Summerhayes – Open – 14th May 2023

For my seventh match in nine days, it was back to Summerhayes which was pretty busy with a match on both lakes. We were on Longs with a good turnout of 22 anglers fishing and it was nice to see Paul Homewood and Steve Kedge for the first time in ages. When I got called up to draw, I pulled out number

Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 6th May 2023

After fishing four matches in as many days a couple of weeks back, for my latest fishy extravaganza I’m taking it a step further and doing five, wish me luck! As I write this I just got home from match day three and if I’m honest, I’m struggling a bit to keep up with the reports, so they might be a little

Summerhayes – Open – 30th April 2023

It was back to Summerhayes on Sunday but Longs this time, breakfast was at the bowling club and always starts the day off right. At the fishery, parking was at a premium with matches on both lakes. I drew peg 27 on the track side, a great area for silvers, Nick got the golden peg which was 18 on the bottom bank

Summerhayes – Open – 16th April 2023

A really long day yesterday, up at 5:45am to fish at Acorn, got home at 6:30pm, packed kit away, straight in the shower then to Stoke Sub Hamdon for the angling clubs presentation night at 7:30pm. It was a brilliant night with lots of laughs and a fantastic buffet was laid on, I actually went back up and filled my plate several

Summerhayes – Open – 9th April 2023

Up early again, I was feeling surprisingly fresh for my third match in as many days and met the others for one of Charlotte’s lovely breakfasts at the bowling club. As we pulled into the fishery car park, it was rammed! There were 31 booked in for our match, plus a club fixture on Sellicks. Along with all the usual suspects, there

Summerhayes – Open – 7th April 2023

I always try and fish a few matches over Easter but this year I’m attempting something I’m not sure I’ve ever done before and booked in for a match on all four days. Now knowing how knackered I am when I do two in a weekend, would this be a match (or two) too far! My fishing quadrilogy kicked off at Summerhayes

Summerhayes – Open – 26th March 2023

Well, today didn’t get off to the best of starts! After a long day yesterday, I fell asleep in the chair and woke up at one ‘o’ clock in the morning (well actually 2:00 am after the clocks went forward), by the time I actually got to bed and went to sleep, it was gone 3:00 and my alarm was set for

Summerhayes – Open – 8th January 2023

The forecast was pretty grim again for the weekend and I think everybody is fed up with it now, we met at the bowling club for breakfast where Drew looked after us and the food and banter was top notch. Then we headed to the fishery and there was a decent turnout of 17 considering the weather and the fact there were
