Sunday 21st July - Clevedon v Frys Durleigh Res

I had intended to fish this match but due to a heavy week at work plus having to go in on Saturday left me totally knackered and I needed some sleep.

When Adie Baker sent a text showing the results I regretted not going but another surprise came when he informed me the top weight was made up of bream and the other 6 top weights consisted of roach!!!

Clevedon angler (and a person who loves fishing for silvers on natural venues) James Gunter was drawn on the far bank on peg 5 caught steady throughout the match on the tip for a match winning 58lb 4oz of bream.

 In second place was Fry's stalwart Merv Sivell who was on peg 5 with 52lb 4oz of roach on the whip.
