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 …
Acorn Fishery – Open – 18th March 2023
The weekend soon arrived and after an early start I was only a little late meeting Nick at the garage in Ilminster (sorry mate!). We made good time and went to the burger van again and had an excellent bacon, sausage and egg bap before heading to the fishery. Seventeen anglers eagerly awaited the draw and with Des holding the bag, Zoe …
Dillington Pond – IAA Winter League 5 – 12th March 2023
On Sunday it was back to Dillington for the final round of the winter league and it was forecast to be a few degrees warmer than the previous day so hopefully it would fish well. We met at the bowling club for breakfast and then it was time for the draw. There were fifteen anglers originally booked in for this one but …
Acorn Fishery – Open – 11th March 2023
After blanking last weekend, I was hoping for a few bites this week at Acorn on Saturday and Dilly the following day. I met Nick in Ilminster and we headed to the Bridge Inn for breakfast, I ordered the large one last time which proved too much for me, this time I went for the standard with added toast and black pudding …
Hebditch’s Pond – 5th March 2023
Only one match for me this weekend as Parker ‘The Pole’ joined me on Saturday and we headed to The Big One in Farnborough for the first time in a few years. We met up with Norts there and it was a brilliant day, although some of the big players on the match scene were absent (Preston, Daiwa, Maver, Drennan and Matrix), …
Dillington Pond – IAA Winter League 4 – 26th February 2023
With the river fishing really patchily, the decision was made to move the remaining two rounds to Dillington where we should all get some bites. Although saying that, waking up to another frost wouldn’t do us any favours! We met at the bowling club for breakfast (excellent as ever) and then it was time for the all important draw with most people …
Acorn Fishery – Open – 25th February 2023
I was looking forward to another Saturday at Acorn although it was all change again with our crazy weather and I had to defrost the car in the morning. After meeting Nick and Jenny in Ilminster, we headed to Acorn via a pitstop at a burger van in Clevedon for breakfast which was very nice. A great turnout again including Tom Thick …
Summerhayes – Open – 19th February 2023
Sunday kicked off with another lush bowling club brekkie thanks to Charlotte and we were joined by the Grand Wiz and Burnsey who were off to Trinity for the open. With our bellies full, we headed to Summerhayes and when we arrived, the car park was already busy with 21 anglers booked in. Pete announced the draw starting with the golden peg …
Acorn Fishery – Open – 18th February 2023
For this weekend’s opener, it was back to Acorn for another of Chris Fox’s matches, I’ve been loving the silvers fishing but the carp are starting to wake up now as well. I met Steve ‘The Carp Slayer’ Parker, Nick ‘The Verminator’ Payne and Jenny before heading to Clevedon. We tried the Bridge Inn for breakfast which is just up the road …
Summerhayes – Open – 12th February 2023
After a serious case of deja vu at Revels yesterday when I drew peg 46 for the second time and had virtually the same number of fish for exactly the same weight as last time, I was hoping for a similar experience on Sellicks today where hopefully I’d draw peg 20 again! Another cracking breakfast courtesy of Charlotte at the bowling club …
Revels Fishery – Silvers Open – 11th February 2023
Another double header weekend starting with a silvers open at Revels, the last few of these I’ve fished have had a couple of things in common, firstly the weather was absolutely atrocious and secondly, Middle lake is the place to draw and so far I’ve managed to avoid it! After meeting Nick and Jenny for breakfast in Yeovil, we headed to the …
