Summerhayes – Open – 1st January 2026
Summerhayes was the destination for my first match of 2026 and after a hard frost there was quite a bit of ice on Sellicks. With only eight of us fishing Pete said we could have a rover and choose where …
Perry St Pond – Spring League 8 – 23rd June 2013
With three matches left in this league I had pegs 11, 15 and 19 to go, 11 is a decent peg, 15 has been pretty poor and 19 has been dire to be honest. As we all gathered for the draw I felt really sorry for Bish who has an abscess and looks like he’s sucking the worlds biggest gobstopper! Les did the draw …

Perry St Pond – Spring League 7 – 16th June 2013
It was back to the Spring League this week and in a bid to try and stop my dry run, I decided I would fish for silvers as 6-7lb is normally enough to get in the money and that had to be achievable didn’t it? On arriving at the car park, the first person I saw getting ready to do battle was …

Summerhayes – Open – 9th June 2013
I was really looking forward to getting back to Summerhayes although with over 30 anglers booked in the match was to be split over Sellicks and my favourite pond, Lily. Tony Rixon had brought the Bristol bagging contingent down for a day out and there was a good chance we’d all get mugged again! You can check out Tony’s blog here Tony’s …
Perry St Pond – Spring League 6 – 2nd June 2013
It was back to the spring league this Sunday and as I was away for the last match and nobody could be found to fish for me, I’m slipping down the tables rapidly, it didn’t help that I had peg 1 last match, so that’s one of my corner pegs gone. Before I went on holiday I’d been on a bit of …
Gillhams Resort, Thailand – 14th to 27th May 2013
Scotty was itching to go back to the lovely Gillhams Resort in Thailand and I needed no persuasion for a return trip so this year we decided to go in May as we’d never been at this time of year and it was also the only time slot Scott could find in his busy match schedule. After a lot of travelling it’s …
Perry St Pond – Spring League 4 – 12th May 2013
Today’s blog will be on the short side as I’ve got to finish getting my stuff ready for my holiday to Thailand and the wonderful Gillhams Resort (the fact I didn’t do very well has nothing to do with it!). We all gathered to see what todays draw sequence would be and Dino reckons he can tell which pegs he won’t be on due to some …
TF Gear Hardcore Camo Waterproof Jacket Review
Well it seems to be a relative review fest at the moment, I’ve just received the TF Gear Camo Waterproof Jacket from site supporter Fishtec and first impressions are very, very good. Now I’m not a carp/speci hunter but I wanted a jacket that I could take with me to Gillhams Resort in Thailand as at this time of year there can be …

Great Days (and some that didn’t go quite to plan!)
I recently posted my ‘Top Ten Posts Of All Time’ which proved to be popular (and can be read on the link below) http://www.againstmenandfish.com/2013/04/its-funny-old-game-my-top-ten-posts.html/ and there were several ‘Great Days’ that didn’t quite make the top ten so I’ve listed them below (again in no particular order) 5 – The Lady Of The Stream In all my years of fishing I’d never caught …
