I was hoping my first match of the year would be on the river but heavy rain yesterday scuppered that, I got to the Oak for the draw and there was a disappointing turnout and Rob is on about not running a league next year which will be a real shame. He said today we’d be either out the pond or down …

We had quite a bit of rain overnight but I was still hopeful we’d be on the river, I got to the Oak for the draw and was informed we’d be on the pond today. I wasn’t too upset as it’s been fishing well and we should get plenty of bites. Baz was fishing again today even though there wasn’t much in …

It was the last match of the Summer League today and another lovely day, I got to the Oak and it was nice to see Mike Board fishing today although we were down a few who had fished the last match. In the league Fieldy had the title sown up already although Rob and Bruce would fight it out today for second …

After getting a soaking on Monday, I was relieved to wake up and see the sun shining through the window this morning. I loaded the car and was quite looking forward to a nice days roach fishing and on arriving at the pub for the draw, it was actually quite busy as a few more new faces had turned up. Big Frank …

In the last match Tackleuk’s Ashley Tomkins battered us all with nearly 22lb of quality roach and rudd caught shallow but I wasn’t too upset as it proved the whip is beatable. To be honest I tried fishing shallow that match and got it all wrong so was determined to do a better job today. I got to the draw with five …

My last visit to Dillington in June was a bit of a disaster and I ended up with 9lb 8oz for nowhere and I was a long way off the pace so I was expecting another battering from the whip boys this week. I got to the Oak for the draw and Bruce wasn’t fishing today as he’s poorly so get well …

After going out to watch the juniors last week where most of the fish were caught up in the water I was sure it would be the same today with hot sunny conditions forecast. There were only a few of us fishing today and I just can’t understand it with the pond fishing so well. We decided to put all the pegs …

After a great days fishing in the first match I was hoping for more of the same today, on arriving at the Oak for the draw it was nice to see Bruce Hunt, Leighton Cox and Tony Newman were fishing today along with the regulars, Moses and Justin were missing today so we’re not far off a decent sized match. Rob had …

It was the first match of Ilminster’s Summer League today and I normally fish a few but miss several due to the dates clashing with the Perry St League. I really enjoy fishing the pond in the winter where you can fish light and catch some really nice nets of quality roach on the pole but as it warms up the whip …
