FishBrain App Review
Everyone has a smart phone these days and apps are big business and with supposedly millions of anglers in the UK alone, more and more apps are being developed that are aimed at anglers. I first became aware of Fishbrain some time ago, it started life in Sweden and I seem to recall it being touted as the fastest growing fishing app (don’t quote me on …
River Isle – V.E.S. Precision League 3 – 9th November 2014
My day didn’t get off to the best of starts when I overslept and then had to rush around and only just got to the draw in time. The usual suspects were at the draw minus a poorly Stu Alford (get well soon mate) and Baz who was waiting for the golden peg fund to build up before he paid us another …
River Isle – V.E.S. Precision League 2 – 26th October 2014
After a disaster in the first match I needed a good result in this one or my league was over already. I got to the draw in good time (yes I remembered to put my clocks back!) and there was another decent turnout and Langport invader Baz Morgan had turned up to mug us all again. I reckon he must have got his …
Chard AC Junior Xmas Fayre – Perry St Pond – 18th October 2014
Chard AC juniors held their Xmas Fayre match at Perry St pond yesterday, conditions were good and the rain held off for the duration of the match and they all had plenty of bites. Chard always hold it early as sometimes in December it’s not much fun for the youngsters when it’s freezing cold! Zoe Hollister had the best weight on the …
River Isle – V.E.S. Precision League 1 – 12th October 2014
After no fishing for two weeks I was really looking forward to getting back on the river and I can’t believe how mild it is considering it’s October. I got to the Oak for the draw and there was a good turn out of eleven including Big Frank and Jake and it was really nice to see Steve Hurford there plus all the regulars. …
Rambling Update
With no fishing for a couple of weeks, I thought I’d just post a little rambling update, After a blistering first half of the year where I won loads of matches and caught new pb’s all over the place, things have slowed up somewhat (well they had to at some point I suppose!). Since my last ‘rambling’ post (which can be found …
Summerhayes – Open – 21st September 2014
After a long but very enjoyable day yesterday, I was off to Summerhayes with Janders today. I’ve only just finished the blog for the Dorset Stour and as I’ve got to be up early again tomorrow and it’s now 22;27, this will be a fairly short blog (thank God I hear you cry!). There was another good turnout today with 18 fishing …
Dorset Stour – 20th September 2014
My mate Steve Hurford offered to take me barbel fishing at Throop on the Dorset Stour as a thank you for giving his wife Sally all the info I could to help her arrange a surprise trip to Gillhams in Thailand for his 50th birthday earlier this year. Steve arranged all the day tickets etc and Scott Russell very kindly leant us a couple …
Dillington Pond – Summer League 10 – 14th September 2014
It was the last match of the Summer League today and another lovely day, I got to the Oak and it was nice to see Mike Board fishing today although we were down a few who had fished the last match. In the league Fieldy had the title sown up already although Rob and Bruce would fight it out today for second …
Summerhayes – Open – 7th September 2014
It was back to Summerhayes today and I’ve been struggling here a bit of late, when I phoned Pete to put my name down he said it would be on Sellicks and possibly Lily (oh no!) depending on numbers. On arriving there were quite a few cars there already and I knew there would be some pegs on my least favourite pond. …
