🎣 President’s Cup – Round 7 | West Sedgemoor DrainToday we were at the West Sedgemoor Drain (Stathe) for round seven of the President’s Cup. We had 14 booked in, stretching from the Broken Bridge back down to the Pumping Station.It was almost a case of whether we should move the match due to the wind and the exposed nature of the drain, but we decided to stick with it!The forecast was for gusts of up to 40mph, which certainly makes pole fishing difficult, to say the least! 😅💨The water was still very clear, despite the amount of rain we had yesterday. However, the extra rainfall brought the possibility of some pumping activity at the station, which often gets the Roach feeding. 🤞🐟 and they did turn the pump on for a couple of hours in the middle of the match this really helped. The ripple was also going to help keep the bigger fish, particularly the Tench and Perch, from being spooked.Talking of Perch, there were some fantastic fish caught today, with perch reaching an impressive 3lb!Les Braunton had four of them for a fantastic 12lb 9oz, along with a few smaller fish mixed in.All in all, the fishing was brilliant throughout the section, a world away from what we experienced on the river last week!🏆 So, to the results…🥇 1st – Dan Baldwin with 19lb 6oz of roach and perch, caught on single caster.🥈 2nd – Tony Cinicola with 16lb 12oz, made up of three tench and a couple of perch.🥉 3rd – Steve Bishop with 14lb 6oz of roach and rudd.👏 4th – Lee Stanley with 14lb 5oz of roach caught on hemp.A great day’s fishing despite the challenging conditions, and some cracking Perch making an appearance!
This weekend’s match (Sunday the 25th) will be on the West Sedgmoor Drain.
