This Weekend’s match was at Wych Lodge.

It was very nice to be back and doing something different to the normal TAA match.
We don’t often get to target Carp as a rule.
With 9 anglers booked on it’s meant that we could leave the worst and the best peg’s out in the aid of fairness.
I’m not sure it’s made any difference 🤔

The weather was rubbish with drizzle to heavy rain most of the day. ☔️

The results.

Trevor Stark in the corner peg next to the bench has had a busy days fishing. Trev has caught most of the day on the pole at 11m fishing 6mm hard pellet.
He’s also had several fish down the edge on Corn. For a winning weight of 60lb 12oz

In second place Martin Chiffers on peg 2 has had some better stamp carp for 48lb 2oz
Martin has caught all his carp on Dead Red Maggots.

The Silvers winner Dan Baldwin with some nice Roach on Caster for 8lb 6oz. ... See MoreSee Less

What a fantastic day on the Bridgwater and Taunton canal concluding our last Let’s Fish event for this year.

Today’s participants enjoyed their sessions filled with fun, laughter, good conversation and of course the opportunity to catch plenty of fish. Back at our normal location, towards Maunsel Lock, fishing from our purpose built platforms, all participant’s caught a wonderful selection of fish which included gudgeon, bleak, bream, roach, perch and rudd.

As always, our participants fished with poles and whips using maggots, pinkies and worm as bait.

For our returning participants we were able to help them build on their previous Let’s Fish angling experiences.

Mike and I would like to thank all of this year’s participants for attending and keeping us company whilst enjoying their angling experience, and, for many was their first insight into fishing. We wish all of our participants the very best with their future angling adventures.

Once again, a very big shout out to our friends and colleagues at Somersetboat Centre and Canal and River Trust who continuously provide us with their very kind support which helps to make our Let’s Fish events the massive success that they are.

My favourite comment from today’s event came from one of our younger participants who was very excited to have caught their very first ever fish and then continued to say ‘ah…. I have a phobia of fish!’….. I do hope we helped a little today to overcome that. 🐠

Mike and I very much look forward to seeing some of our past and future participants at next year’s Let’s Fish events.

Tight lines and with best wishes, Paul and Mike. ... See MoreSee Less
