Sunday 15th July Clevedon Club Match Woodland Lake Chiltern Trinity

A mixed bag today, a lot of anglers struggled, this match was switched to Woodlands Lake instead of the larger Wildmarsh. Woodlands does have a good head of skimmers but it would always be the vermin that win the day. No match officals today so Glenn Calvert and Kev Perry ran the match, thanks guys and I did the adding up of the weights at the end, I new my Irish O Level in maths would come in handy. I weighed in a total of 28lb, more or less half silvers and half carp, next time I fish here I will keep it simple. Anyway here is the press report rather than torment myself and go through my match hour by hour.

Harvey nicks a win

Nick Harvey

Nick Harvey won the latest Clevedon Freshwater Angling Club match on Woodlands Lake which is part of the Trinity Waters complex near Bridgwater with a fantastic weight of 84lb 5oz. Nick took full advantage of peg 2 which was in a quiet corner of the lake and protected from the wind and .bright sunshine. He caught quality carp throughout the 6 hours offering and feeding 8mm hard pellet Nick fished shallow in 10 feet of water and no more than 6 meters out and to nearside vegetation. Second and just over 10lb behind was venue expert Andy Hembrow with 73lb 15oz from peg 27. Andy caught from the ‘all in’ and fished various methods during the day in order to keep the fish coming. Despite breaking a couple of sections of his pole and loosing quite a few fish Rich Lovering persevered and put 66lb 4ozs on the scales providing some much needed cash to help pay for his replacement pole sections. Top silver fish net went to Lewis Jones, as the scales came around Lewis was admitting to 8lb, he actually weighed 25lb!
