Avalon Fisheries – 21st May 2023
The next Stoke match at Avalon was once again very popular with 28 anglers fishing, after breakfast at the bowling club, we arrived at the fishery about ten minutes before the draw time and the car park was rammed. Norts welcomed everyone before the usual scrum ensued as people delved into the bag of doom. I was hoping to get a peg …
Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 20th May 2023
Loads more reports on the way with a double header this weekend, a midweek match coming up and then yet another Bank Holiday with three more matches! First up, a silvers only match on Sellicks at Summerhayes. Only eight of us again today so loads of room, as Pete and Sally were away, Adie was in charge and spread us out with …
Summerhayes – Open – 14th May 2023
For my seventh match in nine days, it was back to Summerhayes which was pretty busy with a match on both lakes. We were on Longs with a good turnout of 22 anglers fishing and it was nice to see Paul Homewood and Steve Kedge for the first time in ages. When I got called up to draw, I pulled out number …
Acorn Fishery – Open – 13th May 2023
After two days of actually not fishing it was back to Acorn for one of Chris Fox’s excellent matches. We made the usual stop for breakfast which was lovely and then to the fishery. 23 fishing today including ‘Bunghole’ Bob Gullick who I haven’t seen for ages. Chris held aloft the bag of fate and after a spate of drawing the same …
Hebditch’s Pond – Ruthie’s Cup – 10th May 2023
For match day five, it was the first round of Ruthie’s Cup at Hebditch’s Pond. Fished for the first time last year, Ruthie’s Cup is a series of matches in memory of The Grand Wiz’s daughter who was cruelly taken far too early by cancer. With a trophy very kindly donated by Steve Chant, it was keenly contested with Chris Norton crowned …
Acorn Fishery – Costcutter – 9th May 2023
Match day four and it’s my birthday (I know, I know, hard paper round!), I always try and fish a match and this year I booked into the costcutter at Acorn. After an early start I stopped at the burger van for breakfast which was lovely and then onto the fishery. I picked up some bait, paid my pools and waited for …
Summerhayes – Open – 8th May 2023
Match day three saw me and Nick back at Summerhayes, we went to the Obridge in Taunton for breakfast and it was really good. The match was scheduled to be on Longs again today but Zooner had phoned me yesterday to say it had fished really hard and Pete had moved it to Sellicks which was good news. Another great turnout of …
Coombe Farm – IAA Summer League 1 – 7th May 2023
This year the IAA Summer League is being split between Coombe Farm and Dillington with the anglers fishing both venues three times. Rob did a live draw on Facebook in the week so we all knew which lake we would be on and for the first match it was Coombe for me. In the morning, the bowling club was busy with the …
Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 6th May 2023
After fishing four matches in as many days a couple of weeks back, for my latest fishy extravaganza I’m taking it a step further and doing five, wish me luck! As I write this I just got home from match day three and if I’m honest, I’m struggling a bit to keep up with the reports, so they might be a little …
Summerhayes – Open – 1st May 2023
To finish off the long weekend we were back at Summerhayes and back on Sellicks which is my favourite lake. Nick very kindly provided the bacon sarnies in the morning and wouldn’t accept any payment so we bunged a few more quid in the charity pot. Eighteen fishing today, the golden peg was number 12 and when my name was called out, …
