River Parrett – Evening Cup – 21st June 2025
I absolutely love the Stoke matches on the Parrett and I was like a kid at Xmas when I woke up Saturday morning! As it was the Evening Cup, the draw wasn’t until 2:30pm but a few of us met …

For round two of Ruthie’s we were at Dillington and after finishing second in my section at Hebditch’s, nothing other than a win would do today as I’m sure you’ll need maximum points or there’s an outside chance three wins …
Todber on Saturday with a ‘Dirty Dozen’ booked on including none other than Guy ‘Venue Pro’ Manton, as we assembled and awaited the draw, Mr Dew and me took up our usual positions at the back of the queue. Rather …
As I hadn’t been to Revels for a while, I booked a Tuesday off work and met up with Parker ‘The Pole’ for a Greggs brekkie before heading over the border into Dorset. There’s nearly always a good number fishing …
I popped out the pond to see how the juniors were getting on today, it was a gorgeous sunny day and as I walked round the pond the surface was black with fish, roach, rudd and some bream could be seen swimming about. There were five youngsters fishing today and once again it was great to see so many adults giving up …
After a great days fishing in the first match I was hoping for more of the same today, on arriving at the Oak for the draw it was nice to see Bruce Hunt, Leighton Cox and Tony Newman were fishing today along with the regulars, Moses and Justin were missing today so we’re not far off a decent sized match. Rob had …
I missed two matches while I was away in Thailand and I believe Mike Thomas stood in for me while I was away so huge thanks for that Mike T! Before Les did the draw for this weeks peg sequence he announced Janders and Dino had won the pairs knockout last match, well done chaps! The envelope for today was opened and …
After another amazing trip to Gillhams last November, I booked up to go again in May and I was really looking forward to seeing everyone, especially Mr Mayo who is now working as a guide at the resort. Time seemed to stand still but eventually the days counted down and it was time to head to Heathrow to begin the long trip …
It was the first match of Ilminster’s Summer League today and I normally fish a few but miss several due to the dates clashing with the Perry St League. I really enjoy fishing the pond in the winter where you can fish light and catch some really nice nets of quality roach on the pole but as it warms up the whip …
I haven’t done a hit parade for a while and my first visit to Trinity Waters on Monday got me thinking about venues I’ve visited for the first time and done well. I still get a real buzz when I fish somewhere new and it’s the anticipation of that first bite, that first fish. Also being a match angler, it’s another challenge and …
Normally on a Bank Holiday I would be fishing a two dayer at Summerhayes but this year the Perry St league dates seem to clash which is a shame. I wanted to fish somewhere and after contacting Trinity Waters they said they had a match on Woodland lake today so I put my name down. I’ve been hearing lots of good things …
After my dismal performance in the first league match I was hoping for better things today, I was running a bit late and as I got out the pond Les had started the draw for the pairs knockout (this didn’t affect me as I got knocked out in the preliminary round!). After paying my pools and collecting some bait, Les opened the …
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 …
After a disappointing match on Friday and then Chelsea handing the league to Liverpool when they lost to Sunderland on Saturday, I desperately needed a good result today to stop the long weekend from becoming a total write off! The weather forecast wasn’t very good for today with heavy rain and wind predicted – great! As I arrived it was great to …
