Sunday 8th March - Clevedon Club Match Paddock Lake Acorn Fishery Kingston Seymour

I had not been out fishing for a few weeks and was thinking of fishing the River Kenn or Tone when a text came through for a second time from Match Secretary Adie Baker. I decided to support him by booking in for the match as I appreciate how hard he works to organise the Clevedon events.

I do not have a great track record on this venue and theres not much to say. Here is the Press Report and the Weigh Sheets, not rocket science to work out that it was a difficult day unless you were on them.

Clevedon Freshwater Angling Club – Match report for Sunday 8^th March

Clevedon Freshwater Angling Club held a match on their home water, Paddock Lake at the Acorn Fishery Kingston Seymour. The lake was shared with a visiting club from Bristol which meant most of the pegs were taken. Anglers with a bit more room than others were likely to benefit and that’s exactly what happened. Mike Owens fishes the venue on a regular basis and made no mistake when he drew in form peg 6, he had the shortest walk and plenty of room as well as a bridge for a feature. Mike fished soft pellet on the long pole and fed micro pellet for a match winning 78lb 14oz of carp to 5lb. Second place went to Lance Tucker on peg 21 which also had a bridge as a feature and fished a similar method to the winner to catch 10lb of silver fish and 54lb of carp. Nick Harvey had plenty of room on island peg 1 and used a variety of baits to catch carp on the pole totalling 36lb. Top silver fish weight went to Match Secretary Adie Baker with 18lb 2oz.

This Saturday 14th March I am fishing the Lower Avon Champs at Newbridge (bream bonnanza!), Team Captain Chris Hook is also fishing so a draw on the straight would be good down to 55 ish.
