Summerhayes – Open – 26th October 2025
I haven’t been to Summerhayes for a few weeks and with the level still way down and it being quite chilly, much like the last match I thought 5-6lb would be a good silvers weight. Pete announced the draw and …
Dillington Pond – 8th November 2015
With loads of rain on Friday and Saturday morning, the river was bank high and unfishable so we were out the pond today and after last weeks disaster it would be nice just to put some fish in the net. Today was supposed to be a V.E.S. Precision match but Rob said it would be rescheduled to one of the free dates where hopefully …
River Isle – 1st November 2015
With no scheduled league matches this week we decided to have a knock up and also use it as a chance to have a look at some other stretches of the river. There had been a lot of rain earlier in the week and the river was unfishable on Thursday but with no more of the wet stuff, the river should be …
River Isle – V.E.S. Precision League 2 – 25th October 2015
I got to the pub for the draw early and there seems to be more and more cars outside every week! We were up to 15 anglers this week, which is great to see, Paul Homewood, Bob Hammond and the Langport invader, Baz Morgan, were joining us today. Rob had pegged Redbridge, Isle Brewers and Hambridge with five pegs on each stretch. …

River Isle – Royal Oak Winter League 2 – 18th October 2015
After blanking in the first match, I needed a decent result today or my league was over before it started, I got to the pub for the draw and saw Rob had pegged Isle Brewers again but had also put a few pegs in at Hambridge, they were full of fish at the end of last season but I thought it might be …
River Isle – V.E.S. Precision League 1 – 11th October 2015
After blanking last week I was hoping for better things today, I knew Rob was pegging Redbridge and Isle Brewers and from all accounts there were loads of small fish topping when they were down there yesterday sorting out pegs. I got to the pub for the draw and there was a decent turnout of twelve (well eleven actually because Heardy was going …

River Isle – Royal Oak Winter League 1 – 4th October 2015
I was really looking forward to getting back on the river today, I got to the pub in good time and there was a decent turnout of eight anglers including some more news in the shape of Gordon Aplin and his son Karl. Gordon’s face looked familiar and he said he used to fish matches back in the era of Adrian Green, Barney …
Dillington Pond – Pairs Open – 27th September 2015
I wasn’t actually sure I’d be able to go fishing today as my amazing, lovely Mum passed away on Friday morning after battling a brain tumour for the last five months. It’s been a horrendous time for my Dad and me watching her deteriorate and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone but at least she’s at peace now. I didn’t really want to spread …
Summerhayes – Open – 20th September 2015
We were back on Longs for this match and I fancied a draw on the far side, something like peg 2 again would do me but by the time I stuck my hand in the bucket there was only one ball left, a quick look revealed my home for the next six hours would be peg 29. I must admit I was a …
