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 …
Summerhayes – Xmas Match – 23rd December 2012
With no match scheduled on the river this weekend I booked into the Xmas match at Summerhayes and driving over the river this morning, it was unfishable anyway. I got to the venue with half an hour to spare and sorted out my keepnets before paying my pools and saying hello to all the usual suspects. There was a really good turnout of …
Summerhayes – Open – 30th September 2012
After two weeks in paradise I was back at Summerhayes today, the match was on Longs and I was quite looking forward to it as I haven’t fished this lake for a while. Alex Murray was fishing today and he’s off to Gillhams fairly soon with his family – lucky bugger. I drew peg 18 which is a decent silvers peg and …
Summerhayes – Pairs Open – 9th September 2012
I was looking forward to this one as me and Andy won it last year but as there were some right stars fishing this time around it would be hard to repeat it. Pete pays the top three pairs in silvers and carp and it is a really good little match. There were 15 pairs booked in and among these were quite …
Summerhayes – Open – 2nd September 2012
After a good two days at Summerhayes over the Bank Holiday I was looking forward to going back again today. I picked Janders up and off we went, there was a big turnout again with 25 fishing which meant the match would be split over Lily and Sellicks lakes. There was a fair bit of grumbling because, although Lily can compete on …
