Summerhayes – Open – 3rd November 2013
With no club match on this week, I phoned Pete and booked in for the match on Sellicks. Driving to Bridgwater I was hoping we would all be on the one pond and not split with Lily and on arriving, Heardy confirmed we were all on Sellicks – phew! After a coffee Pete announced the draw and I went in after about half the …
Summerhayes – Festival Day 1 – 25th August 2013
I was looking forward to another of Pete’s mini festivals after coming close last time when I ended up second in the silvers. There were 17 anglers today and we would be split over Longs and Sellicks on day one and then swap ponds for the second day. In the week 17lb of skimmers was the top silvers weight on Sellicks from …
Summerhayes – Open – 11th August 2013
After struggling last week I was hoping for a nice days silvers fishing today, Janders was back from yet another holiday and fishing today as well. I’d received loads of texts from the Torquay Tart yesterday saying how he was going to whoop my ass (yawn, yawn – heard it all before) and I would need to bring a knife and fork …
Summerhayes – Open – 28th July 2013
The match this week was on Sellicks and Janders was coming along too, at the draw there was a good turnout of 17 anglers although I have to say I’m not a big fan of the 11 ‘o’ clock draw time as it means I don’t get home until gone eight. As always it was windy and it was blowing down towards …
Summerhayes – Open – 30th June 2013
I thought the match was on Longs this week but I phoned Pete to book me and Janders in and he said it would be on Sellicks and Lily again. I spent the rest of the week convinced I’d end up on Lily but on arriving, Pete said all twenty of us would be on Sellicks – phew. I pulled out peg 15 …
Some days it’s a struggle
I haven’t done a ‘Hit Parade’ for a while so today I thought I’d take a look back at some of those days when it’s a real struggle. We’ve all had them where you’ve drawn a duff peg or the fishery seems to have switched off or the weather’s so cold you just can’t buy a bite but it’s worth hanging on …
Summerhayes – Festival Day 1 – 31st March 2013
I was really looking forward to this two day mini-festival, the draw time was a much more sociable 10:00 after the clocks had gone forward and on looking out the window the sun was out! There was still a chill to the air and a cold easterly wind but conditions were a lot better than they have been. I got to the …
Summerhayes – Open – 24th March 2013
I must admit I’m fed up with this weather now, I look forward all week to fishing on a Sunday but when it’s as cold as this, it’s not much fun and the fish don’t really want to play ball either. Janders was coming along for the ride this week and was hoping for a few bites after blanking at Perry St …
Summerhayes – Open – 17th March 2013
I did some more prep last night which is nearly unheard of for me and was looking forward to another nice days silvers fishing at Summerhayes. First thing was a tad chilly but it was looking brighter by the minute as I travelled to Bridgwater, on arriving, the car park was rammed as there was also a match on Longs today. I …
Summerhayes – Open – 2nd January 2013
I’m still on my Xmas hols so I booked into a match at Summerhayes today, it was on Sellicks and I was determined to try and fish the punch all day for carp. There was a decent turnout including Roger Russell, Jamie Parkhouse, Heardy, Bruce Hunt and Scotty who is on a roll here at the moment. I wanted a peg where I …
