Perry St Pond – Spring League 2 – 11th April 2010
Much better weather for this one and the day started brightly (pun intended) when the league’s sponsor, Chris Haines, gave us all Keenets sunglasses to cope with the extreme brightness of Bish’s seatbox! At least we would now all be able to concentrate on our floats. Bish is pictured in the centre (red fleece) with his box and the anglers are …
Perry St Pond – 4th April 2010
The weather was much better and there were even some blue patches in the sky and a big orange thing shining away! All I needed to do now was draw a corner peg! Les drew peg 10 and has now taken over Roy’s mantle as corner boy! I drew and opened my hand to reveal peg 11, a corner peg! I now …
Perry St Pond – 2nd April 2010
There was a full house for the annual Good Friday match but conditions were awful with freezing cold rain pelting down and lots of rain during the night as well might well make the fishing hard. I was still praying for a corner peg though as loads of carp had been moving in pegs 10 and 11. Les announced the draw and …
Perry St Pond – Spring League 1 – 28th March 2010
It was the first match of the ever popular Spring League and also my first visit for ages. I had heard it had been a little patchy because the weather was still so up and down but there were still carp to be caught and weights had been fairly reasonable. It was great to see loads of people I hadn’t seen since …
Perry St Pond – Spring League – 7th June 2009
The last round arrived and I was lying in third place in the league, but my position was by no means safe with Alan Dunn, Picky and Terry Green-Niblett breathing down my neck. Second place was also achievable with Steve Bush only three points ahead of me, Chris Haines was too far ahead for me to catch although Steve could with a …
Perry St Pond – Spring League – 24th May 2009
The weather was the complete opposite to last weeks wind and driving rain, the sun was out and everything looked set for a good day. This was penultimate round of the Haines Angling Spring league and as I was currently lying in third place I really needed a good result to keep me in the running. Big Les announced the draw and …
Perry St Pond – Spring League – 10th May 2009
First of all I would like to say a huge thanks to everybody who came to my birthday party on Friday. Yes Jamie has reached 40 in one piece, let life begin! I had a great time at my party and the band ‘No Closure’ were fantastic. I had some great prezzies including a sweatshirt and hoodie emblazoned with the name of …
Perry St Pond – Spring League – 19th April 2009
I was quite nervous for this one, me and Les were in the pairs final with Steve Bush and Butch Baker and I really wanted to do well. Both Butch and me had yet to draw corner pegs and we had a one in two chance today and it could decide who won the pairs. We all assembled for the draw and …
Perry St Pond – 10th April 2009
A rather grey, showery day greeted me as I loaded my car with kit ready for the annual Good Friday match at Perry St Pond. There were some faces I hadn’t seen for ages at the draw including Scott and Roger Russell and Alvin Jones, were we to be mugged again? It was time for the draw and once again my drawing …
Perry St Pond – Spring League – 5th April 2009
I woke up and once again it was bright and sunny although we’d had another frost in the night, would this affect the fishing? I got to the draw and sorted out some bait before buying yet more hooks off Chris Haines (that man could sell sand to the Arabs!). After two decent results in the first two matches I was keen …
