I’ve had rather a busy weekend so before I get on to this weeks match I have to just mention the Big One show at Farnborough, I won tickets so thought it would be nice to go and have a look around and also to wish Steve Mayo farewell before he heads off to Gillhams in Thailand. I actually had two tickets …

As much as I enjoyed going to Portishead for Steve Mayo’s leaving meal last week, and it was a great night and I met some really nice people, I did miss my fishing fix. So I was gagging to get out this week and with the never ending rain I wasn’t too upset that we would be on the pond again. I’ve …

After getting another battering from the weather yesterday, I was relieved when I looked out the window this morning and saw blue skies, things got even better when I got outside and there was no real wind to speak of. I knew we’d be back out the pond again today, the river looked good yesterday morning but the rain we had combined …

It had been a lovely day on Saturday but the forecast for today was strong winds and rain, rain and more rain – great! I got to the pub for the draw and Steve let me have my repaired section and what a fantastic job, I’ll have to find out the name of the company and put it on here. All the …

After all the rain yesterday I was resigned to being on the pond again but with the Tackleuk muggers not in attendance, at least the rest of us had a chance. We’d also had a wicked frost overnight and I wasn’t sure that would help the fishing much. Rob decided to sort out the pegs at the pond and there were no …

The weather looked like it was going to be a bit better for this one so hopefully I wouldn’t breaking any more pole sections! The Yeovil muggers were back again this week and there was also another new face at the draw in the shape of Scott Jackson and it was lovely to see him. Mind you, I think he’d turned up …

I was hoping to get 2014 off to a good start and we were out the pond today as the Isle has been flooded for ages. It’s been fishing well and I was quite looking forward to it (I should have known better!), Tackleuk muggers Scott and Ashley were fishing today and with a depleted turnout due to the weather, Rob was …

Well that was a weekend to forget, I popped over to Tackleuk yesterday and bought some new elastic and a couple more Drennan Roach floats for today and was quite looking forward to it after the last match. I changed my elastic and made some rigs up and thought I’d check the footy to see how Chelsea were getting on and we …

I arrived at the Royal Oak for the draw today at the same time as Robin who was looking very worse for wear! There were nine of us today including Bruce ‘The Speed Machine’ Hunt and there was also a new face at the draw, a really nice bloke called Guy and it’s always great to get some new anglers fishing. I pulled …
