Dave Fowler Snr Memoral Charity Match River Kenn 20th September

I could not fish this match but here is the Press Report:



There was an excellent turnout for the Clevedon Freshwater Angling Clubs annual Charity Match in memory of club founder Dave Fowler Senior which was held on the river Kenn. Leading up to the match the river had been fishing well producing good nets of fish to pleasure anglers. A bright day, clear water conditions coupled with a mid-day tide made the fishing really difficult and fish were hard to come by. Jeff Surman drew peg 30 just below Strode Road and fished the long pole all day with maggot on the hook enticing two big bream and a smaller skimmer for a match winning 11lb 12oz. Paul Faires was second with a bag of small fish for 6lb 13oz followed closely behind by Paul Randell with 6lb 3oz for third place. Mike Owens won the ‘Guess the winning weight’ prize by only being 1oz away. More importantly £630 was raised for the charity Men Utd v Prostate Cancer. The club would like to thank the Blue Flame for their hospitality, Ecolab and local angling shops Veal’s, Cadbury, Oliver’s and Reel fun for their sponsorship.
