Summerhayes – Open – 21st September 2014
After a long but very enjoyable day yesterday, I was off to Summerhayes with Janders today. I’ve only just finished the blog for the Dorset Stour and as I’ve got to be up early again tomorrow and it’s now 22;27, this will be a fairly short blog (thank God I hear you cry!). There was another good turnout today with 18 fishing …
Summerhayes – Open – 7th September 2014
It was back to Summerhayes today and I’ve been struggling here a bit of late, when I phoned Pete to put my name down he said it would be on Sellicks and possibly Lily (oh no!) depending on numbers. On arriving there were quite a few cars there already and I knew there would be some pegs on my least favourite pond. …
Summerhayes – Pairs Festival Day Two – 25th August 2014
On waking up, the forecasters had got it right for once as it was raining, I got to the draw and although it was wet, it wasn’t too windy for a change. I said hello to everyone and had a coffee, Rob Kingston paid me his pound from yesterday but Reece wanted double or quits which I agreed to as you’re more likely to …
Summerhayes – Pairs Festival Day One – 24th August 2014
I normally fish a few of Pete’s two day events but this year I’ve had fixture clashes on most of the Bank Holidays and I wasn’t sure I’d be able to fish this one unless I could find a partner. Glynn Wickham said his dad, Ray, was looking for someone and as he likes to fish for silvers as well, we paired …
Summerhayes – Open – 10th August 2014
While I was looking forward to the match on Longs, I wasn’t looking forward to being on the tail-end of hurricane Bertha! I got to the draw fairly early and it wasn’t that windy at all!, perhaps they’d got it wrong or it had missed us! I picked up some keepnets before paying my pools and having a cup of coffee. Pete …
Summerhayes – Open – 13th July 2014
Before I get onto this weeks blog I must just mention that I picked up my new seatbox yesterday, yes you heard correctly, the Tardis has finally been retired! After talking to several people and looking at what’s available I decided on the Martix Superbox as it’s had great reviews and it doesn’t cost the Earth. It’s a nice looking box but …
Summerhayes – Open – 27th April 2014
After a really good start to the year I was expecting to hit a blip at some point and April has been poor so far with just one pick up and I was hoping I could finish the month on a high. The weather wasn’t too bad although rain showers were forecast for today, I just hoped the wind wouldn’t be too …
Summerhayes – Open – 13th April 2014
I hadn’t heard from the Torquay Tart for a while but with the weather now starting to warm up, the texting started about how he was going to own me and I needed to buy some Savlon cream for my arse which was going to get whipped yet again. I did reply saying I still had a tube of cream unopened from …
Summerhayes – Open – 6th April 2014
The weather was back to being wet and windy for this one, I picked Janders up and met Rob before heading to Bridgy. There was a good turnout of twenty anglers including Scotty who was just back from two weeks at Whiteacres. After collecting nets, paying pools, drinking coffee and saying hello to everyone it was time to draw. When Pete announced …
Summerhayes – Open – 30th March 2014
The weather was gorgeous again and it was starting to look like Spring had actually sprung! I met Rob at the Little Thief and we headed to Bridgwater, on arriving the car park was rammed as there was a match on Longs as well today. With a good turnout of sixteen for our match, the net bins were almost empty, the other …
