Taunton Angling Association

2 weeks ago

This weekend saw the second round of the President’s Cup, held on the Bridgwater & Taunton Canal at Swans Neck.

We only had 10 anglers booked in this weekend due to a clash with several other local matches, which, in the end, was probably a good thing! After spending Tuesday and Wednesday clearing swims in some pretty warm conditions, 10 pegs was about enough. 😅

There had been plenty of big fish showing in this section on Friday, particularly at the downstream end where some quality bream had been rolling. The big question was whether they would show during the match.

This end of the canal is usually well coloured thanks to the amount of boat traffic using it these days, and with another bright, sunny day forecast, that was likely to work in the anglers’ favour.

As it turned out, the big shoals of bream never really switched on, and it was the anglers targeting mixed bags of silver fish that came out on top.

Making it two league match wins in a row was Dan Baldwin, who put together a quality net of small skimmers, silver bream, roach and rudd to finish with 11lb 9oz.

Second place went to Tony Cinicola with 8lb, anchored by a cracking 6lb bream.

Third place was Steve Hall, who weighed 7lb 3oz, including a fine 2lb eel that certainly boosted his final tally.

Congratulations to everyone who fished, and thanks again to those who helped clear the pegs earlier in the week. With two rounds of the President’s Cup now completed, it’s all to play for heading into the next match. ... See MoreSee Less
