Acorn Fishery – Open – 6th June 2026
Back up to Acorn for one of their opens and drew bridge peg 21 which is normally a good area. As per the norm it was windy which would make fishing long tricky so I set up rigs for 10 metres and top four. It was a slow start and took quite a while to get my first bite, I had a …
Acorn Fishery – Open – 23rd May 2026
For the first match of the weekend it was up to Acorn for Foxy’s latest match and I drew 16 over on the far side, a decent area for silvers. I got the usual rigs out for top four, 10 metres and across which was where I started, losing a foulhooked carp first chuck wasn’t ideal, the next fish was a carassio …
Acorn Fishery – Short Pole Match – 4th May 2026
For day three, it was back up to Acorn again, this time for a short pole match which are always popular and there were 31 fishing today. Before the draw I was chatting to Steve Whatley (441 Floats) who said he had a batch of his floats with him, I bought some in 0.1 and 0.2 grams which look ideal for some …
Acorn Fishery – Open – 2nd May 2026
As we head into May, another Bank Holiday weekend means lots of fishing with four matches lined up, starting with a trip up the M5 to the lovely Acorn Fishery. When the draw was announced I was near the back of the queue and pulled out 15 on the far side. It’s a great silvers peg but you’re up against it if …
Acorn Fishery – Open – 4th April 2026
Day two (of five) was back up the M5 to Acorn and if the weather forecast was to be believed we were in for yet another battering by the wind. Fully subscribed with 28 anglers booked in, Foxy announced the draw and as per usual he chose somebody to pull a peg for him and for once they got a very good …
Acorn Fishery – Ace of Acorn Silvers Final – 19th March 2026
There are loads of great silvers matches on the calendar now and a brand new competition for this year is the Ace of Acorn Silvers with qualifying fixtures starting last October. I managed to qualify on my first attempt and I’ve been looking forward to this one. Arriving nice and early, the car park was already filling up with an impressive array …
Acorn Fishery – Open – 14th March 2026
It was back up to Acorn on Saturday and I was fairly happy when I pulled out 31, a decent area for silvers so hopefully I should have a few bites. Although we’d had a frost it was turning into a gorgeous day and with some ide topping I was really looking forward to this. On the whistle I fed a top …
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 …
