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 …

Summerhayes – Open – 27th August 2012
After yesterday where Long’s fished pretty hard, it would be interesting to see how Sellicks fished today. There were only 12 of us today which would probably help as both ponds don’t seem to fish so well with nearly every peg in. Brendon and Glynn were both there and out for revenge after yesterday and we had another silvers winner takes all …

Summerhayes – Open – 26th August 2012
I was really looking forward to getting back on Longs as I haven’t fished it for a while, after picking up Janders we arrived quite early and already there were loads of anglers there (in fact 31 had booked in for today!). All the usual faces were there plus quite a few I hadn’t seen before. We paid our pools and had …

Summerhayes – Open – 12th August 2012
I was really looking forward to getting back to Summerhayes and hopefully a nice days skimmer fishing. But with 29 fishing, Pete had decided to use Sellicks and Lily and I was desperate to avoid Lily as a good weight of silvers on there is 10lb and that won’t normally be enough to compete against Sellicks. I’d picked Janders up and when …

Summerhayes – Open – 1st August 2012
As I’ve got the week off, I booked into the match on Sellicks today, Brendon was also fishing and had been texting me loads about how he was going to whoop my ass again (I’m starting to get a bit worried about his fixation with my ass!). The forecast wasn’t great today with fairly strong winds and rain on the cards. There …

Summerhayes – Silverfish Festival Day 2 – 29th July 2012
I was up early again and on my way, everybody at the draw was saying they didn’t want to draw Lily lake as it would be won with a low weight and if anybody ties on points it goes to weight. Glyn Wickham and Brendon kept on that I would be on Lily and I was sincerely hoping that wouldn’t be the …
