Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 10th January 2026
On Saturday I headed to Summerhayes for the silvers open and after yet another hard frost, there was plenty of ice on all the lakes so Pete said we could have a rover and decide where we wanted to go. …
Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 6th January 2024
The weekend arrived and with it, finally some decent weather, after a nice breakfast the day got off to a great start when Pete handed me £30 for having the best silvers weight of the year in 2023 with 45lb 7oz. Only 9 of us fishing today so plenty of room, I said to Zooner before the start I wanted to be …
Revels Fishery – Open – 2nd January 2024
For my first match of the New Year it was back to Revels but once again, the weather was awful and forecast to get worse as the day went on – great! I met Parker ‘The Pole’ at Greggs in Yeovil for breakfast and we bumped into Norts who was also stuffing his face! When we arrived, there were only three other …
2023 Yearly Review
In last years review I wrote ‘What a year! I’m not really sure how I’ll better it but I’m sure I’ll have plenty of laughs (and breakfasts) trying’ and to be honest I really didn’t think I’d be able to top it but an incredible 12 months has done just that! So here are the highlights……. Summary 2023 has been fantastic on …
Revels Fishery – Open – 30th December 2023
My final match of 2023 was back at Revels and as per usual I met Parker ‘The Pole’ at Greggs for breakfast. It looked like the weather might be a little better today but by the time we’d finished eating, normal service had resumed and it was chucking it down again! 18 fishing today and we’d be on Main, Dead Tree and …
Acorn Fishery – Silvers Open – 28th December 2023
I was supposed to be fishing a match at Revels yesterday but with very strong winds and rains forecast, only four of us turned up so it was cancelled. Today we were booked in for the silvers open at Acorn but the weather was due to be rubbish again. After meeting Nick, Jenny and Parker ‘The Pole’ for breakfast we headed up …
Summerhayes – Open – 26th December 2023
Boxing Day and it was back to Summerhayes, the first task was to find somewhere for breakfast and after driving to three separate places that were all closed, I was running out of options but Greggs in Bridgwater services came to my rescue! When I arrived at the fishery, there was a decent turnout of 14 including Bruce Hunt who I haven’t …
Summerhayes – Open – 24th December 2023
It was back to Summerhayes on Xmas Eve and the match was on Sellicks which is my favourite lake. After a quick stop for breakfast with Parker ‘The Pole’ we headed to Bridgwater. 12 of us fishing today including Bill ‘The Silvers Slayer’ Hopping who had on a very impressive hat! The wind was howling down the lake so I was hoping …
Acorn Fishery – Xmas Match – 23rd December 2023
With some time off over the Xmas period, I booked into lots of matches starting with a festive fixture at Acorn where there was a fantastic turnout of 31 fishing. Des welcomed everyone before announcing the draw and with Zoe holding the bag, the usual scrum for pegs ensued. I got in quite early and pulled out number 22 by the bridge …
Revels Fishery – Open – 19th December 2023
I haven’t been down to Revels for a while so booked a day off to fish the Tuesday open and met Parker ‘The Pole’ for breakfast before heading to the fishery. 19 anglers fishing today and as it was also a Xmas match, complimentary hot drinks and bacon rolls were laid on which were very much appreciated and Bob C brought on …
Moorlands Farm – Angling Trust Zerofit Silvers Qualifier – 17th December 2023
I’ve been really enjoying doing some of the various silverfish qualifiers and visiting different venues and the latest one saw us heading to Moorlands Farm in Kidderminster. After meeting Nick we made the two hour trip up the M5 and when we arrived at the fishery, Andy Saunders and Stu White were already there and John Fuidge turned up soon after. While …
