Perry St Pond – League 5 – 18th June 2017
The high numbers at Perry St were my destination for round five and following another cracking breakfast at Millfield café we headed out the pond to do the draw. The first thing I saw when I got out of the car was Torquay’s geriatric answer to Adam Ant! I wouldn’t say Geoff was a grumpy old bugger but the back of his shirt …

Hi Darren, I realise you are a very busy man so thank you very much for agreeing to do an interview, As the UK General Manager for Garbolino can you tell us what constitutes a typical day, if there is such a thing? Most days are different but there are some things I must do every day wherever I am and whatever …
Summerhayes – Open – 11th June 2017
Before I get on to this weeks match, we had some awful news in the week when Dave Lawrence passed away after a short battle with that horrible disease cancer that affects so many of our lives. I fished with Dave for a long time, on the Isle, in the Drennan league and in more recent times we used to travel up …
Just Starting Out
I was recently contacted by a mate who I haven’t seen for a long time, we used to fish together a lot, firstly as juniors and then we started fishing the club matches with Ilminster AA but as so often happens, other things come along and he drifted away from it. He’s now got a family and his son wants to get into fishing so he …
Dillington Pond – Summer League 3 – 4th June 2017
This week I was at Dillington for one of Ilminster AA’s Summer league matches (I miss quite a few this year) and the pond has been fishing really well with Bill Hopping smashing the match record with over 58lb of bream and chub from peg 1 in the first match and John Dursley winning the second match with 25lb of bream and skimmers on the …

Summerhayes – Open – 28th May 2017
This weeks match was on Sellicks and I was really hoping I could get away from the low numbers and draw a peg near the top or on the far bank, on arrival it was nice to see Paul Homewood for the first time in ages and several of the Torquay contingent were also in attendance although, thankfully, the Tart wasn’t one …
Perry St Pond – League 4 – 21st May 2017
The Perry St low section was my destination for round four after another cracking breakfast at Millfield café and I was really disappointed to pull out peg 1, it’s a corner peg but hasn’t done much in the first three matches. Picky drew peg 10 and the Tart was on peg 3 which won last week so once again my pound coins …
Sodafloat Review
The Sodafloat was the brainchild of Paul Jessop following a frustrating match when the carp were out in the middle of the lake by a central rope, out of the range that Paul could accurately catapult his pellets and he caught very little. After a couple of sleepless nights and a week tinkering around in his garage, the Sodafloat was born! Basically …
Sadborow – League 3 – 14th May 2017
It was back to the Chard AC league at the weekend and I was really looking forward to fishing Sadborow pond for the first time since 2007! The club have done loads of work out there over the last few years and it’s been fishing really well with over 100lb needed to win the last three matches. After another excellent breakfast at …
