Summerhayes – Open – 20th August 2017
It was back to Summerhayes this week for the first time since June and looking at the latest results on Sellicks, the carp have been getting their heads down and proving to be a real nuisance for the silvers anglers. I picked Janders up and we made good time, as we pulled into the car park, the first person I saw was the Tart …
Summerhayes – Open – 11th June 2017
Before I get on to this weeks match, we had some awful news in the week when Dave Lawrence passed away after a short battle with that horrible disease cancer that affects so many of our lives. I fished with Dave for a long time, on the Isle, in the Drennan league and in more recent times we used to travel up …
Summerhayes – Open – 28th May 2017
This weeks match was on Sellicks and I was really hoping I could get away from the low numbers and draw a peg near the top or on the far bank, on arrival it was nice to see Paul Homewood for the first time in ages and several of the Torquay contingent were also in attendance although, thankfully, the Tart wasn’t one …
Summerhayes – Open – 7th May 2017
This weeks match was a rover on all ponds with the exception of Longs which was booked for a club match, so given that I hate Lily lake and have only fished Willow once, I would be a praying for a fairly early choice so I could pick one of the pegs on the far side of Sellicks, namely 15-21 although 11 or 13 have …
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 – 23rd April 2017
It was back to Summerhayes and back on Sellicks this Sunday, I was really hoping for a draw on the other side but when the bucket reached me there were only two pegs left and Gabe Skarba said he’d have the last peg so I went in and peg 5 wasn’t the result I’d hoped for and Gabe ended up on peg …
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 – 9th April 2017
After a really nice day at the Big One yesterday, I woke up to blue skies, the sun shining and it was looking like being a lovely day, I just needed to catch a few fish now. I picked Janders up and we reached the venue in plenty of time, we were just going to collect some nets when we could see …
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 – 19th March 2017
It was back to Summerhayes this week and Janders was coming along to fish his first match in ages, the match was on Sellicks and there have been some good silvers weights coming out. I was actually early picking him up and even had time for a bacon roll while we waited for the draw. Looking at the lake, the pegs on …
