Plymouth hosted us on the stunning Milemead fishery, on one of the hottest days of the summer so far. The weights have been exceptionally, with nets of carp and large roach brought to the scales. We look forward to the return match in August on Tarka Swims. We must thank John West , PDCAC Captain for sorting out the pegging fees, and organising the event.
