Summerhayes – Clive and Ray’s Memorial Match – 5th August 2023

On Saturday it was Clive and Ray’s Memorial, a match I was very proud to win last year (you can read about that one here if you so wish!) and I would be trying my hardest to do it again. I’ve got used to the weather being awful every weekend but the forecast was nothing but downright despicable with 50mph winds and

Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 29th July 2023

I’ve been really enjoying these Saturday silvers matches although the turnouts have been fairly modest, averaging around 8-10 anglers. Pulling into the car park, there were a few more vehicles this week with 15 booked in to fish. Pete announced the draw and we were called up in the order that we’d booked in. The golden peg today was 13 and it

Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 1st July 2023

I was looking forward to getting back on Sellicks for the latest silvers open but had car troubles in the week, thankfully Nick came to the rescue and picked me up in the morning – cheers buddy. After a not so great breakfast at The Obridge (they’ve gone back to having a buffet rather than cooked to order) we headed to Bridgy.

Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 27th May 2023

The first of three matches over the Bank Holiday was another silvers open at Summerhayes. The weather was glorious with 14 fishing today. Pete announced the draw, starting with the golden peg which was number 2 and when I got called up, I only pulled out the bonus ball again! It can be a great peg for silvers (and carp), normally when

Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 20th May 2023

Loads more reports on the way with a double header this weekend, a midweek match coming up and then yet another Bank Holiday with three more matches! First up, a silvers only match on Sellicks at Summerhayes. Only eight of us again today so loads of room, as Pete and Sally were away, Adie was in charge and spread us out with

Summerhayes – Open – 8th May 2023

Match day three saw me and Nick back at Summerhayes, we went to the Obridge in Taunton for breakfast and it was really good. The match was scheduled to be on Longs again today but Zooner had phoned me yesterday to say it had fished really hard and Pete had moved it to Sellicks which was good news. Another great turnout of

Summerhayes – Open – 1st May 2023

To finish off the long weekend we were back at Summerhayes and back on Sellicks which is my favourite lake. Nick very kindly provided the bacon sarnies in the morning and wouldn’t accept any payment so we bunged a few more quid in the charity pot. Eighteen fishing today, the golden peg was number 12 and when my name was called out,

Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 29th April 2023

A triple header for the long weekend with all three matches at Summerhayes, starting with a silvers only open on Sellicks. After meeting Nick (who was going to Avalon today) and Zooner for breakfast, we drove the short distance to the fishery. Originally there were ten booked in but a couple dropped out, meaning the remaining eight would all have loads of

Summerhayes – Open – 10th April 2023

Bank Holiday Monday and match number four as my fishing (and blogging) marathon approaches it’s climax. We were on Sellicks today which I was really looking forward to as it’s been fishing well, in the silvers only match on Saturday, Zooner had the top weight with a brilliant 22lb and there were back up weights of 20lb and 18lb. The forecast was

Summerhayes – Open – 12th February 2023

After a serious case of deja vu at Revels yesterday when I drew peg 46 for the second time and had virtually the same number of fish for exactly the same weight as last time, I was hoping for a similar experience on Sellicks today where hopefully I’d draw peg 20 again!
