Clevedon Freshwater Angling Club held their annual Dave Fowler Senior Memorial Charity Match on the River Kenn in aid of The Pulmonary Fibrosis Trust. Leading up to the match the river had been fishing reasonably well, however on the day strong winds and clear water challenged the best of anglers. Committee member Rob Fogg actually won the match in the first 20 minutes. Rob drew peg 19 halfway between Strode Rd bridge and the Sea Wall and began on the ground bait feeder casting to the far bank with a mix of maggot, worm and caster with maggot on the hook. On his second cast he hit his first and only bite of the day resulting in a bream of 5lbs which was enough!
Second place went to Lance Tucker who put together a net of small perch and roach for 3lb 14 ozs closely followed by Club Chairman Steve Bonwick with 3lb 12ozs.
A total of £515 was raised for the Charity, the Guess the Wining Weight was won by A Fowler and earned him £242.
The club would like to thank Cadbury Angling, Olivers Angling, Reel Fun, Veals and Ecolab for their sponsorship as well as Angelina’s Restaurant and the Blue Flame Public House.
