Richard Dalmas Beats Lake Record!
Bury Hill's Temple throws up two 30's including a new lake record!
The unusually warm weather has certainly prolonged the fishing this year, with both the Old Lake and Temple Lake still producing some excellent catches for those who have braved the wet conditions.
Regular Richard Dalmas from Eastleigh, Hants, was one such angler who was rewarded last week with a brace of Temple 30's which included a new lake record!
Richard Dalmas, 37lb 8oz mirror
|
Supported by a 24lb 4oz mirror, Richards brace of mirrors weighed 37lb 8oz and 31lb. Richard fished deep-water peg no.8, fishing a Shoreline Bait Services boilie to the island margins. The larger of the two mirrors carries tag number 143554, this fish was stocked from the King George on the 7th August 2004 weighing 33lb 5oz.
However it was 18 months until this fish was caught, having put on just over a pound. However this year the big mirror was caught five times, and its weight gradually increasing from 34lb to its present 37lb 8oz.
Richards other thirty, a 31lb mirror, was caught on similar baits and tactics. This fish carried tag number 187990 and was stocked on the
14th December 2005, weighing 24lb from Claremont Lake, one of Bury Hill's rearing lakes.
This is the third mirror stocked around 24lb from Claremont to break through the thirty-pound barrier in less than 11 months.
