Acorn Fishery – Ace of Acorn Silvers Qualifier – 18th December 2025

I could get used to this fishing three times a week (and only working four days!) although as you may have noticed, it means there’s a bit of a satellite delay in the match reports coming out. After drawing a great peg last Thursday, I was hoping for another one but pulled out number 5 on the island, the best carp swim

Acorn Fishery – Ace of Acorn Silvers Qualifier – 11th December 2025

Acorn on Thursday for another qualifier and I was well happy with peg 22 by the bridge on the far side, Mark B was next door on 21 and Jo was to my left on 24. The usual rigs for across, the deep water and short were assembled and the side tray contained plenty of maggots, disco pinkies and a little dark

Acorn Fishery – Fishing Masters Silvers Qualifier – 3rd December 2025

On Wednesday it was back up the M5 to Acorn for my first attempt at another new silvers competition, the Fishing Masters. With a similar format to other big money silvers qualifiers, you basically have to win the match for a spot in the final which is no mean feat with loads of top anglers fishing. It was great to see Exeter

Acorn Fishery – Ace of Acorn Silvers Qualifier – 27th November 2025

Another Thursday and another silvers qualifier at Acorn, I drew 31 which has been a great area for the ide so hopefully I should get a few bites. For company I had Mark B to my left on 33, Paul Dicks was on 29 and with Tony Rixon on 27 there was a good chance of some abuse today! As per usual

Acorn Fishery – Fish South Silvers Qualifier – 13th November 2025

I’ve fished quite a few Fish South qualifiers at various venues and although I’ve not disgraced myself (even managing to frame a few times), you need to win the match to qualify which is a lot easier said then done with some of the best silvers anglers in the country fishing. I met Scotty for breakfast and it was nice to have

Acorn Fishery – Ace of Acorn Silvers Qualifier – 30th October 2025

I’d booked quite a few Thursdays off work to fish the various silvers qualifiers at Acorn so even though I managed to qualify for the Ace of Acorn at my first attempt, I was still going to fish the others as they’re decent size silvers matches. There was a great turnout of 26 anglers including the likes of Des, Tony Rixon, Dave

Acorn Fishery – Ace of Acorn Silvers Qualifier – 23rd October 2025

The last few years, there have been lots of great silvers competitions including the Angling Trust, Fish South and now, new for this year, the Fishing Masters. Even better, one of my favourite venues, Acorn, is holding several qualifiers and I managed to get some tickets. The good news didn’t end there either, Zoe said they would be running an Ace of

Ivy House – Fish South Silvers Qualifier – 1st February 2025

On Saturday Nick P, Norts and me headed to Ivy House for another Fish South Silvers Qualifier. There was the usual plethora of stars in the draw queue including Andy Power, Jon Arthur, Tommy Hiller, Mark Goddard, Dave Willmott, Gary Etheridge and Chris Telling to name a few! Not really knowing the venue, when I pulled out peg 1 on Old Match

Viaduct Fishery – Fish South Silvers Qualifier – 11th January 2025

On Saturday it was another Fish South Qualifier at the Viaduct and the weather had been brutal with plummeting temperatures and loads of matches being called off due to frozen lakes. On Friday it was confirmed the match would go ahead as Campbell was largely ice free with the exception of a couple of pegs at either end but people were advised

Viaduct Fishery – Fish South Silvers Qualifier – 30th November 2024

On Saturday it was off to the prolific Viaduct for a Fish South Silvers Qualifier although with the weather and temperatures all over the place, like everywhere at the moment, it’s been fishing trickier than normal. I was hoping for a nice peg on the near side but pulled out 130 on the opposite bank, the same swim I had last time
