Acorn Fishery – Open – 14th March 2026
It was back up to Acorn on Saturday and I was fairly happy when I pulled out 31, a decent area for silvers so hopefully I should have a few bites. Although we’d had a frost it was turning into a gorgeous day and with some ide topping I was really looking forward to this. On the whistle I fed a top …
Summerhayes – Open – 8th March 2026
The following day at Summerhayes we were on Sellicks but with 23 anglers fishing and nearly every peg in, I thought it might be a difficult day for most. It was great to catch up with Steve Raybould who I used to fish with back in the Sharp Match Group days and has just got back into it. I was around midway …
Stoke AA Presentation Evening – 11th April 2026
On Saturday it was Stoke AA’s presentation evening at the working men’s club and I always think it’s nice to get together and celebrate the years achievements and trophy winners.

Todber Manor – Silvers Open – 7th March 2026

With three tickets remaining we made our move and looking at the sheet, rather worryingly the only spaces left were at the near end. Ade opened his ticket …
Summerhayes – Open – 1st March 2026
Back to Summerhayes the following day for the match on Longs and I was hoping for a peg along the track and got my wish when I pulled out 30 which is right where you need to be for silvers at the moment. I had Nick P on my left and then the next peg to my right was Dan T all …
Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 28th February 2026
A double header at Summerhayes this weekend kicking off with Saturday on Sellicks, I was near the top of the list and drew peg 2 at the near end. It wouldn’t have been my first choice as it’s a narrow swim but hopefully I should still get a few bites. It was the usual sort of approach feeding three lines at 10 …
