Summerhayes – Open – 28th April 2013
I was looking forward to getting back to Summerhayes today although both Sellicks and Lily lakes were in and I was hoping I didn’t draw Lily. I picked Janders up and on arriving the car park was rather full with a match on Longs as well. All the usual faces were there plus Somerset Angling’s Steve Kedge. With 21 anglers fishing today …
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 …
Summerhayes – Open – 7th April 2013
I was looking forward to getting back on Longs today and hopefully having a nice days skimmer fishing, the forecast wasn’t as good as yesterday but still better than what we’ve been used to of late. I picked Janders up and on arriving at the fishery there were a fair few cars already there and it looked like Pete had a fair few …
Summerhayes – Festival Day 2 – 1st April 2013
Going into day two I was feeling quite nervous as I needed to do really well today to stand any chance of a top three finish (although I found out later that Pete was paying the top six overall for silvers and carp!). No sun today and it was overcast and that biting easterly wind was still doing it’s best to chill …
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 – 27th March 2013
Today was part one of my fish fest (four matches in six days) and as I was loading the car, I was pleasantly surprised with the air temperature. Although chilly, it was nowhere as bad as it was on Sunday when it was so cold it was painful. The match today was to be a rover, where you get to pick your own …
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 – 10th March 2013
With the temperature on the mild side during the week I was really looking forward to a days skimmer fishing but then I contracted the lurgy and felt awful and on Friday I couldn’t see me fishing this weekend. I felt a bit better waking up this morning and we hadn’t had a frost so it was all systems go for skimmers. 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 …
