Dillington Pond – Evening League 8 – 3rd August 2011
It had been a beautiful day and looked like being a nice evening too, there were five of us tonight although Justin wouldn’t be joining us (late) this week. I drew peg 17 and was well pleased as I’ve always done well off it. For some reason I was struggling to get ready in time so quickly mixed up some Sensas Lake …
Dillington Pond – Evening League 7 – 20th July 2011
I picked Alvin up and we set off for round seven of the evening league, the sky was quite black and it looked like we might be in for another wet one. On arriving at the pond we were greeted with just Moses there waiting, he said Justin would be here later so it looked like it was just the four of …
Dillington Pond – Evening League 6 – 6th July 2011
First up I’ll apologise for the lateness of this blog but my poxy pc died but I’m back up and running again now. I was quite excited about this evenings match as Alvin said we’d go down the canal for a change but Moses phoned me earlier in the week to say the canal was very weedy so it was back out …
Dillington Pond – Royal Oak Summer League 4 – 26th June 2011
After weeks of pretty crap weather we were due a scorcher today. There were nine of us today as Robin had some work to do and Leighton was suffering a hangover (perhaps they knew something I didn’t!). Pegs 1 and 16 were in today for the first time in ages and everyone fancied a chance of some chub. Of course I managed …
Dillington Pond – Evening League 5 – 22nd June 2011
After a couple of poor matches I was keen to get back to winning ways tonight, there were the usual six of us and I pulled peg 4 out of the bag, which I was happy with. I set up a 4 metre whip rig and also a light Drennan Squatt float for fishing the hemp on the pole, if I started …
Dillington Pond – Evening League 4 – 8th June 2011
It was pretty windy for round four and when we got to the pond the level was well down. There were only five of us fishing tonight because Robin was in Nottingham (maybe his second name is Hood and not Cox!). We put all five pegs on the field side as with the level down, where we would be sat wasn’t so …
Dillington Pond – Evening League 3 – 25th May 2011
I picked Alvin up and got to the pond expecting it to be blowing hard but it wasn’t too bad. There were the usual six of us and I pulled peg 17 out of the draw bag which I was chuffed with as it’s a peg that’s been kind to me in the past. I mixed up a little groundbait (Sensas Roach) …
Dillington Pond – Royal Oak Summer League 1 – 15th May 2011
I got to the pub for the draw and there was a decent turnout of ten for the first Summer League match, which was good to see. Along with the usual Wednesday night crowd there was also Rich White, Heardy, Leighton and Steve Parker. I drew peg 2 which is on a point and quite a deep peg and I had Leighton …
Dillington Pond – Evening League 2 – 11th May 2011
After a poor first match in this series I was hoping to turn things round tonight. There were six of us this evening as Graham Field had joined us and we put three pegs in on each side of the pond. I drew peg 10 and was quite pleased with that as there were loads of fish topping. I quickly mixed up …
Dillington Pond – Evening League 1 – 27th April 2011
With the evening league starting a lot earlier this year, I wasn’t sure how it would fish but with the warm weather we’ve been having I had high hopes. I had to pick Alvin up and when we got to the pond, we both thought you would need close to double figures to win it. There were only five of us fishing …
