Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 7th September 2024

I’ve been really enjoying the silvers matches on Sellicks so was looking forward to Saturday and Nick was fishing this week as well. Only seven of us and it would be draw and choose, the golden ball was number 2 and when it was my turn to draw it was still in the bucket. Alas my arm is still malfunctioning and I

Summerhayes – Open – 26th August 2024

For my third match in as many days, it was back to Summerhayes on Monday for another open on Sellicks. A bakers dozen fishing today which is a nice number for the lake as it’s basically every other peg so we’d all have lots of room. Pete announced the draw and I was around halfway down the list, as per usual I

Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 24th August 2024

For the start of a busy Bank Holiday weekend I headed to Summerhayes for the silvers open on Sellicks although there were only six of us fishing so more of a knock up really. After a stop off at Greggs for breakfast, I arrived in good time and Pete said it would be draw and choose, I was last but one to

Summerhayes – Memorial Match – 3rd August 2024

Every year there’s a memorial match held at Summerhayes to remember some of the anglers we’ve sadly lost including Clive Cunningham, Charlie Barnes, Ray Wickham, John Proctor, Jeff Sparkes and Roger Russell who only passed away recently. It’s silvers only and always well attended and today there were 20 anglers on Sellicks including Zooner who presented me with a dinosaur baseball cap

Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 6th July 2024

I haven’t been to Summerhayes for a few weeks so phoned Pete to book in for the silvers match on Saturday which was on my favourite lake, Sellicks. After meeting Nick for a Greggs brekkie, we made the short trip to the venue. Only five of us fishing today so more of a knock up but at least we’d all have plenty

Summerhayes – Open – 2nd June 2024

Due to various leagues and club matches on Sundays, I haven’t been to Summerhayes for a while so was looking forward to this one although when I phoned Pete to book in, I was a bit disappointed when he said it was on Longs rather than Sellicks which is my favourite lake. Nick, Rob and me met for breakfast at the bowling

Note – I’m not sure what’s going on with Facebook but they removed my last post linking to the blog so if you commented and I didn’t get chance to reply, I apologise. I have queried it with FB but I’m not holding my breath it will be resolved anytime soon! Sunday we were at Summerhayes for a Stoke club match on

Summerhayes – Open – 7th April 2024

Before I get on to Sunday’s report, the previous evening it was Stoke AA’s presentation night at the working mens club. It was well attended and before the trophies were handed out, the clubs very own magician, Bob Pamplin, entertained us with a selection of tricks. After being suitably amazed and mystified, the second half of the double act and our host

Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 27th March 2024

When I phoned to book in for this one, Pete said there were only four other names on the list and I was in two minds whether to fish, especially as the weather was going to be rubbish again. Waking up and looking out the window at the wind and rain, I nearly got back into bed but decided to go as

Summerhayes – Open – 3rd March 2024

Only one match this weekend as Parker ‘The Pole’ and me headed to the Big One at Farnborough on Saturday. To be honest, the show has become very carp orientated but it’s still a good day out with the likes of Garbolino, Nu-Fish, Nytro and of course Guru well represented. The latter’s stand gets bigger and better every year and they had
