River Isle – Royal Oak Winter League 6 – 17th January 2016
We were finally able to get back on the river for this match and when I got to the Oak in the morning for the draw it was nice to see Baz Morgan was fishing today. Rob had pegged the Hambridge and Isle Brewers sections and there were also a couple of new pegs in, so it would be interesting to see how …
SSP Baits Pellets Review
After receiving a selection of the new SSP Baits System-X range to review, I tried the Dark Silt groundbait first and was very impressed, if you didn’t read it first time round you can see it here SSP Baits Review. As most of my fishing has been on natural venues for roach, I hadn’t had chance to try the pellets until the …
Dillington Pond – V.E.S. Precision League 5 – 10th January 2016
After yet more torrential rain on Saturday Rob had no choice but to put us on the pond again for round five. At the draw, there were thirteen anglers booked in for this one including the Tackleuk baggers Scott and Ash and it was nice to see Terry Morgan back again as he hadn’t fished with us for a while. When it was …

Hebditch’s Pond – 3rd January 2016
A New Year and a new venue! Harry Hebditch started fishing our matches a few months back and he has an irrigation pond on the farm which he holds occasional charity matches on and with nothing in the club book for this weekend we asked him if we could fish it and he very kindly agreed. He also suggested we pop out and had …
2015 Yearly Review
Here’s my look back at last year January 2015 The first match of the year saw us at Dillington and with it being mild and the pond coloured I was hoping it would fish well. Everybody had plenty of bites but the whip boys dominated and Justin Charles on the end peg won with 13lb 6oz and he had some quality roach. I …
Dillington Pond – 27th December 2015
With no scheduled match this week, a few of us decided to have a knock-up out the pond. I was a bit late getting there (nothing new there then!) and there were only half a dozen of us fishing today which was a bit of a shame but with the weather still exceptionally mild for the time of year and plenty of fish …
Dillington Pond – V.E.S. Precision League 4 – 20th December 2015
With awful weather again on Saturday we were back out the pond for this one and there were fourteen anglers booked in. After coffee and a sausage sarnie, it was time to head out the pond for the draw as Scott was meeting us out there. There were three golden pegs today, 13, 18 and 19 and there was a good chance …
SSP Baits Review
It’s always exciting when a new bait company appears on the scene and if Facebook is anything to go by, there’s a new boilie making firm springing up every five minutes, but for the match and pleasure anglers among us it’s a relative rarity as there are a few big names that dominate the market. I suppose the last one to burst …
