With Rob away playing darts, organising this weeks match fell to me, towards the end of the week, the temperature dropped and we even had some brief flurries of snow! There was also a lot of rain forecast for the weekend but with landlord Steve off chucking arrows as well, we were meeting down the river, so would be able to see …

After a pretty disastrous Summer League, I didn’t have high hopes for my bad run ending today unless I did something different and with it being a pairs match I felt the best chance of me and Hurf doing well would be just to get our heads down and fish the short pole. I actually made up a couple of rigs yesterday to fish two …

It’s been a great week for the blog as it flew past 400,000 hits but even bigger news is that Against Men and Fish has a new site supporter, regular readers will know I’m a huge fan of Bait-Tech products and I am over the moon to now be associated with them. I look forward to bringing you details of new products, reviews …

I got to the pub quite early and it was already really busy, Rob said we had 19 booked in for today which I think is the biggest turnout so far and shows how well the pond is fishing. On the down side, I couldn’t have my usual sausage sandwich as they’d run out of bread! Along with most of the regulars, …

We were meeting out the pond today so I got up early for a change and stopped off at Burger King to get a coffee and a sausage and egg muffin thingy which I have to say wasn’t great! There were sixteen anglers booked in for today as the pond’s popularity continues to grow, even the Langport Invader, Baz Morgan, had joined …

After drawing peg 4 in the last two matches, I was hoping for a change of scenery today (although not 24 either as I’ve been on that one twice as well!), I got to the pub fairly early and there was another decent turnout of thirteen anglers. Rob announced the draw and both Ash and me hung back hoping somebody else would pull …

With being away, I missed the last match which Fieldy won with a fantastic 38lb caught on the short pole, Graham had six bream plus loads of roach, a lovely net of fish. The draw was at the pond today and as I arrived there were already a fair few cars there, Rob had a family function which meant Hurf was in …

I actually managed to get to the pub early for a change and it was great to see another good turnout of fifteen anglers at the draw. Steve P had a rather fetching new hat on and we think he was going for the Bob Nudd look but somebody said he was more like ‘Nob Budd!’, see what you think? Steve (or …

I arrived at the pub for round three and there were some more new faces fishing today in the shape of Adie Bishop and Rich S who I normally see at Summerhayes. Rob was back from his holidays and Bob, Nick, Jess and John Dursley were all fishing after missing the last match although a few regulars were missing which meant we …

I got to the pub a bit earlier this week so I could have one of Cindy’s lovely breakfasts and although we were a few down on the last match there were still twelve anglers fishing which is a decent turnout and would also mean we could spread the pegs about a bit. Hopefully the extra room would help as a few …
