brandon of Lincoln to peg 9 gave him a 35lb+ net of Bream. Matthew fished midway between the bank and island on an 18 hook and 3lb bottom. Single maggot. Carl Blackburn from Grimsby produced a fine bag of just under 20lb from peg 5. The net was made up of Bream and Barbel taken on the feeder between the islands using brown crumb in the feeder with a mix of maggot and castor and white maggot on the hook (see carl. jpeg).
Darryl Warnes from Rotherham in peg 9 took
24lb of Bream from just a few feet from the bank on triple
red maggot (see warnes.jpeg),
Baits are now available on site, these include maggots,
worms, pellets, paste, meat, sweetcorn and cat food. Please
note that landing nets are to be used at all times on all
fish.
Reports by Mike Rybakowski
Pegs 9-12 for the Barbel Eric Altoft on Pond C peg 19 had a net of over 50lb of mixed Carp, Chub and Bream fishing pellet tight to the island on a 16 hook.
Reports for week ending 19/05/06The silver fish seem to be rather shy with all the activity from the Carp and Tench. One angler fishing peg 9 had a mixed net of over 40lb of Carp and Tench. The Carp all fell to waggler fished bread laid on about 4 inches on a size 14 hook while the larger Tench fell to double sweetcorn. Pellet is still attracting good fish during the day whilst evenings are still producing large Carp to floating baits. Pond B Most baits are catching fish. Pegs 18-20 on the pole tight to the island have produced so good mixed nets. Local angler Mark (Skid) Allison who recently returned back to Caistor had a storming day with over 50lb of fish. Mostly taken on the quivver as the weather made the pole hard work. He fished pellet and worm on a size 16 with a small drennan feeder to the edge of the island on peg 7. He tried supplement his catch by fishing the margins with a whip at the same time although this cost him as many fish as the whip produced I reckon. On the two occasions I went around the pond he had fish on both and landed none. Plenty Crucians upto 2lb have been taken from pegs 8-12 these have been mainly on the pole with worm lightly fished. Pond C Caistor Fisheries w/e 3/03/06For the few brave souls that have ventured out to the fishing ponds over the last few weeks the results have been inconsistent to say the least. The only thing that has been consistent is the weather, for the most part cold and windy with some snow, sleet and rain and several days when the ponds have been frozen over. We have had plenty of visits from anglers who are happy to walk round the ponds and plan their fishing sessions for when the weather improves, which hopefully will not be too much longer. In the meantime to keep you all in touch with the performance of our ponds this is what has been caught lately. POND A The most sheltered of our 3 ponds has not seen a lot of activity as it tends to freeze over quite quickly during the winter. Roach and perch have been coming out of this pond mainly to red maggot and castor from pegs 1, 2 and 3. POND B This pond has been fished the most during the winter and has produced some good catches {see photos}. Mirror and common carp into double figures, taken on red maggot, castor and sweet corn plus good roach and barbell. Pole fishing to the island still seems to be the favoured location with pegs 1 to 8 doing well. POND C The Barbel, Chub and Skimmers have been showing throughout the winter and have kept some of our anglers busy for a few hours. Once again maggot and castor fished to the islands have produced the best nets. The quiver tip has produced fish when the wind has been too strong for the pole.
Sunday October 2nd After several slow days Shaun Smith from Cleethorpes decided to waken things up with the beautiful 15lb plus Mirror Carp. Caught from peg 19 Pond B. Shaun had been loose feeding small carp pellets and using catmeat on a size 16 tied direct to 5lb line. He was fishing tight to the island. Weekly Fishing Reports for w/e 05/08/05
A few heavy showers to spoil a couple of days but apart from that the
weather has been average for this time of year. Water levels in Pond C
have dropped slightly but this has not affected the fishing.
Pond A
Plenty of fair sized commons on pole with pellet and corn, pegs 1 and
10 producing best fished just off bottom tight to the reeds. Floating
dog biscuit producing bigger fish late evening or early morning. peg
12 has also produced some good Carp to float fished luncheon meat.
Pond B
All pegs seem to be producing good mixed nets and larger fish. Late
evening and early morning still best. One or two big Tench being
tempted on maggot around 15-17 pegs. Good nets of Crucians, Skimmers
and Chub coming out of peg 12 to meat fished lightly over fishmeal
mixture. (see prowse187.jpeg) tutti-frutti was the flavour of the day
for Andy MCarthur from Grimsby who had Carp to 7lb on
the feeder.
Now the school holidays are upon us it's great to see the fisherman of
tomorrow wetting their nets. Louis Volley of Grimsby
who night fished peg 14 had an excellent night with Carp upto 6lb on
maggot. Harry Davidson from Broughton aged 8 had his
very first experience of fishing and what a day brilliant sunshine and
plenty of fish. Perch galore with a few odd Roach all to single white
maggot on the pole.(see davidson.jpeg)
Pond C
Still plenty of fish to be had from most pegs although the hot pegs
over the last week have all been from 14-18. Maggot producing well
fished tight to the island. As the water temperature has increased the
Skimmers are now being tempted by paste baits. Allan Fannon
of Grimsby was into a Skimmer a chuck using pole fished paste in peg
12. Graham Rouse of Westlands AC managed to get stuck
into a goon mixed net of Skimmers and Chub using half a worm tipped
with maggot pole fished tight to the island from peg 12. Phil
Sheldon of Brigg had a cracking day with a 45lb net of
Barbel, Skimmers and the odd Chub from peg 16 on double maggot fished
tight to the island.
Caistor Fisheries weekly reports for w/e 15/07
The temperatures have been extreme this last week with very little
rain. Some fish seem to be still cleaning off after spawning.
Night fishing on pond A and B has been very productive with plenty of
doubles showing in both ponds. Favourite baits in A are still white
maggot and castor on the pole. While B has had the larger fish on
floating mixer biscuit. High numbered pegs on B for big bags against
the island. The waggler catching on pegs 8 and 9 just off the island
tip.
Pond C has produced some great catches over the last week with 20lb in
a few hours being notched up by several anglers. High numbered pegs
along the back seem to be producing best with maggot fished tight to
the island. The bay pegs seem to have slowed right down now with the
bream shoaling in the shallow waters. Chub still to be caught along
pegs 2-6 on most baits.
Weekly Fishing Reports for w/e 08/07/05
Once again a total mixture of weather yet the fishing seems to be less
affected than the anglers.
Pond A
Some very large Carp topping, plenty of smaller fish to most baits,
with maggot still providing best results.
Andy Cunningham (Hull) peg 2.
Tench to 4lb on pole fished corn to the right of the reed beds, plenty
of silver fish on pole fished maggot as tight to the reeds as
possible. Andy had a top weight of 38lb 7oz for a 6 hour session.

Neil Topliss (Grimsby) peg 4
Tench to 4lb, Carp to 7lb and plenty of smaller silver fish all to
float fished double red maggot about 3 rod lengths out.

up with a large shoal cruising around both early am and late pm.
Pellet seems to be producing well.
