Devon In Fishing - Queenie out once more!

Despite the weather here at Newbarn Farm, everyone's favourite fishing holiday in Devon location, we have had a great week! Paignton angler Jimmy Whack won Newbarn Farm's Carp League after another successful catch in the final round. Whack caught an 18lb 6oz mirror carp to take his league tally up to an insurmountable 224lb 10oz. The other two anglers to record catches in the final round were Tony Pellant with a 15lb 8oz mirror and Tom Rushby with an 11lb 8oz common.

Jimmy is pictured above with a previous catch earlier this year of an 18lb Mirror.

The league will begin again in January and there are two places still available. Call us on 01803 553602 for more details.

Meanwhile Reg Hart, Lawrence Lee and Colin South had their weekly Newbarn Farm silvers match with Lee beating the other two by a mile, courtesy of a carp of 4lb and bag of silvers of 43lb. All caught a carp of similiar weight - maybe the same carp doing the rounds?

Richard Ward had a good session with a personal record of 12 carp to 21lb 10oz. Ward caught a number of these using our Newbarn Farm chocolate and pineapple boilies. He also had his first catches using pop-ups.

And only last Friday Dave Pierce caught Queenie on a night fish weighing in at 27lb 13oz, Dave is pictured here!

In addition to his carp league win, Whack also won the catch report lottery and can collect his free day ticket anytime this week!

And don't forget for those flung further afield we have 8 self-catering holiday cottages on site and fishing, so maybe you could organise your own league, round up your local group and have a great fishing competition at Newbarn Farm, a great Devon Fishing Holiday!
