Acorn Fishery – Open – 6th December 2025
Saturday arrived and it was back to Acorn for another one of Foxy’s matches and after struggling on Thursday I was gutted when I pulled out peg 36 where I didn’t weigh in on a recent silvers qualifier. Starting across to the island, an ide after a few minutes proved to be a false dawn and with an hour gone I only …
Acorn Fishery – Fishing Masters Silvers Qualifier – 3rd December 2025
On Wednesday it was back up the M5 to Acorn for my first attempt at another new silvers competition, the Fishing Masters. With a similar format to other big money silvers qualifiers, you basically have to win the match for a spot in the final which is no mean feat with loads of top anglers fishing. It was great to see Exeter …
Acorn Fishery – Ace of Acorn Silvers Qualifier – 27th November 2025
Another Thursday and another silvers qualifier at Acorn, I drew 31 which has been a great area for the ide so hopefully I should get a few bites. For company I had Mark B to my left on 33, Paul Dicks was on 29 and with Tony Rixon on 27 there was a good chance of some abuse today! As per usual …
Acorn Fishery – Fish South Silvers Qualifier – 13th November 2025
I’ve fished quite a few Fish South qualifiers at various venues and although I’ve not disgraced myself (even managing to frame a few times), you need to win the match to qualify which is a lot easier said then done with some of the best silvers anglers in the country fishing. I met Scotty for breakfast and it was nice to have …
Acorn Fishery – Open – 8th November 2025
On Saturday it was back up to Acorn and I drew number 25, which is a decent silvers peg on the far side by the concrete bridge. Nick was virtually opposite on 31 while next door I had Shaun F to my right and Dan D was on 27. I set up rigs to fish across, a couple of lines at 11.5 …
Acorn Fishery – Ace of Acorn Silvers Qualifier – 30th October 2025
I’d booked quite a few Thursdays off work to fish the various silvers qualifiers at Acorn so even though I managed to qualify for the Ace of Acorn at my first attempt, I was still going to fish the others as they’re decent size silvers matches. There was a great turnout of 26 anglers including the likes of Des, Tony Rixon, Dave …
Acorn Fishery – Charlie Barnes Memorial Match – 25th October 2025
After a really nice match on Thursday I was back at Acorn two days later for the Charlie Barnes memorial which I always look forward to as it’s silvers only. When it was time to draw, I pulled out peg 7 which wouldn’t have been my first choice, Paul ‘Castaway’ Faiers was on the island again, peg 2 this time which has …
Acorn Fishery – Ace of Acorn Silvers Qualifier – 23rd October 2025
The last few years, there have been lots of great silvers competitions including the Angling Trust, Fish South and now, new for this year, the Fishing Masters. Even better, one of my favourite venues, Acorn, is holding several qualifiers and I managed to get some tickets. The good news didn’t end there either, Zoe said they would be running an Ace of …
Acorn Fishery – Open – 18th October 2025
I’ve been dreaming about drawing peg 40 at Acorn for years and on Saturday for Foxy’s latest match, I finally managed to pull it out the bag but would it live up to my expectations? I set up a rigs for across to the island at 13 metres, two lines at 10 metres plus a top four swim which was the deepest …
Acorn Fishery – Open – 13th September 2025
On Saturday it was another of Foxy’s opens at Acorn and I drew peg 13 on the far side, an area I seem to visit a lot while Nick was on my dream peg, number 40. I set up rigs to fish two lines at 10 metres and another for the top kit plus one. Kicking off on the longer lines, it …
