Acorn Fishery – Open – 14th February 2026
After drawing one of the best silvers pegs on the lake and making a right mess of it on Thursday, I was back for another go two days later! Things definitely didn’t get off to a great start when I pulled out peg 16 on the far side which hasn’t been very good at all recently. In fact, Gareth Boycott was next …
Acorn Fishery – Fish South Silvers Qualifier – 12th February 2026
On Thursday it was off to Acorn for my last Fish South silvers qualifier of this campaign, 24 anglers fishing today and in recent matches, the pegs to draw have been 1, 2 and 4 on the island. I went into the bucket with just a few balls left and couldn’t believe it when I pulled out 2! For company I had …
Acorn Fishery – Open – 17th January 2026
On Saturday it was up to Acorn for the first time this year, 28 anglers fishing today and I was disappointed to draw peg 12 as it’s a great carp swim. It’s also one of the widest at over 16 metres which wouldn’t be ideal as the ide tend to be across to the island and of course it was forecast to …
Acorn Fishery – Xmas Open – 20th December 2025
For Festive Fixture number four of five it was back to Acorn for their Xmas open and I was over the moon when I drew peg 31 which has been a really good area for silvers recently. Foxy was on 33 while to my right were Mark Roberts on 29, Bunghole Bob on 27 (which he didn’t fancy so the cameras stayed …
Acorn Fishery – Ace of Acorn Silvers Qualifier – 18th December 2025
I could get used to this fishing three times a week (and only working four days!) although as you may have noticed, it means there’s a bit of a satellite delay in the match reports coming out. After drawing a great peg last Thursday, I was hoping for another one but pulled out number 5 on the island, the best carp swim …
Acorn Fishery – Ace of Acorn Silvers Qualifier – 11th December 2025
Acorn on Thursday for another qualifier and I was well happy with peg 22 by the bridge on the far side, Mark B was next door on 21 and Jo was to my left on 24. The usual rigs for across, the deep water and short were assembled and the side tray contained plenty of maggots, disco pinkies and a little dark …
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 …
