CBVSAC-Match 1 – Conwy Estuary Rover – 25th April 2009

Posted by - 26/05/09 at 08:05 am

A disappointing turnout of 21 club members fished the first leg of our summer league in the Conwy estuary.

The match was fished 3 down and 1 up, so the majority of people headed for the lagoon to target the Flounders. However those of us who have previously fished there with the juniors headed to Benarth, in the hope the Eels had arrived there.
The winner was Dave Mitchell with 4 Flounders for 2.48 Kgs, including the heaviest fish of .95 Kgs, ( 02-01-08 ).
Second was Chris Jackson with 5 Flounders and 7 Eels for a weight of 2.36 Kgs.
Kev Jones was third with a Flounder and 6 Eels for 1.72Kgs, Terry Jones fourth with 2 Flounders and 3 Eels for 1.67Kgs, and 8 year old Thomas Jones showed its not just the juniors he can beat by finishing 5th overall and top junior with a Flounder and 3 Eels for 1.14Kgs.

Kev and Terry Jones were top team with 69 points.
