River Parrett – Evening Cup – 21st June 2025
I absolutely love the Stoke matches on the Parrett and I was like a kid at Xmas when I woke up Saturday morning! As it was the Evening Cup, the draw wasn’t until 2:30pm but a few of us met …

For round two of Ruthie’s we were at Dillington and after finishing second in my section at Hebditch’s, nothing other than a win would do today as I’m sure you’ll need maximum points or there’s an outside chance three wins …
Todber on Saturday with a ‘Dirty Dozen’ booked on including none other than Guy ‘Venue Pro’ Manton, as we assembled and awaited the draw, Mr Dew and me took up our usual positions at the back of the queue. Rather …
As I hadn’t been to Revels for a while, I booked a Tuesday off work and met up with Parker ‘The Pole’ for a Greggs brekkie before heading over the border into Dorset. There’s nearly always a good number fishing …
After coming close last Thursday I was itching to get back for another go so booked in for this week’s evening match. There were 11 fishing this week including venue expert Alvin, Scott and Roger Russell, Martin Heard and Bruce Hunt. After a cup of coffee and paying my pools, it was time to draw. I fancied another go at 23 but …
The final match arrived and I was guaranteed a corner peg today, as was my nemesis Janders. He paid me the £5 side bet we had on the league as I was thirty points ahead of him – cheers John! He’d phoned me earlier in the week and we convinced each other we’d draw pegs 1 and 20 (crap) rather the fliers …
Leighton Cox wanted me to put the Summer League table on here, the only way I could do it was by scanning it in and uploading it as a picture. Hope this is ok, if you click on the picture you can see it better.
After two bad matches I thought I might as well make it three in a row and fish the Thursday evening match at Summerhayes. The weather was atrocious and with the match being on Sellicks where 14.5 metres minimum is a must on most pegs, it could be hard going. There were eight hardy anglers (or crazy fools) booked in including Scotty, …
With only two matches left in the league I was hoping to stop the slide that has seen me drop from first place in the last match. The weather was overcast and it looked like it might rain and there was also a blustery wind. There were seven of us fishing and the pegging was pretty spread out, I drew peg 12, …
For round five we were fishing a private pond and I couldn’t wait as there were supposed to be big roach, rudd, skimmers and tench and big weights were expected. The pond is primarily a carp venue and we decided to make it a silvers only match. There were thirteen of us at the draw and I pulled out peg 1 which …
First of all, sorry for the lateness of this weeks blog but I’ve just moved house and I never had any internet access and I’ve been climbing the walls! The penultimate round arrived and although I was out of the running in the league, I was still in line for a corner peg (as were 7 others). I stuck my hand in …
The level was right down on the pond again but there were plenty of fish showing and I was determined to do better than the last evening match. There were only six of us fishing and I drew out peg 14 with Martin Heard on 12, I could see a carp and some bream up in the water to my left so …
Oh God, isn’t it ever hot? Today was blisteringly hot and supposed to be the hottest day of the year. I was still in with a chance of a corner peg but alas today wasn’t the day and I pulled out peg 16, which hasn’t got a lot of form but at least I’d have the shade of the trees. I had …
With nothing local on, I put my name down for an open at Summerhayes near Bridgwater. An 11 ‘o’ clock draw was very civilised and I was one of the first there, Pete has a nice set up and after paying pools and having a free coffee, I had a bacon sarnie to set me up for the day. More anglers started …
