The Perry St low section was my destination for round four after another cracking breakfast at Millfield café and I was really disappointed to pull out peg 1, it’s a corner peg but hasn’t done much in the first three matches. Picky drew peg 10 and the Tart was on peg 3 which won last week so once again my pound coins …

For round two I was on the low numbers at Perry St, we met at Millfield Café for breakfast and once again it was really good and I can’t fault it. Once everybody was sufficiently fuelled up we headed to Perry St to do the draw, the Sadborow section drew and headed off first and then it was our turn, I fancied …

For this year, in a change from the last time I fished it, the Spring League was going to be split into three sections over two venues, Perry St and Sadborow (a pond I hadn’t fished for a long time) with two sections on the former. In another first (for me), we met at Wetherspoons for breakfast and very nice it was too and …

I didn’t get to fish the Perry St League last year due to the dates clashing with the Isle matches and I have to say I missed it, so I was delighted when Les phoned and said this years dates were back to normal. The last time I fished it, I’d done well fishing pellet shallow and meat at five metres and …

The last match of the series arrived and we all knew where we’d be fishing today, I was on peg 2 with Blaker on peg 8 and although I had a two point advantage, I still felt he would be the slight favourite to take the title from that peg. We were two anglers short today and there were a couple of …

The penultimate round arrived and it was chucking it down, I loaded the car up and stuck my brolly in as well, I never normally take one as they tend to just get in the way but the wet stuff was showing no signs of stopping and I thought I could at least keep my bait dry. I got out the pond and the …

With three matches to go, the dreaded peg 20 is still waiting for me and I had a horrible feeling I would be on it today. As Blaker won the last match he got to chose the envelope for todays draw sequence and as Les read out the pegs, my home for today was peg 14 which I was happy with. The sequence …

After the last two matches at Summerhayes and Dillington where I’ve had plenty of bites but finished up well off the pace, I was hoping it wouldn’t be third time unlucky today. Out of the four pegs I’ve still got to come in the remaining fixtures, one is a flier (peg 10), two are half decent (2 and 14) and one is …

Round six arrived and we were a few anglers short once again, Dave Lawrence was standing in for Janders who is on holiday in Cornwall but there would still be four vacant pegs. The envelope for this weeks draw sequence was picked and Les read out which pegs we were on today, my home was to be peg 18 and it’s not …

I woke up to glorious sunshine and hardly a cloud in the sky and it looked like summer had finally arrived, I actually got out the pond a little early and there were a couple of stand ins today, Dave Lawrence was fishing for Rocking and Chris Haines must have been struggling to find a replacement because the Torquay Tart was fishing …
