For the next silvers match on Sellicks there was a decent turnout of ten, draw time arrived and I was fourth on the list and pulled out 24 which wouldn’t have been my first choice but at least I’d managed to avoid 12 where I’d struggled on my last two visits. I had Roy next door on 22 while Alex had drawn …

The final outing of the month was a Saturday silvers match on Sellicks, eight of us fishing today and the only peg I really didn’t want was 12 at the top end and I may have mentioned it once or twice! I was third on the list behind Rog who pulled out number 24 and Nick who was happy with 6, I …

Sellicks on Sunday and I was hoping for one of the pegs down the arms of the lake, preferably on the near side (2-8) although I’d happily take the opposite bank (16-22), I just really didn’t want to draw the top end and of course pulled out number 12! We were also in for a very wet day (just for a change!) …

Although we had a frosty start yesterday it actually turned out to be rather nice, the forecast for Sunday was a much more miserable prospect with strong winds and rain predicted all day! A dozen hardy anglers in attendance and Pete said we could have another rover so people could try and pick swims to afford some respite from the elements. For …

With sub zero temperatures and frozen lakes again it was no surprise there was a depleted turnout of only eight fishing today including Summerhayes very own version of Daniel Craig who apparently likes his coffee ‘shaken not stirred!’. We were on Sellicks today and with the far side iced over, Captain Pugwash (aka Adie), took to the boat to break it up. …

Summerhayes was the destination for my first match of 2026 and after a hard frost there was quite a bit of ice on Sellicks. With only eight of us fishing Pete said we could have a rover and choose where we wanted to go, when it was time to draw, I got choice six which was also the golden ball (although there …

The following day we headed to Summerhayes for a match on Sellicks and when the draw was announced I was hoping for a peg on the far side and got my wish when I pulled out number 22. For company I had Glynn on 24 with Alex to my right and Nick had drawn peg 8 on the opposite side. In recent …

On Sunday it was back to Summerhayes for an open on Sellicks and I was hoping to draw on the far side (somewhere around 19-20 would do very nicely please!). We tried the Beefeater in Taunton for breakfast and it was very nice so will definitely be going back there again. When we got to the venue there were 16 of us …

Saturday it was a silvers match on Sellicks which had just received an injection of quality roach and skimmers from Big 8. I was really looking forward to it even though a few had fished it mid-week with just one roach being caught! Only nine of us fishing today and I was hoping to draw on the far side, failing that I’d …

Sunday it was off to Summerhayes for a match on Sellicks and there was a great turnout of 20 anglers including Tom Thick, Hoffy (who I hadn’t seen for ages) and Andy Akehurst who was back again after winning the silvers on his first visit the previous week. With Pete and Sally away, Adie was in charge of proceedings today and got …
