Perry St Pond – Spring League 6 – 2nd June 2013
It was back to the spring league this Sunday and as I was away for the last match and nobody could be found to fish for me, I’m slipping down the tables rapidly, it didn’t help that I had peg 1 last match, so that’s one of my corner pegs gone. Before I went on holiday I’d been on a bit of …
Perry St Pond – Spring League 4 – 12th May 2013
Today’s blog will be on the short side as I’ve got to finish getting my stuff ready for my holiday to Thailand and the wonderful Gillhams Resort (the fact I didn’t do very well has nothing to do with it!). We all gathered to see what todays draw sequence would be and Dino reckons he can tell which pegs he won’t be on due to some …
Great Days (and some that didn’t go quite to plan!)
I recently posted my ‘Top Ten Posts Of All Time’ which proved to be popular (and can be read on the link below) http://www.againstmenandfish.com/2013/04/its-funny-old-game-my-top-ten-posts.html/ and there were several ‘Great Days’ that didn’t quite make the top ten so I’ve listed them below (again in no particular order) 5 – The Lady Of The Stream In all my years of fishing I’d never caught …
Perry St Pond – Spring League 3 – 5th May 2013
The bad weather looks to be behind us and I was looking forward to the long weekend and fishing a couple of matches but on arriving out the pond, someone said we weren’t going to Chris’s on the Monday which I was really disappointed about. After paying for my pools and bait it was soon time for Les to draw for the …
Perry St Pond – Spring League 2 – 21st April 2013
Spring looks finally to have arrived and the sun was shining as I loaded the car before making my way out the pond. I collected my bait from Les before he announced the draw for the start of the pairs knockout, I managed to get a bye so for me the knockout will start next match. He then opened an envelope for …
Perry St Pond – Spring League 1 – 14th April 2013
For this year’s league, Les had brought in a new payout system where the top four carp weights and the top four silvers weights are paid out each match and there would be two leagues, one for silvers and one for carp and these would be decided on weight. I had thought I would try and fish for silvers but after only catching one …
It’s a funny old game – My Top Ten Posts
Match fishing, it’s a funny old game and that’s why I love it so much. You never know what’s going to happen and I think that’s what keeps us going week after week. You can be the best angler in the world but if the fish aren’t in your peg or they’re not feeding, World Champions can blank like the rest of …
Perry St Pond – Good Friday Match – 29th March 2013
As always Chard fish a match on the Good Friday at Perry St Pond and with the spring league starting in two weeks time I hoped I could get some clues on how I was going to approach the league. After some water quality issues the club decided to ban pellet and meat which threw my usual game plan of fishing shallow …
Perry St Pond – Spring League 10 – 15th July 2012
The final match arrived and I must admit I was feeling a little nervous as I really wanted to win the knockout final after losing in the final of the pairs knockout and I was also in contention of a minor league placing. Mark Mockridge was hot favourite to win as he had a corner to come and his joker to play, …
Perry St Pond – Spring League 9 – 8th July 2012
The weather over the last couple of days had been horrendous with a months worth of rain falling in a single day and floods all over the place. Thankfully the forecast was much better for today and there was even an orange thing in the sky later in the day! We were a couple short for this match as the patchy fishing …
