Summerhayes – Open – 17th June 2018
I’d really enjoyed the last two matches here so booked in for this weeks open on Longs. A quick stop at the Little Thief and then I was on my way. I pulled into the carpark and as well as all the regulars, it was great to see Phil ‘Digger’ Denslow who I haven’t seen for yonks! I got a couple of nets paid my …
Summerhayes – Open – 3rd June 2018
Back to Summerhayes and this weeks match was on Longs where there have been some decent silvers weights in recent matches, although the carp have also been very active so I spent Saturday tying lots of hooklengths in readiness! I woke up bright and early on Sunday morning and it was already looking like being a glorious day, after a quick pit …
Summerhayes – Champion of Champions Silvers Final – 27th October 2017
I’d been looking forward to this match since I qualified way back in April and thankfully when I woke up, my back didn’t feel too bad. I stopped in the Little Chef for brekkie on the way and arrived in good time. As I went to pay my pools, it was lovely to see the legend that is Charlie Barnes had come along to …
Summerhayes – Open – 20th October 2017
I’d booked the Friday off work for a little practice before the Champion of Champions Final next week and after not fishing last Sunday, I was gagging to get back on the bank. My back was still not 100% but a lot better than it was so I decided to give it a go as I was climbing the walls at home! The …
Summerhayes – Open – 3rd September 2017
I was back at Summerhayes this week and for once the forecasters had got it right and it was chucking it down, a quick pit stop at the Little Thief set me up for the day and then it was on to Bridgwater. There was a good turnout today with some new faces which was great to see along with the more …
Summerhayes – Open – 28th August 2017
When I booked in, Pete said we’d be on Longs today which I was looking forward to it as it’s been fishing really well with Roger Russell winning Fridays silvers match with over 28lb of skimmers from peg 33. I stopped off on the way and had breakfast at the Little Chef, which as always was good although a tad expensive. The traffic …
Summerhayes – Open – 30th April 2017
After some lovely weather, the temperature took a dive and there was even snow reported in some areas during the week! The forecast wasn’t great for today either although when I picked Janders up it was dry albeit a tad windy. We got to Bridgwater and as we parked up, the pegs in front of the car park (37-39) look fairly sheltered and I …
Summerhayes – Open – 14th April 2017
With it being Good Friday, myself and Janders booked into the silvers only match at Summerhayes. Jeff Sparkes has been running the Friday matches with all the winners qualifying for a Champion of Champions match in October and because of the Bank Holiday there was a good turnout of 18 anglers. Jeff announced the draw and said all the odd peg numbers were being used today so …
Summerhayes – Open – 26th March 2017
The match was on Longs this week and the good news was that the weather was a lot better than it has been, the bad news was that the Torquay Tart had text me to say he was fishing today! I picked Janders up and as soon as we pulled into the car park I could see the Tart waving at us …
Summerhayes – Open – 5th March 2017
With our river matches finished now until October and the Summer league not starting until May, I booked into Summerhayes today. Janders was going to come as well as he hadn’t been fishing for ages but with the weather forecast not looking very good, he decided to give it a miss. Driving over to Bridgwater in the morning, it wasn’t looking too bad and …
