Summerhayes – Open – 16th July 2023
Sunday we were back at Summerhayes with the weather due to be pants again and I hoped a nice brekkie at the bowling club wasn’t going to be the highlight of the day! There was a decent turnout of 17 brave souls prepared to face the weather and we were on Longs which has been a bit hit and miss for silvers …
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 – Open – 18th June 2023
On Sunday we were back at Summerhayes and it was a busy one with a club match on Sellicks, another on half of Longs and us on the other side (pegs 2-21). Todays golden ball was number 21 and Bill ‘The Paste’ pulled that one out, I was well happy with peg 20 again where I’d won the last match I’d fished …
Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 3rd June 2023
For the latest silvers open at Summerhayes, it was back on Longs with nine of us booked in. Today’s golden peg was number 4 on ‘Cyanide Straight’ which wouldn’t have been first choice for most but with loads of room it can be good. When it was my turn to draw, I pulled out peg 20 on the bottom bank which is …
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 – 14th May 2023
For my seventh match in nine days, it was back to Summerhayes which was pretty busy with a match on both lakes. We were on Longs with a good turnout of 22 anglers fishing and it was nice to see Paul Homewood and Steve Kedge for the first time in ages. When I got called up to draw, I pulled out number …
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 – Silvers Open – 6th May 2023
After fishing four matches in as many days a couple of weeks back, for my latest fishy extravaganza I’m taking it a step further and doing five, wish me luck! As I write this I just got home from match day three and if I’m honest, I’m struggling a bit to keep up with the reports, so they might be a little …
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, …
