Bank Holiday Monday 7th May Clevedon FWAC Ruscombe Lake Bullock Farm

Well another wet start but it did stay dry for us to set up and there was the odd bright spell during the day but when it decided to rain in rained. I ended up with 25lb 10oz, carp on the meat at 11 meters across halfway up the shelf. I had a good first hour and a good last two hours in between it went dead. 1st on the day was John Woolstencroft who fished a tidy match for 43lb (meat) pic below, last time I took a pic of John he was trying to land a duck.

2nd was the photogenic Adie Baker with 41lb 12oz.

3rd was Barry Fowler with 32lb 12oz, pic is a bit blury because Darren aka 'Nuddy' in the background unfocused the camera lense!



Press report as follows - Anglers Mail, North Somerset Times and Top Peg.

Clevedon Freshwater Angling Club fished their latest competition on Rushcombe Lake which is part of the Bullock Farm complex in Kingston Seymour. This was a rescheduled match due to the horrendous weather conditions the previous week end but Bank Holiday Monday was not that much better. Anglers stuck it out for the 6 hour duration and everyone caught. Top weight on the day came from seasoned match angler John Woolstencroft who fished meat across to far bank cover at 11 meters and then nearside margins during the latter half of the day for 43lb of quality carp. Second and not far behind with 41lb 12oz was Assistant Match Secretary Adie Baker who from peg 5 pole fished scopex flavoured maggot across to the far shelf. Third was Barry Fowler with 32lb 10oz. Next match is at Woodland Lake Chiltern Trinity on Sunday 13^th May, for more information visit http://clevedon-fwac.webs.com/
