For the 2nd Round of the Snowbee Top Rod 2020 we were having our first boat competition of the year at Wimbleball, high up on Exmoor.
With a moderate Westerly wind of 20mph, plus a big wave at times we were lucky to get the boats out today.
We had a mix of sunshine and showers but when those heavy showers turned up the temperature dropped by a degree or 2.
Despite the conditions 14 anglers took part and caught 46 fish for a bag weight of 136LBS 8.5OZ
Average catch was 3.28 and average weight was 2LBS 15OZ
There were 8 bag limits and the best fish of the day went to Andy Gooding of Liverton - 5LBS 8OZ
Other notable fish were, Mike Steer of Bovey Tracey 4LBS 10OZ, Andy Watson of Bovey Tracey 4LBS 9OZ and Alex Venn Top Junior 4LBS 6OZ.
