Round four arrived and it looked like we were in for a glorious day weather wise, the only downside was that the Torquay Tart was standing in for somebody today! I was actually a little early for a change and paid my pools before having a chat with Janders and the Tart. The rest started turning up, fresh from having their breakfasts, well …

Round three arrived after I’d had a really crappy week where my Mum was taken ill on Wednesday and rushed to Musgrove hospital and then it was my birthday on Saturday (39 again!) but obviously I didn’t really feel like celebrating much and I also wasn’t really up for this today. I got to the pond and we were a few short for …

Firstly there should have been a blog yesterday describing how Steve Hurford and myself went to Seaton and caught lots of big mullet but despite seeing loads and having them swim around our floats we never had a bite between us all day. To be honest the weather wasn’t great for it and we had a fair bit of rain but I still enjoyed …

I always look forward to the start of the Perry St league and catching up with everyone and on arriving at the pond I could already see quite a few familiar faces like Les, Bish, Butch, Bushy and Rocking Roy, unfortunately I could also see the Torquay Tart but fortunately he was standing in for someone so I won’t have to see him every …

Yesterday had been really hot and I’d managed to burn my face and neck while walking round the Thai festival in Bristol so would need to be more careful today, although it did look like it was going to be a bit more overcast which would be better fishing conditions. Everyone knew which pegs they were on today and I had peg …

After a few days of unsettled weather with some thunder and lightning, the weather was scorching for this one as we head towards the business end of this years league. I knew I’d either be on peg 6 or peg 8 today and after Hoff picked the envelope it turned out peg 8 was my home for six hours today. The draw …

After watching the juniors yesterday I was quite looking forward to this match, the weather was nice again although some rain was forecast for later but I was hoping I’d be able to catch shallow again. We nearly had a full house again with only one absentee today. I had to pick the envelope for the draw sequence and when Les opened …

After some lovely weather of late, yesterday was just awful with some really heavy rain storms, the forecast was that Sunday would be the better of the two days and on waking up it looked like they had got it right for once. On arriving at the pond it was obvious we were a few short again with Pup and Exeter Mike …

The weather was glorious for this match and it looked like we’d be in for a nice day for a change. I got to the car park for the draw and we were a few anglers short for this match due to people being on holiday and it being Father’s Day among other things and I have to say I do feel …

I missed two matches while I was away in Thailand and I believe Mike Thomas stood in for me while I was away so huge thanks for that Mike T! Before Les did the draw for this weeks peg sequence he announced Janders and Dino had won the pairs knockout last match, well done chaps! The envelope for today was opened and …
