Revels Fishery – Open – 7th April 2026
For my fifth match in as many days and a first trip of the year to Revels, I’d booked a day off work to extend the long weekend. 17 fishing today with Main and Dead Tree lakes being used, I …

Langport League – River Parrett – 15th July 2007
After our fourth place in the last match I was hoping for another decent performance from the team in this match. At the draw I once again managed to avoid any end pegs but thankfully also avoided the dreaded scales or weighboards. My peg was C7 on the Coombe stretch where I’ve done alright in the past. The river looked in good …

Dillington Pond – Summer League – 8th July 2007
It looked like being a gorgeous day as I arrived at the Crown for the draw with the sun blazing down. All the anglers who fished the last match were here along with Yeovil Angling Centre boss, Scotty Russell. I didn’t really mind where I drew as long as it wasn’t the pumphouse as that swim hasn’t been kind to me. The …

Langport League – River Parrett – 1st July 2007
During the three years I fished this league with the Chard Remains team we have been runner’s up twice and winners of the knockout cup, could we go one better this year? After loads of rain for what seemed like weeks I was sure this one was going to be called off. To my suprise the river actually looked in pretty good …

Dillington Pond – Summer League – 24th June 2007
After last weeks disaster where I finished last I was keen to get back here and see if I really had lost my touch. I was a little suprised when I got to the pub for the draw to see there were ten other anglers there, Roger Russell and his mate Rob had turned up for this one and it was nice …

Dillington Pond – Summer League – 17th June 2007
Back to my favourite venue for this match and at the draw I was quite suprised to see only six other anglers there. Still there was a match and money to be won. I stuck my hand in the bucket and pulled out peg four which was by the pumphouse. I have drawn here a few times and struggled to be honest …

Perry St Pond – Spring League – 10th June 2007
Blistering hot conditions met the anglers for the last match and after paying my pools and playing my joker I got one of the favoured pegs, number one. I really needed a good result and the swim looked really nice with loads of carp moving. In front of me was a huge bed of lilies that stretched to 11 metres and the …

Dillington Pond – Summer League – 3rd June 2007
I was looking forward to this one, the first match of the Ilminster summer league. At the draw there were only six of us fishing, including my nemesis, Janders. I drew peg 6, by one of the inlets and although normally a good peg, nobody knew how it would fish. There were fish topping everywhere and loads of fry about so it …

Perry St Pond – Spring League – 27th May 2007
Match day five arrived and so did the rain! This time however I was prepared and brought a brolly. I didn’t draw very well, peg 16, a swim I did 9lb off a couple of matches back. The swim has a bed of lilies on the inside to the right, although I never caught anything from it last time. I set up …

Dillington Pond – 20th May 2007
Bit of a disaster this week, Robin Cox, the summer league organiser had sent me the dates and the first match was supposed to be today. I knew he was holiday in Turkey but was getting back on Saturday so I assumed the match was still on. Anyway Janders and myself arrived at the Crown just before nine for the draw and …

Perry Street Pond – Spring League – 13th May 2007
Spring League matchday four arrived and I really needed a good result to keep me in with a chance of a final league placing. I was stood waiting for the draw with Janders and asked which peg he fancied and he replied peg one which has to be the most consistent peg on the pond. Les came round with the draw bucket …
