Summerhayes – Open – 21st April 2024
The following day we headed to Summerhayes for the open on Longs, 23 anglers fishing today and incredibly I managed to draw peg 13 for the second match on the trot. Its a peg I’ve been on a lot recently, …
Dillington – IAA Summer League 5 – 6th August 2023
Round 5 when we should have been at Coombe was cancelled and will be rescheduled so this is actually Round 6 when we would have been at Dillington but I’ve called it Round 5 as it’s the fifth match we’ve fished (hopefully that makes sort of sense!). After breakfast at the bowling club, it was time for the draw, starting with the …
Summerhayes – Clive and Ray’s Memorial Match – 5th August 2023
On Saturday it was Clive and Ray’s Memorial, a match I was very proud to win last year (you can read about that one here if you so wish!) and I would be trying my hardest to do it again. I’ve got used to the weather being awful every weekend but the forecast was nothing but downright despicable with 50mph winds and …
Revels Fishery – Open – 1st August 2023
After a lovely days fishing last week, I was back for another go this Tuesday along with Parker ‘The Pole’. With 14 fishing we were on Canal and Main today and I wouldn’t mind either as long as I could avoid the noted carp pegs. The draw was announced and I was around half way down the list, Dean delved into the …
Summerhayes – 30th July 2023
For the next Stoke match we were at Summerhayes on Longs which has been fishing quite hard for silvers of late. Quite a few of us met for breakfast including Roy Worth and Chanter so the banter was top notch and it’s always a lovely way to start the day! Then on to the fishery which was busy with a match on …
Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 29th July 2023
I’ve been really enjoying these Saturday silvers matches although the turnouts have been fairly modest, averaging around 8-10 anglers. Pulling into the car park, there were a few more vehicles this week with 15 booked in to fish. Pete announced the draw and we were called up in the order that we’d booked in. The golden peg today was 13 and it …
Revels Fishery – Open – 25th July 2023
I really enjoyed my last match at Revels a few weeks back and had been dying to get back so booked a few Tuesdays off work. After meeting Parker The Pole for breakfast we headed to the fishery. We were a little early and I thought we’d be the first ones there but the car park was already virtually full as there …
River Parrett – Huntsman Cup – 23rd July 2023
After all the rain on Saturday, I was sure there was no way we’d be on the river the following day but I was assured there hadn’t been much rain down here and the Parrett would be fishable. The Breakfast Club assembled and were well looked after by Charlotte at the bowling club before we headed to Kingsbury. As we turned into …
Acorn Fishery – Open – 22nd July 2023
I’ve only just caught up with last weekend’s reports and it’s time to start again with another trip up to Acorn for (hopefully) a nice day fishing for silvers. Of course as it’s the weekend, the forecast was pretty rubbish with lots of rain and strong winds on the agenda – great! Despite the weather, the match was a sell out with …
Summerhayes – Open – 16th July 2023
Sunday we were back at Summerhayes with the weather due to be pants again and I hoped a nice brekkie at the bowling club wasn’t going to be the highlight of the day! There was a decent turnout of 17 brave souls prepared to face the weather and we were on Longs which has been a bit hit and miss for silvers …
Acorn Fishery – Short Pole Match – 15th July 2023
I really enjoyed my first short pole match here a few weeks back so when I saw they had another coming up I booked straight on along with Nick and Andy S also said he fancied it. Of course as the weekend approached so did the crappy weather with strong winds and loads of rain, I expect nothing less anymore! I met …
