On Saturday it was up to Acorn for Bev’s Memorial Match which was brilliantly supported with 37 anglers booked in. We got there nice and early and enjoyed some lovely bacon and sausage rolls before getting some bait and buying tickets for the raffle after the match. Draw time arrived and Des got someone to pull out a peg for him and …

With Foxy away for this one, the reins were handed to his glamourous assistants, Paul and Glenn, who did an admirable job in his absence. The draw was announced and I pulled out 19 on the far side, an area I seem to frequent a lot, it wouldn’t have been my first choice but still a decent peg for silvers. On the …

On Saturday it was up to Clevedon for Foxy’s open at Acorn with a great turnout of 25 fishing and after getting some bait, paying pools etc, it was soon time to pray to the God Of Good Swims (or GOGS for short!). Despite my prayers and even employing the ‘hanging back’ technique, neither worked as once again peg 38 avoided my …

Acorn on Saturday and as always I was hoping to get on the near bank, ideally peg 38 or 40 but alas, my angering of the ‘Draw Gods’ continues and fate handed me 15 on the far side. To be fair it’s not a bad area although when I drove round, the wind was straight in my chops which would make fishing …

Bank Holiday Monday was a short pole match at Acorn and I really enjoy this format, it’s something a little different and good fun. There was a great turnout of 31 anglers including Tony Rixon who I haven’t seen for ages. Foxy announced the draw and I pulled out 25 over by the concrete bridge, an area I seem to frequent a …

When the clocks go forward, Foxy changes the format of his matches slightly, the draw time is a bit later and he pays the top five (no sections) along with one in the silvers (and you can pick up in both). 27 anglers fishing today and as per usual when it was time to draw I was hoping to pull out 38 …

With some leave to use up, I had a week off work and booked into a couple of matches starting with a costcutter at Acorn, the weather was supposed to be nice but it was really windy and cold first thing! 23 anglers fishing today and when it was my turn to draw I pulled out 16 on the far side, an …

On Saturday it was Foxy’s latest match at Acorn with the usual full house of 28 anglers, draw time arrived and I was happy enough with peg 25 by the new-ish concrete bridge on the far side as its been producing some decent silvers weights. I set up a couple of Preston Innovations F1 Maggots to fish two lines at 11.5 metres …

With some leave to use up, I booked Tuesday off and headed up to Acorn for the costcutter along with Parker ‘The Pole’. 28 anglers fishing today which is a great turnout for a midweek match. Eddie announced the draw and I was hoping for a nice silvers peg, something like 38 or 40 would do nicely please! When I looked at …

It was another of Chris Fox’s opens on Saturday and I was really looking forward to as there’s been a stocking of decent ide since the last match I fished. Always well attended, there were 26 anglers fishing today and when Chris announced the draw, I delved in and when I looked I was on 33, not the best but certainly not …
