Langport League – Stathe Drain – 20th August 2006
Stathe Drain – The main species are roach, skimmers, hybrids, perch, bream and tench. Round five of the Langport league arrived and I must admit I was a little nervous. We (Chard Remains) really needed a good result to claw back the three point deficit between ourselves and team Focus. As I went in to do the team draw I felt it …

River Isle – 13th August 2006
River Isle – the main species are chub, roach, dace, trout and minnows. This was really a non starter, as next weeks Dillington match was cancelled due to people going on holiday etc I had been badgering the organiser, Robin Cox, to hold a match somewhere.

Next up
My next match is the third round of the Langport teams of five on the River Parrett on Sunday (30th). My team, Chard Remains, finished 7th (out of eight) on the first match and 3rd on the second match. I think overall we are languishing near the bottom, still it’s the first round of the knockout so maybe we can buck our …

Dillington Pond – 23rd July 2006
Dillington Pond – The main species are roach, rudd, perch and chub. Other secies present are bream, tench, crucian carp and eels. Met at the Crown per usual, drew peg 2. When we got to the pond it was a lot lower than usual due to a farmer abstracting for his potatoes! As a consequence we were all sat in thick glutinous …

Hopefully as the blog progresses there will be some funny stories and tales of triumph and defeat and days that are just a complete disaster.My first entry will be …
