Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 25th April 2026
In a recent post I mentioned that I seem to be struggling to get my head round Sellicks which is mainly down to those pesky skimmers and my inability to catch enough of them to do any good! Would that …

River Isle – V.E.S. Precision League – 17th October 2010
I was a little late getting to the draw and was amazed when there were only six other anglers there! Quite a few people were unable to make this match (probably a good choice, but read on dear blog fan). There was some money carried over from last years league in the golden peg fund and there were to be two golden …

River Isle – Crown Winter League – 10th October 2010
I was really looking forward to getting back on the river and the weather was bright and sunny which isn’t ideal for fishing but the river looked in good nick. There was a decent turnout of 12 (including me), I just needed to draw peg 14 or 27 now! After a quick coffee it was time to draw and I managed to …

Goodiford Mill – 3rd October 2010
This will be a short one as I’m all blogged out, Martin and Malcolm have been asking us to go down to Goodiford for ages so with nothing else on we had a knock up. There were only six of us and we decided to pay the top two and do a blind drawn pairs after the match. The lake looked nice …
Gillhams Resort, Thailand – 22nd September to 30th September 2010
Scotty, Ashley and me headed off to Gillhams Resort in Krabi, Thailand for a nine day fishing holiday and it was brilliant. The fishing was excellent, food was top notch and we met some brilliant people. Stuart and Sean Gillham were the best hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Stuarts wife, Benz, was lovely as was my guide, Golock, the other …
Dillington Pond – Summer League – 19th September 2010
The last summer league match arrived and after missing two matches I wasn’t in contention of a league placing so just had to try and frame today. There were only eight of us fishing and I pulled out peg 14 but would rather have had 16 or 18. Heardy drew 18 and Steve Parker drew 16, Moses was on 21 again and …

Summerhayes – Open – 12th September 2010
Scotty text me on Saturday to say the match was on Sellicks and not on Longs so I wouldn’t be breaking my duck this weekend, still I quite enjoy Sellicks and have been doing ok of late. There were twelve of us fishing including Scott and Roger Russell, after a coffee and bacon sarnie it was time to draw. The golden ball …
Dillington Pond – Summer League – 5th September 2010
The penultimate round arrived and there were 11 of us fishing today, I pulled out peg 10, which has been a pretty consistent peg. Heardy was the next peg to my left and Richy was the next angler along on my right. Moses had a side bet with me and he’d drawn well, peg 21, on the far side. After getting my …
Two Day Charity Match on Chard Reservoir
Chard held the two day match on the resi on Sunday and Monday and this year over £200 was raised for cancer charity which is fantastic. Also fantastic was the fishing and on the Sunday Paul Blake demolished the match record with over 230lb of bream, an amazing weight. Paul had nearly 50lb on the second day to finish second over the …
Evesham 28th and 29th August 2010
Just got back from my annual pilgrimage to Evesham festival with Andy, there were lots of small fish being caught thanks to bloodworm and joker being allowed over the three days. The first day was won with over 22lb of bream and the top five all had double figures. Simon Willsmore ‘balling it in’ Milo Columbo …
Summerhayes – Evening Match – 26th August 2010
With the nights drawing in, this was to be the last evening fixture on Sellicks of the year and although the weather wasn’t great it was better than yesterday. There was a rather depleted turnout due to several anglers getting a soaking at Durleigh yesterday, the stay aways included Alvin, Scotty and Bruce Hunt. I drew peg 9 and Roger was on …
