Hebditch’s Pond – Charity Match – 12th May 2019
For part two of my double header I was fishing my first match with Stoke AA at Hebditch’s Pond, a venue I always enjoy fishing. It was for charity and the format was something a bit different in that we’d fish for four hours, have an hours break to weigh in and have something to eat before fishing another four hours (so …
Hebditch’s Pond – Charity Match – 30th September 2018
I always look forward to fishing Hebditch’s pond but because of the hot weather and low water levels we haven’t fished it since February when it was a bit of a struggle so hopefully we’d get a few more bites today. As always we would be donating a proportion of the entry fee to charity and this time the proceeds from the match and …
Hebditch’s Pond – Barney’s Pairs Open – 25th February 2018
Always one of my favourite matches of the year and an event myself and Justin have a pretty good record in, so when I text him to make sure he was fishing and he replied he couldn’t make it this year, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to find anyone to partner me! Scott Jackson had mentioned a while back he might …
Hebditch’s Pond – 28th December 2017
This time last year, I arranged a match out the pond which proved very popular with seventeen anglers fishing and I got asked by several people if I was doing the same this year but after lots of initial interest, there were only going to be a few of us so I was just going to fish Summerhayes on the Friday instead. To …
Hebditch’s Pond – Charity Match – 17th December 2017
I was talking to Harry recently and happened to mention it would be nice to fish the pond again and with a free date this Sunday and Harry actually having the day off, a match was arranged and as always we would all make a donation to a charity of his choosing. With only limited places available, these were offered to the …
Hebditch’s Pond – Charity Pairs Open – 9th July 2017
As we hadn’t fished Hebditch’s pond for a while, Hurf arranged a charity pairs open but with a twist, it would be totally blind meaning you wouldn’t even know which pond you were on until you’d drawn a peg and you wouldn’t know who your partner was until after the match! I must admit I’m not really a fan of this format …
Hebditch’s Pond – Barney’s Pairs Open – 26th February 2017
I always look forward to Barney’s Pairs Open and as per usual, it was well attended, with 18 anglers fishing this year. With Steve and Cindy back from an amazing trip to New Zealand, we met at the Oak for the draw and breakfast. Most of the usual crew were in attendance and it was also lovely to see Dean Morrison and Paul Adams …
Hebditch’s Pond – 30th October 2016
With no scheduled matches this week, Harry was keen to hold another charity match on the pond, it hadn’t been fished since August when the level was right down and the weights were a lot lower than normal so with the level back up, hopefully it would fish better today. For todays charity, Harry decided to donate the money to the fund to help rebuild …
Hebditch’s Pond – 7th August 2016
After the junior match the other week where the winning weight was over 100lb in three hours, everybody was well up for this one and all the talk was of 200lb weights and needing five keepnets. I wasn’t so sure and still thought 100lb would be a good weight in six hours as there were only five juniors fishing that day and we had …
Hebditch’s Pond – 7th May 2016
Harry once again very kindly let us fish the pond with everybody donating £5 to his charity of choice, The British Heart Foundation, a great cause. We all met at the Cartgate for a nice breakfast although I was a bit late and most people had already finished theirs – whoops, sorry Rob! It was great to see some new faces as …
