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 …

A double-header at Summerhayes this weekend kicking off with a silvers match on Sellicks. After meeting Nick and Parker ‘The Pole’ for breakfast, we arrived in plenty of time and it looked like the carp were spawning with loads of activity at the near end and I said I really didn’t fancy peg 2. Of course that meant when it was my …

On Sunday it was back at Summerhayes for a match on Sellicks which I haven’t fished for ages. There were 14 anglers booked in for this one which is a good number for the lake as we’d all have a bit of room. My favourite peg is number 16 and I came close when I pulled out 15 with the swims either …

On Sunday we headed to Summerhayes and I was hoping we’d be on Longs but when we arrived, the car park was rammed as there was a club match booked on there which meant we’d be on Sellicks. We’d had a few nights of frosts and with most pegs in, I had a feeling it might be a tough one today. Pete …

Not a great start to the day when I woke up at 6:50 and was supposed to be having breakfast at the bowling club at 7:00! In full headless chicken mode, I rushed to Ilminster, had my food and then headed back home to get all my kit before heading to Bridgwater. I did phone Pete to say if I wasn’t there …

The weekend arrived and so did more crazy weather, waking up Saturday morning I was greeted with a hard frost while the forecast for Sunday was heavy rain and temperatures ten degrees warmer. It’s no wonder the fish don’t know if they’re coming or going! We were on Sellicks which fished quite well in the last match although it was flat calm …

On Sunday we were headed back to Summerhayes and I must admit to still feeling really deflated after the previous day and I wasn’t up for this at all, especially as Sellicks hasn’t been fishing very well! There were 19 booked in for this one which wouldn’t do us any favours either. With Pete holding the bucket of dreams/doom, I was hoping …

On Saturday we headed to Summerhayes for a silvers match on Sellicks, it’s probably my favourite lake although the fishing has been rather tricky in recent weeks. Only eight of us fishing but it meant we’d have plenty of room. I really fancied peg 16 which was also the bonus ball but my drawing arm continues to misbehave although I pulled out …
