Summerhayes – Open – 4th September 2016
Something a little different this week as when I phoned Pete to book in, he said the match would be a rover on all ponds. I picked Janders up and then we met Harry who also wanted to fish today. As we pulled into the car park at the venue there were already a fair few vehicles there and it was nice to see …
Summerhayes – Open – 21st August 2016
It was back to Summerhayes this week but the day didn’t get off to the best of starts when I received a text from the Torquay Tart saying ‘It’s whooping time!’ which put me on a downer as I thought he’d taken up golf or left the country or something! He went on the say that he’s on fire now, a big …
Summerhayes – Open – 26th June 2016
A shorter than usual blog this week (hooray I hear you say) as I’m off to Thailand for three weeks tomorrow and I still have packing to do! I also thought I’d try out a slightly new format for the match report, let me know what you think. The draw On arriving, Glynn Wickham said the match had been switched from Sellicks …
Summerhayes – Open – 12th June 2016
No Janders this week as he’s on his holidays down in Cornwall, I pulled into the fishery car park and judging by the number of vehicles I knew we wouldn’t just be on Sellicks today. One of the first people I bumped into was Glynn Wickham who said instead of Lily, the overflow would be on Willow today and everybody was expecting the …
Summerhayes – Open – 29th May 2016
When I phoned Pete to book in during the week, I’d forgotten to ask which lake we’d be on, I picked Janders up and he said it was on Sellicks and possibly Lily, depending on numbers so obviously as we pulled into the car park I was hoping not to see too many vehicles! We collected a couple of nets before paying …
Summerhayes – Open – 8th May 2016
The weather was glorious as I loaded the car and headed for Bridgwater and things got even better when I arrived and Pete said as there were fifteen anglers fishing today, we’d all be on Sellicks, so no Lily today! There was a match on Longs as well and just before they started, one of the anglers came up and had a …
Summerhayes – Open – 2nd May 2016
On Longs today and the format was the same as yesterday with the top three silvers and carp anglers framing and the payout split down the middle between carp and silvers. I went into the draw bucket late again as it had worked okay in the last couple of matches and this time peg 31 was the result, it wouldn’t my first choice but …
Summerhayes – Open – 1st May 2016
A double header at Summerhayes for me this weekend as it was a Bank Holiday (well it would be rude not to!), Sellicks and Lily today and Longs tomorrow. I picked Janders up on my way and we were soon pulling into the car park, it was nice to Mike Hosgood (who comes from somewhere near Exeter I believe!) as I hadn’t seen …
Summerhayes – Open – 24th April 2016
After six matches on Longs, I knew Pete was putting us back on Sellicks for today and the silvers weights haven’t been great with Ray Wickham only needing two crucians for 4lb 11oz to win a few weeks back. When I pulled into the car park, one of the first people I met was Glynn who said the match was going to be …
Summerhayes – Open – 17th April 2016
After some decent results on my first three visits of the year, things have gone down the pan somewhat in the last two matches when I drew pegs 10 and 3. I was hoping I might get near a decent silvers area today but that was always going to be difficult with draw bag experts, Ray and Glynn Wickham fishing! After Pete …
