Not much to say about today, very hard only ended up with 10lb but better than some who realy struggled. Started of with 2 fish on the bread then a tench in the margins - that was it!

Press report below.

Clevedon Freshwater Angling Club kicked off their winter programme of competitions at Trinity Waters just outside Bridgwater. Anglers were not only glad of the extra hour in bed but also the rise in temperature from the previous day. As usual competitors were greeted with complimentary tea and coffee on arrival and orders taken for superb breakfast rolls which were delivered to the anglers pegs an hour into the match. An hour into the match it was evident the fish were going to be hard to come by with just a few anglers catching despite feeding cautiously due to the flat calm conditions and the water still very cold. Andy Hembrow had fished the venue during the week leading up to the match and used up to date information to assist him win the match. Andy pole fished at 14 meters straight out in front fishing no more than 1 foot deep in 10 feet of water using pellet on the hook and spraying pellet at regular intervals for a magnificent 161lb of carp. Second and over 100lb behind was club match secretary Barry Fowler with 42lb 1oz, Barry had some quality carp backed up with some silver fish caught on the worm. Top silver fish net went to Mark Barlett with 12lb of bream, skimmers and roach.
