River Isle – V.E.S. Precision League – 7th March 2010
I was really looking forward to the last V.E.S. match and even though we’d had two wicked frosts the two previous nights, I thought it would be a good match. How wrong could I be? read on to find out! Once again there were only nine of us fishing and there were some good pegs in. Rob had put 25 in and …
Dillington Pond – V.E.S. Precision League – 28th February 2010
The day of the penultimate V.E.S. Precision Winter League arrived and as soon as I drove over the river at Donyatt I knew we’d be on the pond. Still at least I should be able to catch to secure decent points for the league. On arrival at the Crown, I paid my pools to Pete who confirmed it was on the pond, …

River Isle – Crown Winter League – 21st February 2010
This will be a very short blog because there isn’t much to tell! Robin had put in some pretty good pegs with only eight of us fishing and of course everybody wanted to draw 125 but it goes without saying that Martin Heard drew it! I stuck my hand in the bucket and pulled out 72 (hellhole) which I wasn’t overly impressed …
River Isle – Open – 14th February 2010
I woke up to find we hadn’t had a frost and the temperature wasn’t too bad so hopefully we’d be in for a good day for once! At the draw there was a really poor turnout of only 12 anglers which I suppose reflects how poor the fishing has been. I was surprised that Rob hadn’t pegged 125 or peg 25, both …
River Isle – Crown Winter League – 7th February 2010
Heavy rain on Friday and I was worried it might be off (wish it was now! but more of that later), no more wet stuff and the river looked perfect when I went over it on my way to the draw with a tinge of colour and pace. Once again there were only ten of us and Robin had put some new …
River Isle – V.E.S. Precision League – 31st January 2010
Going into this match I was lying in second place in the league and keen to do well again, there had been a wicked frost overnight and I was hoping it wouldn’t affect the fishing too much. Robin had once again pegged the top end of the river along with some pegs at Ilford. I really didn’t fancy the Ilford pegs or …
River Isle – Crown Winter League – 24th January 2010
With the river bank high on Friday afternoon I feared the worst but the wet stuff stayed away for the rest of Friday and all of Saturday and the Isle looked perfect. A frost the night before probably hadn’t helped matters but I was still confident it would fish well. At the draw there was another depleted turnout of ten and that …
Dillington Pond – V.E.S. Precision League – 17th January 2010
After not fishing last week due to the extreme weather, I couldn’t wait to get on the river this week. There had been some rain on the Saturday but I wasn’t too concerned and as I drove over the Isle I could see it was up and coloured but to me it looked nice and would only get better as the day …
River Isle – Barney Crockett Pairs Open – 3rd January 2010
After not fishing since the 20th Dec I was well up for this one although once again it was bitterly cold and the fishing could be hard going. I’ve got a good record in this event after being the top individual last year and coming third with my partner Justin Charles. Justin couldn’t fish this year so I was with Tiverton’s Bruce …
