November 2007
Summer's over and what a good one its been with some superb
fish gracing the banks. Paul Mansie starts us off with a
lovely
brace of 30's Cartoon at 30lb 12oz and Casper at 32lb
10oz, both were caught in a 48hr session. Howard Carter
landed a cat weighing in at 34lb 10oz together with a 20lb
8oz Mirror. Cobbleacre regular Marty Howe had a
cracking common at 26lb 9oz along with Chris Hubbard who
landed a leather at 24lb 4oz. Mark Batson was bowled
over after landing 3 up to 23lb 4oz. We have had many
reports of high teens and low 20's and a 34lb cat
falling to one of our holiday makers. Most swims have produced
some good catches this year but the Beach, Snags, Lawn,
Dugout and Channel being very productive. Many types of
bait produced fish but fruity baits along with maize,
source and garlic flavored baits being among the best.
The what's Happening Page has been updated to have a look at what we are planning to do in
2008
It only remains for us to
thank everyone that came along to Cobbleacre this year
and hopefully you had an enjoyable time.
THANK YOU

February 2007
Mario's
has had a lake record grace the bank for local angler
Leo Self. A common at 35/8, the fish was caught on
31/01/07 from the beach on a homemade squid and octopus
pop-pop fishing close to the island. Since then Leo has had
another visit to us and banked a 19lb and a 22/8.Other
anglers, Rob Anderson (not the bailiff) had 5 fish out
up to 27/8 and in the same week Dave Hall from Leeds had
4 out up to 25/4.Geoff Hall had the one at 23/9. Fish
also came out to Marty Howe a brace for him 2 fish
up to 25/8.The following week Aaron Nolan had a brace up
to 26/4. So all in all a few nice fish have
graced the bank the last few weeks.
With
the weather now hopefully settling down to some
comfortable temperatures we hopefully should see some
more fish on the bank.

1st November 2006
The
biggest fish fell to Scott “Cowboy” Townsend
fishing from the snags, Scott landed the fish
named pistol at 29/10, we saw the same fish
earlier in the year at a lower weight, it was
nice to see the old warrior come out at a good
weight again and to show that these fish are on
their winter munch. photos of the fish in our
gallery. Also on Mario's local carper Steve
Banham had a brace earlier in the month a mirror
of 28/10 and a common of 22/4 both fish coming
off the lawn. Some of the 24hr ticket boys also had
one or two fish between them with photos to
follow soon. With
the weather now turning colder this is the time
to get your lines in the water as the carp will
soon be getting there heads down before the
winter sets in. one or two of the harden
anglers are on the lake this week so hopefully
fish will grace the bank.

1st September 2006
With another week of fishing finished by our
anglers on Mario's only a hand full of fish
graced the bank. Geoff Hall came out on top with
a 31/3 common and another one at 20/4.While
Steve Banham had three fish up to 23/4. Dave
Hall also had a ghostie at 20/2. all fish came
from the snags and peg one area. Meanwhile at
the other end of the lake on middle top, Alan
Page had three fish out over night the biggest
being 22/5 so it just shows that fish will grace
the bank at the top end of the Lake. So
hopefully with the weather on the change again
the lake will produce this weekend.
