Summerhayes – Open – 30th November 2025
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 …
Summerhayes – Open – 23rd November 2025
It was back to Summerhayes the following day but on Longs this time and after my drawing arm had misbehaved yesterday, I was hoping it would buck its ideas up for this one. My name was near the top of the list and when I got called up, I was well happy with peg 31, a brilliant area for silvers. I set …
Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 22nd November 2025
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 …
Summerhayes – Open – 16th November 2025
Talking to Russ after yesterdays match he said I’d probably draw 39 today (as it seems to be a recurring theme that I end up on pegs soon after he’s fished them) and I was hoping that wouldn’t be the case as it’s not my favourite swim for silvers. I stopped off at McDonalds in Ilminster for a breakfast wrap and bumped …
Summerhayes – Champion of Champions Silvers Final – 15th November 2025
I say it every year but this is one of my favourite matches that I’d love to win although my record in it is quite frankly, pants! 19 anglers fishing today and when Pete announced the draw, he called up people in the order they’d qualified, I was only fourth on the list but when it was my turn, two of the …
Summerhayes – Open – 26th October 2025
I haven’t been to Summerhayes for a few weeks and with the level still way down and it being quite chilly, much like the last match I thought 5-6lb would be a good silvers weight. Pete announced the draw and I was hoping for a nice peg like 13 or 15 which both did well last time. I actually came close when …
Summerhayes – Open – 12th October 2025
After a pretty disastrous start to the weekend yesterday, I was hoping for better things at Summerhayes on Sunday. A lovely breakfast at the bowling club set us up for the day (thanks Charlotte) before we headed to Bridgwater. We were on Longs and the level was the lowest I’ve ever seen and we need rain desperately. Pete announced the draw and …
Summerhayes – Open – 25th August 2025
Bank Holiday Monday saw me headed to Summerhayes for the match on Longs which has been fishing really well for silvers. Only ten of us today and I drew peg 30 which was right where I wanted to be although I had Spud and Adie either side of me and they would both be fishing for silvers as well. As per usual …
Summerhayes – Open – 17th August 2025
On Sunday and it was back to Summerhayes for the open on Longs and after drawing 30 in the Stoke match and having a lovely day, I was hoping to be in the same area today. For once my misfiring drawing arm behaved itself when I pulled out number 32, right in the silvers epicentre. I got off to a great start …
Summerhayes – 3rd August 2025
I was hoping for a change of peg scenery as we headed back to Summerhayes the following day for a Stoke club match. It was well attended with the 20 anglers split into two sections and the payout for the top two and best silvers in each with an optional super pool for overall and silvers. For once my drawing arm behaved …
