After a hearty breakfast in the Brendon Arms 28 anglers tackled the canal in very wet conditions, this lasted until lunch time. Wayne drew peg 42 just before the bird hide and after several looks across on worm switched to maggot at 15mtrs on the far bank landed 2 fine carp to easily take first spot. Nathan fished the waggler and pole with maggot on the first peg in the top basin 27 for a lovely net of roach and skimmers,for second. Kevin Shears took 3rd from the bottom basin peg 16. North Devon Match Group took 8 of the top 12 places helping them victory, After the match the Brendon Arms provided welcome refreshment.
Sunday October 1st – Match at Clawford was a bit of a washout with only John Lacey and Neilsen Jeffery fishing ! Never mind had a lovely day with good company. We fished adjoining pegs on Edwards lake and made it a five hour match. I managed to take the pound weighing in 108lb 8 oz and John weighed in 80lb 8oz.
