Our anonymous benefactor is wondering if anyone has caught any of the crucian that we stocked into New Hall yet? If you have please drop the webmaster a line or to at webmaster@maldonas.co.uk:
“Today Monday 4 May I went to New Hall for a spot of fishing, I was hoping to catch some Crucian Carp! I started in one of my favourite swims and after two hours I had not had a bite!! I moved to a swim next to the large Lilly Pad and I struggled to get bites but managed about half a pound of very small Roach and Rudd but no Crucian’s. I have never had such a bad day at New Hall in the past, always having a good bag of nice size Roach, Rudd and small Bream. I noticed that someone had been fishing at some time in the first swim by the Lilly pad it would be nice to know what sort of session they had. So I was wondering if by the web people could post their reports of New Hall.” – Anon.
With a big thank you to the anonymous member who donated £500 to us to buy crucian carp for New Hall reservior I am now pleased to confirm that 85 crucian have been introduced to New Hall. Probably around 30lbs in all – good size fish, the largest about 8oz.
New Hall is closed to fishing for the month of April so these fish will have a month to settle in before fishing resumes on Friday 1st May.
