Todber Manor – Silvers Open – 8th March 2025

The forecast was warmer for the weekend and it made a nice change not having to de-ice the car in the morning. After arriving at Todber and filling our bellies in the Lakeside Kitchen it was time for the draw and although the fish have started to spread out a bit in recent matches, you still want to avoid the near end

Acorn Fishery – Costcutter – 4th March 2025

With some leave to use up, I booked Tuesday off and headed up to Acorn for the costcutter along with Parker ‘The Pole’. 28 anglers fishing today which is a great turnout for a midweek match. Eddie announced the draw and I was hoping for a nice silvers peg, something like 38 or 40 would do nicely please! When I looked at

Summerhayes – Open – 2nd March 2025

On Sunday we headed to Summerhayes and I was hoping we’d be on Longs but when we arrived, the car park was rammed as there was a club match booked on there which meant we’d be on Sellicks. We’d had a few nights of frosts and with most pegs in, I had a feeling it might be a tough one today. Pete

Todber Manor – Silvers Open – 1st March 2025

Back to Todber on Saturday with the ‘Ilminster Massive’ and there was a full house this week including the Somerset Spielberg, our very own YouTube sensation, Bunghole Bob! As most of us enjoyed breakfast in the Lakeside Kitchen, the mind games had already began as Bob was keen to have a nugget on it and wanted to pay me before the start

Revels Fishery – Open – 25th February 2025

I’ve been dying to get back down to Revels but with the bitterly cold weather recently, the silvers fishing has been really tricky with just 2oz winning last Tuesday! The temperature warmed up a bit during the week so I booked a day off work and began praying to the fishing gods for a nice silvers peg. I met Parker ‘The Pole’

Summerhayes – Open – 23rd February 2025

After the weather had been lovely the previous day, it was back to heavy rain and 50 mph winds for Sunday – great! Also probably due to the forecast, we had a slightly depleted turnout of 11 and Pete said it would be a rover using all the lakes. Adie was the first name on the list and got choice 10 which

Acorn Fishery – Open – 22nd February 2025

It was another of Chris Fox’s opens on Saturday and I was really looking forward to as there’s been a stocking of decent ide since the last match I fished. Always well attended, there were 26 anglers fishing today and when Chris announced the draw, I delved in and when I looked I was on 33, not the best but certainly not

Summerhayes – Open – 16th February 2025

Another Summerhayes Sunday and it was on Longs again, which is normally good for a decent days silvers fishing with plenty of bites. I met Nick and the Grand Wiz (who was fishing the Chard winter league) at the bowling club for breakfast and we were well looked after by Drew this week – cheers mate. Although still cold, it was dry

Todber Manor – Silvers Open – 15th February 2025

After a tough day last Saturday, I was back for another go and although I only had five roach for 8oz that match (mainly small fish!), with just 2lb 3oz winning, you’re only ever one bite away from winning. As quite a few of the fish were caught on the feeder, I made sure I had my 11ft Guru N-Gauge Feeder Rod

Summerhayes – Open – 9th February 2025

For the first time in an awfully long while, when the alarm went off Sunday morning, I seriously contemplated turning it off and going back to sleep! The last few weeks have been pretty grim with horrible weather, cold, wet, windy, floods, frozen lakes, you name it, we’ve had it. As a consequence the fishing for the most part has been tough
