Acorn Fishery – Open – 14th February 2026
After drawing one of the best silvers pegs on the lake and making a right mess of it on Thursday, I was back for another go two days later! Things definitely didn’t get off to a great start when I …
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 …
Perry St Pond – Spring League 3 – 5th May 2013
The bad weather looks to be behind us and I was looking forward to the long weekend and fishing a couple of matches but on arriving out the pond, someone said we weren’t going to Chris’s on the Monday which I was really disappointed about. After paying for my pools and bait it was soon time for Les to draw for the …
FishingUk App Review
I’ve done a few reviews on my blog but I’m venturing into new territory with this one, my first review of a fishing app. I’m not a technophobe but I’ve never really played around with apps much on my phone with Facebook, Twitter, E-bay and BBC Sport about as adventurous as it got. Well with fishing apps becoming ever more popular I thought …
Summerhayes – Open – 28th April 2013
I was looking forward to getting back to Summerhayes today although both Sellicks and Lily lakes were in and I was hoping I didn’t draw Lily. I picked Janders up and on arriving the car park was rather full with a match on Longs as well. All the usual faces were there plus Somerset Angling’s Steve Kedge. With 21 anglers fishing today …
Ringers Pellet Pump Review
Now a pellet pump isn’t the most exciting thing to review but I have to admit I was quite looking forward to receiving one of the new Ringers Pellet Pumps. As soon as I saw Tackleuk had some in stock I put my order in and it arrived a couple of days later (top service as ever from Tackleuk). I’ve previously used pumps …
Perry St Pond – Spring League 2 – 21st April 2013
Spring looks finally to have arrived and the sun was shining as I loaded the car before making my way out the pond. I collected my bait from Les before he announced the draw for the start of the pairs knockout, I managed to get a bye so for me the knockout will start next match. He then opened an envelope for …
Perry St Pond – Spring League 1 – 14th April 2013
For this year’s league, Les had brought in a new payout system where the top four carp weights and the top four silvers weights are paid out each match and there would be two leagues, one for silvers and one for carp and these would be decided on weight. I had thought I would try and fish for silvers but after only catching one …
