Acorn Fishery – Open – 8th November 2025
On Saturday it was back up to Acorn and I drew number 25, which is a decent silvers peg on the far side by the concrete bridge. Nick was virtually opposite on 31 while next door I had Shaun F …
Trinity Waters – Open – 5th May 2014
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 …
Perry St Pond – League 2 – 4th May 2014
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 …
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 …
Perry St Pond – League 1 – 20th April 2014
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 …
Perry St Pond – Good Friday Match – 18th April 2014
We always have a match at Perry St on Good Friday but it’s a match I never seem to do very well in. The league starts on Sunday so I was hoping I might get an idea of how I was going to approach the first match. Pellet and meat are allowed again this year and I was hoping pellet shallow would …

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 …
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 …
Summerhayes – Open – 26th March 2014
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 …
