Revels Fishery – Open – 5th May 2026
Revels on Tuesday was the destination for my fourth match in as many days and after Dean drew me two cracking silvers pegs on my previous visits this year, I was sure I was due a duff one today. Part …
Summerhayes – Open – 8th February 2026
The following day it was back to Summerhayes but on Longs this time and I was well happy when I drew peg 30 on the track, a brilliant area for silvers and my neighbours for the day were McKenzie on 29 with Big Bad Bob to my left. As per usual I kicked off on the top kit plus two line but …
Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 7th February 2026
For the next silvers match on Sellicks there was a decent turnout of ten, draw time arrived and I was fourth on the list and pulled out 24 which wouldn’t have been my first choice but at least I’d managed to avoid 12 where I’d struggled on my last two visits. I had Roy next door on 22 while Alex had drawn …
Summerhayes – Open – 1st February 2026
Into February and this crappy weather is showing no signs of abating and I’m proper fed up with it now, I love my fishing but it’s not much fun getting soaked and blown off the bank every week! After meeting Nick for brekkie we headed to Bridgwater for the match on Longs and there were 12 hardy souls in attendance today. Pete …
Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 31st January 2026
The final outing of the month was a Saturday silvers match on Sellicks, eight of us fishing today and the only peg I really didn’t want was 12 at the top end and I may have mentioned it once or twice! I was third on the list behind Rog who pulled out number 24 and Nick who was happy with 6, I …
Summerhayes – Open – 25th January 2026
Only nine of us fishing today and when Pete announced the draw, I was fourth on the list and well happy when I pulled out 32 which is an absolute bunghole. For company I had Steve Collins and Oscar on either side, Dan ‘Making It Happen’ Taggart was on golden peg 36 while Nick was down on 19. I set up the …
Viaduct Fishery – Fish South Silvers Qualifier – 24th January 2026
For the next Fish South Silvers qualifier at the Viaduct, heavy rain and strong winds were forecast and it’s just never ending at the moment. Everybody was hoping for a peg on the near side as the wind would be off your back and for once my drawing arm behaved pulling out 112 which is definitely in the right area as Will …
Summerhayes – Open – 18th January 2026
Sellicks on Sunday and I was hoping for one of the pegs down the arms of the lake, preferably on the near side (2-8) although I’d happily take the opposite bank (16-22), I just really didn’t want to draw the top end and of course pulled out number 12! We were also in for a very wet day (just for a change!) …
Acorn Fishery – Open – 17th January 2026
On Saturday it was up to Acorn for the first time this year, 28 anglers fishing today and I was disappointed to draw peg 12 as it’s a great carp swim. It’s also one of the widest at over 16 metres which wouldn’t be ideal as the ide tend to be across to the island and of course it was forecast to …
Summerhayes – Open – 11th January 2026
Although we had a frosty start yesterday it actually turned out to be rather nice, the forecast for Sunday was a much more miserable prospect with strong winds and rain predicted all day! A dozen hardy anglers in attendance and Pete said we could have another rover so people could try and pick swims to afford some respite from the elements. For …
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. Nine fishing today and I pulled out choice seven which wasn’t ideal! As people were called up and began choosing the pegs …
