I haven’t been to Revels for a little while so with a week off work, I was looking forward to fishing the Tuesday open. After a great run of silvers results last year, my last few visits haven’t seen me …

Well, today didn’t get off to the best of starts! After a long day yesterday, I fell asleep in the chair and woke up at one ‘o’ clock in the morning (well actually 2:00 am after the clocks went forward), …
After a lovely day catching silvers last Saturday, I was hoping for more of the same today, of course as it was the weekend the forecast was for strong winds, fed up with it now! I was actually on time …
The second match of the weekend was on Longs at Summerhayes, we met at bowling club for breakfast first which was quite busy with lots of the Stoke lads off to Trinity for a pairs match. After we’d eaten we …
River Isle – the main species are chub, roach, dace, trout and minnows. This was really a non starter, as next weeks Dillington match was cancelled due to people going on holiday etc I had been badgering the organiser, Robin Cox, to hold a match somewhere. The turnout was never going to be huge with maybe half a dozen expected to show. …
Stathe Drain – The main species are roach, skimmers, hybrids, perch, bream and tench. I arrived at the Langport Arms for the fourth round of this five a side league. My team, Chard Remains, are currently lying in joint second place quite a way behind the leaders, Team Focus.Doing the team draw I once again managed not to get any end pegs …
Up well early and at the Langport Arms by 8 ‘o’ clock for the draw. As captain I have to draw for the team and once again I didn’t make a particularly good job of it with no end pegs and the weigh boards. My team , Chard Remains, drew team Focus in the knockout, they are a good team with the …
My next match is the third round of the Langport teams of five on the River Parrett on Sunday (30th). My team, Chard Remains, finished 7th (out of eight) on the first match and 3rd on the second match. I think overall we are languishing near the bottom, still it’s the first round of the knockout so maybe we can buck our …
Dillington Pond – The main species are roach, rudd, perch and chub. Other secies present are bream, tench, crucian carp and eels. Met at the Crown per usual, drew peg 2. When we got to the pond it was a lot lower than usual due to a farmer abstracting for his potatoes! As a consequence we were all sat in thick glutinous …
Everyone else seems to be doing so I thought I’d give it a go. My blog will just be short accounts of the fishing matches I enter and how I do in them. Hopefully as the blog progresses there will be some funny stories and tales of triumph and defeat and days that are just a complete disaster.My first entry will be …
