This weekend’s match will be at Newbridge in the Tone. It’s also a president’s cup match. (Round 4)The water has started to flow so the duck weed has cleared but there is still plenty of eel grass. With this in mind there will be a limited number of places. To date there is about 12 pegs cleared I’m looking to some work down there Wednesday evening if anyone fancy getting covered in 💩 we can cut the lower section below the bridge. If we don’t manage to get them cleared I’ll look at other options. Unfortunately we didn’t get a great turnout for the weed clearing so I’ll have to cap it at 16 upstream of the bridge. The lower section is still very shallow. The Draw will be at Newbridge at 8.15amThe pools money £17.00The fishing from 10am to 4pmIf you have fished the league and would like to fish please comment below 👇🏼 1. Dan Baldwin2. Ian Burton 3.

A change from the norm this weekend, with no match in the club calendar, so we decided to run an open match on the West Sedgemoor Drain.We decided to do this with the King of Clubs qualifier coming up on 20 September. It gives us a chance to get a bit of bait into some of the pegs that aren’t normally used, which should hopefully help get the whole stretch fishing.We managed to attract 20 anglers, so we put 10 either side of the railway bridge.The weed has continued to grow, so a bit of peg clearing was needed during the week. However, as things stand, the weather is finally producing some rain for a change! With the drain being topped up, there’s a chance of a little more flow, which can only be a good thing. 🤞The river at Newbridge also started to flow this week and even overtopped the gates, helping to push some of the duckweed through as well. 🥳Hopefully, with a bit more water and some rain, conditions will continue to improve.Being an open match, we can take a little more in pools money, allowing us to spread the winnings a bit further.For this match, we paid the top two overall, along with the winners of four mini-sections, each covering five anglers.The result was almost the same as in the main-frame last match, but this time Richard Bradley managed to get the better of Will Bate.Richard had drawn underneath the Railway Bridge on the downstream side and started catching quality roach on hemp from the very start. At the all-out, he had managed a cracking weight of 19lbs 6oz.Will Bate, on peg 20, had to wait until the second half of the match before he started putting some quality fish in his net, catching on elderberry over hemp seed.He finished with a very respectable 12lbs 2oz, enough to take second place overall and win the section covering the 10 pegs above the railway.The four section winners were:A. Adam Rich with 10lbs 11oz, including a lovely tench weighing 6 lb.B. Mark Saunders with 7lbs 13oz.C. Lee Holliday with 3lbs 9oz.D. Dan Baldwin with 8lbs 10oz.
