North Devon Match Group Result

by | posted in: Match Fishing, Sidebar | 0
Many thanks to Tom Downing for his excellent report from the North Devon Match Group.
Eighteen of us ventured up the M5 to Durleigh Reservoir near Bridgewater. Upon arrival it was overcast with a slight ripple… Perfect Bream weather and spirits were high! There was plenty of fish caught all over with all anglers in attendance having an enjoyable days fishing! Even if the weather took a turn for the worse with a couple hours left with the wind picking right up and the heavens emptying slowing the sport down some what!
Winner on the day was Mathew Sampson from peg 16 with 90-03 caught on the cage feeder and a method later on at 40 m
2nd on the day was Tom Downing from peg 17 with 79-11 all caught on a hybrid feeder at 60m
3rd on the day was Keith Mountjoy 18 with 54-03 on a cage feeder at 55m.
Section winners were Dave Walton 54-01
And Ian Croxton (wants to catch Bream sing along out now) with 48-04!
Clear by the results that the pegs closer to the shallows were better but plenty of fish caught along the whole Bank! Certainly a venue we will be looking and booking again in the future! Next match is jennets Reservoir on the 18th!
