Summerhayes – Open – 22nd March 2026
After really struggling on Sellicks I was hoping for better things on Longs today, a good turnout with 19 fishing and when it was my turn to draw I pulled out 17 on the bottom bank. It’s one of the …
Summerhayes – Evening Match – 5th August 2010
With the Dillington evening league over I decided to fish a few of the Summerhayes evening matches so I can get my twice weekly angling fix! With the forecast being for a windy night, Scotty was in two minds whether to fish or not but when I arrived he was there! Of course I was pleased to see him but it also …
Clivey Fishery – 1st August 2010
With no club or league matches, Les arranged a match at Chris Haine’s pond at Clivey and I was hoping for a repeat performance of the win I had on my birthday (yeah right!). I had to pick Janders up and was most disappointed when I turned up and he didn’t have a new hat for me to photograph (c’mon John, buy …

Dillington Pond – Evening League – 28th July 2010
I turned up for the final fixture, knowing that realistically I couldn’t win the league but second and third places were up for grabs, I just needed to beat Martin and Alvin (which is a lot easier said than done!). There were only five of us fishing tonight so at least we should have plenty of room. I drew the disabled platform …

Dillington Pond – Summer League – 25th July 2010
I wasn’t hopeful of a result today as I just can’t get my head round Dillington and keep trying to sort out quality when I should just be getting my head down and catching whatever is in front me. At the draw there were 11 of us, including Richard White who hasn’t fished for ages. I drew peg 2 which is on …

Summerhayes – Evening Match – 22nd July 2010
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 …
Perry St Pond – Spring League 10 – 18th July 2010
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 …
Summer League Table
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.

Summerhayes – Evening Match – 15th July 2010
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, …

Dillington Pond – Evening League – 14th July 2010
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, …
Private Pond – Summer League – 11th July 2010
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 …
