Martyn Thomas stand-out performer at Tydd Gote Angling Club on North Level to edge out Archie Greenwood

Tydd Gote Angling Club returned to the North Level at Main Road for this week’s club match but found the drain out of sorts in the prolonged dry weather.

Martyn Thomas on peg 28 was the stand-out performer, with three bites, two fish and first place with his two bream for 7lb 6oz.

Martyn had a bream first cast to double worm and followed it up half-an-hour later with a bigger specimen to just edge out Archie Greenwood’s 7lb 4oz on peg 29.

Archie had a lovely net of roach up to a pound to his groundbait and pinkie approach and, but for a dropped fish late on, would have taken the win.

Ian Benton was on peg 16 and included a 3lb bream with his smaller fish for 4lb 12oz and third spot, just pushing Andy Spencer’s 4lb 11oz of quality roach to pinkie over hemp from peg 32 into fourth.
