River Isle – V.E.S. Precision League – 28th November 2010
With loads of snow in the week and freezing conditions forecast, I wasn’t looking forward to this one. At the pub there were only six brave souls (idiots) and when the draw was announced I hung back and when there were only two balls left and 14 was one of them I was about to draw when Justin turned up! Rob had …
River Isle – Crown Winter League – 21st November 2010
More rain and the river was in perfect nick yet again, my day didn’t get off to the best of starts when I overslept and had to rush over to Ilminster as I had all the stuff for the draw in the back of my car! I got to the pub (minus all my kit, which I’d have to go back for) …
River Isle – V.E.S. Precision League – 14th November 2010
After weeks of the river being low and clear we had loads of rain and I was worried at one point that it might be unfishable. On the morning the river looked perfect with some extra pace and a tinge of colour. Neil and Rob were off playing darts (drinking) in Torquay so it was left to the rest of us to …
River Isle – 7th November 2010
With no league match scheduled we decided to have a knock up and perhaps try some new swims. There were only seven of us again and Rob had put some swims in at Isle Brewers and I really fancied a crack at 125 but Heardy drew that, does he ever draw a bad peg! I paid him the pound from last week …
River Isle – V.E.S. Precision League – 31st October 2010
After quite a bit of rain on the Saturday I was once again surprised to see the river low and clear but at least this week we didn’t have bright sunshine to contend with. There were only eight of us fishing and this week Rob had put two pegs in at North Bradon, 92 and 96 and I didn’t really fancy either …
River Isle – Crown Winter League – 24th October 2010
After quite a bit of rain on the Saturday I was hoping the river would be carrying a bit of extra pace and some colour but as I went over the river at Hort Bridge was surprised to see it still low and clear! There were 11 of us at the draw and Robin had put some interesting pegs in, including much …
River Isle – V.E.S. Precision League – 17th October 2010
I was a little late getting to the draw and was amazed when there were only six other anglers there! Quite a few people were unable to make this match (probably a good choice, but read on dear blog fan). There was some money carried over from last years league in the golden peg fund and there were to be two golden …
River Isle – Crown Winter League – 10th October 2010
I was really looking forward to getting back on the river and the weather was bright and sunny which isn’t ideal for fishing but the river looked in good nick. There was a decent turnout of 12 (including me), I just needed to draw peg 14 or 27 now! After a quick coffee it was time to draw and I managed to …
Goodiford Mill – 3rd October 2010
This will be a short one as I’m all blogged out, Martin and Malcolm have been asking us to go down to Goodiford for ages so with nothing else on we had a knock up. There were only six of us and we decided to pay the top two and do a blind drawn pairs after the match. The lake looked nice …
Gillhams Resort, Thailand – 22nd September to 30th September 2010
Scotty, Ashley and me headed off to Gillhams Resort in Krabi, Thailand for a nine day fishing holiday and it was brilliant. The fishing was excellent, food was top notch and we met some brilliant people. Stuart and Sean Gillham were the best hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Stuarts wife, Benz, was lovely as was my guide, Golock, the other …
