Taunton Angling Association - Club News
This weekend we hosted our final qualifier of the year for the King of Clubs, held on the West Sedgemoor Drain at Stathe.It was a 30-peg round and we filled all 30 places, giving us 15 pegs either side of the railway bridge and Two qualifying places.The A Section was probably not everyone’s section of choice, especially with the bright weather and lack of depth. A peg near the railway bridge with a little extra cover on the far bank would certainly have been an advantage, as would peg 1 underneath the big willow.The B Section, from the railway bridge back towards the pumping station, has been fishing well in recent weeks. Again, having cover on the far bank was crucial to keeping the fish in your peg throughout the day.Unfortunately, the water was painfully clear today, making it a tricky day for most of the anglers.The ResultsA Section Qualifier – Will BateWill qualified from the lower end of the A Section with a hard-fought 6lb 14oz, made up mainly of small roach and rudd.B Section Qualifier – Dickie BullDickie took the top weight in the match and qualified from the B Section with an impressive 13lb 6oz, catching several large perch and a huge Tench as the drain narrows towards the broken Bridge. Congratulations to both Will and Dickie, who now go through to the King of Clubs Final.Thanks to everyone who supported the qualifier and to those who helped get the pegs ready. Another great year of King of Clubs qualifiers for the club.Tight linesDan
