BAKE TWO DAYER 2018

Looks like North Devon Tackle Club and a great weekend at Bake Lakes. Many thanks to Barry Lee for sending this excellent summary. The images are great and give a good idea of what a fun weekend it was!

What a great weekend, maybe not so much on the fishing front, but the company, banter & beer made up for that!!!

It was good to see some of the anglers that normally struggle to catch a few, Mick Seward weighing in 70lb+ over the two days and in particular Terry Ramsden who went on to win his 2nd ever fishing match yesterday with 77-14…. well done chaps!

A big “thank you” to Andy Seery for supplying us all with prizes…. in fact this years top 2 were using So Simple pellets & groundbait.
