Acorn Fishery – Open – 23rd May 2026
For the first match of the weekend it was up to Acorn for Foxy’s latest match and I drew 16 over on the far side, a decent area for silvers. I got the usual rigs out for top four, 10 …

For Ruthie’s Cup this year we were up to twenty anglers, so five per group to be split over four venues with each group visiting the different lakes once. The draw for who was in which group took place a …
It was back down to Todber on Saturday as I haven’t been for a few weeks, a fantastic breakfast as always in the Lakeside Kitchen set us up for the day and then it was time for the draw. I …
Day two of my birthday weekend and it was back to Summerhayes but on Longs this time and I was hoping for a belated present in the shape of a silvers bunghole. Draw time arrived and quite a few of …
I got to the pub for the draw early and there seems to be more and more cars outside every week! We were up to 15 anglers this week, which is great to see, Paul Homewood, Bob Hammond and the Langport invader, Baz Morgan, were joining us today. Rob had pegged Redbridge, Isle Brewers and Hambridge with five pegs on each stretch. …

After blanking in the first match, I needed a decent result today or my league was over before it started, I got to the pub for the draw and saw Rob had pegged Isle Brewers again but had also put a few pegs in at Hambridge, they were full of fish at the end of last season but I thought it might be …
After blanking last week I was hoping for better things today, I knew Rob was pegging Redbridge and Isle Brewers and from all accounts there were loads of small fish topping when they were down there yesterday sorting out pegs. I got to the pub for the draw and there was a decent turnout of twelve (well eleven actually because Heardy was going …

I was really looking forward to getting back on the river today, I got to the pub in good time and there was a decent turnout of eight anglers including some more news in the shape of Gordon Aplin and his son Karl. Gordon’s face looked familiar and he said he used to fish matches back in the era of Adrian Green, Barney …
I wasn’t actually sure I’d be able to go fishing today as my amazing, lovely Mum passed away on Friday morning after battling a brain tumour for the last five months. It’s been a horrendous time for my Dad and me watching her deteriorate and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone but at least she’s at peace now. I didn’t really want to spread …
We were back on Longs for this match and I fancied a draw on the far side, something like peg 2 again would do me but by the time I stuck my hand in the bucket there was only one ball left, a quick look revealed my home for the next six hours would be peg 29. I must admit I was a …
I always get quite excited when I’m contacted by a company and it’s usually to ask if I will review their latest products on the blog, to me it’s a huge privilege and an unexpected perk although I’m also not that naïve to not realise it’s a good way of getting very cheap advertising. So when the latest e-mail pinged into my inbox I was …
I was a bit late getting to the draw this morning and as I walked into the pub I was greeted with a huge cheer! There was another good turnout of twelve anglers today and over the course of the league we’ve had twenty different anglers fish, which is fantastic to see and just goes to show what a great little venue the pond …
