With some leave to use up, I booked Tuesday off and headed up to Acorn for the costcutter along with Parker ‘The Pole’. 28 anglers fishing today which is a great turnout for a midweek match. Eddie announced the draw and I was hoping for a nice silvers peg, something like 38 or 40 would do nicely please! When I looked at …

It was another of Chris Fox’s opens on Saturday and I was really looking forward to as there’s been a stocking of decent ide since the last match I fished. Always well attended, there were 26 anglers fishing today and when Chris announced the draw, I delved in and when I looked I was on 33, not the best but certainly not …

A frosty start on Saturday morning as I loaded the car before heading up to Acorn. The lake was flat calm and recent match results suggested we were in for another tough day as 8-10lb has been winning the silvers. A great turnout with 26 anglers fishing and when Foxy announced the draw, I was towards the end of the queue. Nick …

The weekend arrived and of course another named storm decided to pay us a visit, although we’ve had so many now in quick succession, I’ve lost track of what letter we’re up to, E perhaps? We headed up to Acorn for the Xmas open but things didn’t get off to a great start when the burger van was shut so we had …

After having quite a bit of snow in the week which caused chaos per usual, the rubbish weather was set to continue all weekend with Storm Bert determined to wreak havoc with strong winds and heavy rain – great! Nick and me were at Acorn for another of Foxy’s matches and along with everyone else were hoping for a peg that might …

For my first match back, it was a trip up the M5 to the brilliant Acorn Fishery for another of Chris Fox’s opens. Nick and me drew 25 and 24 either side of the concrete bridge which can be good for silvers. I set up two Preston Innovations F1 Maggots to fish 11.5 metres straight out, to the right down the middle and …

Saturday we headed up the M5 to Acorn for another of Chris Fox’s opens, as always it was well attended with 27 anglers booked in. I was hoping for one of the eight bridge pegs or something like 1, 5, 9, 10, 36 or 38 so basically a one in two chance. My drawing arm remains hopelessly broken as I pulled out …

On Saturday we headed up the M5 for another of Chris Fox’s opens at Acorn, we had breakfast in the Bridge Inn which was really good and then got to the venue with plenty of time to spare. Chris announced the draw and I went into the bag quite early this week and pulled out number 24 by the new concrete bridge …

Acorn was the destination for Saturday’s match, there was a great turnout of 27 and when the draw was announced, I hung back hoping to avoid the pegs on the bend (26-30). When I went to delve into the bag, there were no pegs left! Chris had to call everyone back and after adding another ball to the bag, there was the …

I fished my first ever short pole match at Acorn last year and really enjoyed it so was looking forward to this one and the 30 spaces filled up in no time. Chris explained the rules (top kit plus two sections) and the payout which would be the top two overall and then three sections and also the top silvers in each …
