THERE has been some good fishing at Creedy Lakes near Crediton during the last week.

More than 30 20lb fish were caught on the bank from the main lake.

Copplestone's Phil Jefferies had two cracking sessions.

On his first session Phil banked three commons scaling 25lbs 9oz, 24lbs 8oz and a 17lbs 13oz. Feeling he was on a roll Phil returned for more action, this time banking a 25lbs, a 24lbs 13oz, a 19lbs 13oz and one of 18lbs 15oz.

Crediton's Mike Izzard also had an amazing week and had three sessions at Creedy as the fishing was so prolific.

To date this season Mike has already banked a total of 15 x 20 pounders which is well on track to better last year's record.

In the first session Mike banked a total of 14 fish with four of them being 20 pounders, 25lbs 5oz, 25lbs exactly, a 24lbs and one of exactly 20lbs. In total his bag weight amounted to 221 lbs of fish.

Mike's second session was the largest and heaviest bag for the week of 19 fish, all commons. His catches were topped by a 22lbs 8oz and a 20lbs 8oz along with 14 doubles and three single figures giving a combined bag weight of just over 281lbs of fish. Mike's third session brought a total catch of 11 fish, all commons with the heaviest pair scaling 21lbs 5oz and 20lbs 10oz, his bag weight came to 147lbs of fish.

Cheriton Fitzpaine teacher Chris Charlwood banked three fish and also tempted heaviest mirror carp for the week when he landed his 24lbs 5oz specimen. His other two fish were commons of 15lbs 3oz and a single figure carp.
