🎣 Weekend Match Results 🎣After clearing a few swims on the River earlier in the week, it quickly became clear that it just wasn’t going to be fishable, so we moved this weekend’s match to the West Sedgemoor Drain.The Drain also needed a few pegs clearing, but it’s a lot easier work than the River. We started at the Railway Bridge and worked our way back downstream towards the Pumphouse. With only nine anglers booked in, we’ve managed to get two pegs short of the Broken Bridge.The water had a slight tinge to it, but once again the wind was blowing upstream, leaving the top four pegs with quite a bit of scum on the surface. Thankfully, this cleared once the pump kicked in.The fishing on the Drain has been pretty good this year considering the weather we’ve had, and today was no different, with some really good weights.🥇 1st – Will Bate – 20lb 2ozRoach and a cracking 6lb Tench.Will was on the bank from first light with Martin, studying the water and taking in the conditions — all while enjoying his premium shag and Earl Grey! 😂🥈 2nd – Richard Bradley – 19lb 15ozA fantastic weight made up of quality Roach caught on hemp.🥉 3rd – Martin Chiffers – 14lb 3ozAnother excellent result for Martin, who is absolutely flying at the moment 🪄Fishing the much-fancied Peg 1, Martin had a real mixed bag, but the fish of the day was a superb Roach very close to 2lb.Well done to everyone who fished, and thanks again to everyone putting the time in clearing pegs and keeping the waters fishable. 👏🎣
Match Update. We are going to need to change the venue. The River is just going to be too unpredictable on how many pegs will be fishable. I’m going to change the venue to Stathe drain as fish from the railway bridge back towards the pump house. Regards Dan
