Quiet times

Not been out for a few weeks due to work and the match scheduled for last Sunday on Apex was cancelled due to no one to run it and not many interested, sad times indeed.
I have been looking at the results / weights coming from the lower and middle Bristol Avon which is becoming very tempting. Chippenham is about 45 mins away from me and the local club are very active on the river, they have a great stretch and access is also good.
Next outing is a Clevedon Club Match on Ruscombe Lake at Bullocks Farm on 9th Dec, will be intresting to see if it goes ahead, after that the Christmas Match will be on Acorn Fishery which will prob be a sell out.
I believe we should have more Silverfish matches even if they are on a commercial and it might bring the attendance numbers up.
Anyway  reports (I hope) to follow over the run up to Christmas.

Tight lines

Clevedon Club Match 11th Nov - Plantation main lake

What a hard day, the results and press report below give an overview of the day. I drew peg 1, not great, had 3 carp for 18lb which was good on the day, some anglers DNW and some packed up early.

Press report......

Rod Wotton and Andy Hembrow enjoyed a head to head battle during the latest Clevedon Freshwater Angling Club competition held on the main lake of the Plantations complex at Kingston Seymour. Both of them were pegged opposite each other and both fished the same method which was the pole at 14 meters with pellet on the hook and spraying regular helpings of pellet to attract quality carp throughout the five and a half hour match. Rod took an early lead in the first couple of hours but Andy was soon catching up and at the end there was only a couple of fish between them. Rod weighed in 138lb 4oz and Andy put 133lb 14oz on the scales. Their nearest competitor was Kev Perry with 56lb 7oz, after that the weights dropped dramatically with the majority of anglers struggling. Glenn Calvert won the silverfish prize with a mixed bag for 16lb 4oz caught on chopped worm.
