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 …
Sunday it was off to Summerhayes for a match on Sellicks and there was a great turnout of 20 anglers including Tom Thick, Hoffy (who I hadn’t seen for ages) and Andy Akehurst who was back again after winning the …
Just a quick ramble for you, firstly a huge thank you as the blog has now had over 155,000 hits, which is just staggering, the Facebook book and Twitter pages are coming along nicely as well, so thanks again and please keep spreading the word. I have a few bits and bobs of fishing tackle for sale, if you’re interested get in …
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 …
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 …
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 …
I haven’t fished a Wednesday match for a fair old while and as I had a few day’s leave to use up I booked in for this one. It was a lovely day too with the sun shining and hardly any wind for the first time in ages. On my arrival, I collected some keepnets before grabbing a coffee and then Pete …
When I spoke to Pete to put mine and Janders names down for this match, he said it would be on Longs today so after picking Janders up, I was a little disappointed on arriving to see all the cars parked by Sellicks! It was also really windy (just for a change!) and there were also some showers forecast – great! As …
Through this blog I occasionally get things sent to me to review and I really enjoy doing it as I love getting home to find unexpected parcels waiting for me! I try to write an honest review of any products that come my way or indeed, any gear that I actually buy! I was recently contacted by a lady from Canvas Design asking …
I was looking forward to fishing Longs this week as the silvers weights have been steadily improving with over 18lb needed to win it in the last match. Rob Cox also fancied giving it a go for the first time so I met him at the Little Chef in Ilminster and off we went. There was a good turnout with over twenty …
I haven’t ‘rambled’ for a while so I thought I’d just update you on a few things, the blog continues to go from strength to strength and I’m now approaching 143,000 hits which I just find incredible, so thank you so much to everyone that enjoys and reads this drivel. My Facebook page is steadily increasing too and I now have 641 …
Last night I went to Scotty’s 40th (I know, he’s had a hard life!) at the Square and Compass and it was a really good night with two good bands, lovely food and it was nice to catch up with Scott and Ash, Alex Murray, James Cooper, Martin Addicot and Bean Searle who I haven’t seen for years and the legend that …
