Never seen this before, bloody fantastic.👍
I was reading through my old fishing stories recently and one of them was about a team match on the river Lodden. Must have been around 1980, I guess. Cardiff Nomads won that day and I remember one of your lot had come there after an operation with his innards held together with elastoplast. I remember thinking nobody could begrudge that kind of dedication the prize money. Maybe you remember who it was ?

Hi Terry I remember the Match I think that may have been Colin Cook who has sadly passed away Great memories though
love seeing these blokes fishing with Mitchell and abu 501s takes me back to when I started fishing as a kid . a lot of my heroes too like jan and tommy
That kid with the Mitchell Match reel (looks about same age as i would have been back then ), was using it with the feeder !. No reason why not, though they were designed as a float reel. I have tried it in recent times with my Mitchell Match, works fine. Though no clip so you had to learn to cast accurate back then. Sadly a lost art (accurate casting with no clip). Progress ?!
NICE TO SEE THE OLD DEAR DOING THE SCALES
Brilliant memories
Always good to have a look back. The changes in tackle is always of interest. No great “ lunar landing stages”” sorry platforms.
A popular winner. Those were the days. Plastic boxes, 506's and 1's. Great anglers 50 to 60 peg matches twice a week.
what a river the avon was then twyford was one of the tightest peged venues i ever fished and you could still get through 4 pints of maggots and 2 pints of hemp
Skille are still there today Clive but now in slow motion all the best champ
Good fun ^^

It's rob by the way
What year is it. Looks early 80s.
It looks like early 90's to me. I was match fishing quite a bit during this period. Hopefully Clive (same name) will chime in an give us a clue.
@@clivejones5880 Clive's car early in the video, was a " D " reg. That was 1986. Most anglers never had brand new cars back then, so guess it would be about 1989?.
Last i heard its all overgrown
You can still fish down there. There has been a couple of tough seasons, but the Avon is coming back well - had bream to over 7lbs in March this year.
