Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 6th May 2023
After fishing four matches in as many days a couple of weeks back, for my latest fishy extravaganza I’m taking it a step further and doing five, wish me luck! As I write this I just got home from match day three and if I’m honest, I’m struggling a bit to keep up with the reports, so they might be a little …
Summerhayes – Open – 1st May 2023
To finish off the long weekend we were back at Summerhayes and back on Sellicks which is my favourite lake. Nick very kindly provided the bacon sarnies in the morning and wouldn’t accept any payment so we bunged a few more quid in the charity pot. Eighteen fishing today, the golden peg was number 12 and when my name was called out, …
Summerhayes – Open – 30th April 2023
It was back to Summerhayes on Sunday but Longs this time, breakfast was at the bowling club and always starts the day off right. At the fishery, parking was at a premium with matches on both lakes. I drew peg 27 on the track side, a great area for silvers, Nick got the golden peg which was 18 on the bottom bank …
Summerhayes – Silvers Open – 29th April 2023
A triple header for the long weekend with all three matches at Summerhayes, starting with a silvers only open on Sellicks. After meeting Nick (who was going to Avalon today) and Zooner for breakfast, we drove the short distance to the fishery. Originally there were ten booked in but a couple dropped out, meaning the remaining eight would all have loads of …
Summerhayes – Open – 16th April 2023
A really long day yesterday, up at 5:45am to fish at Acorn, got home at 6:30pm, packed kit away, straight in the shower then to Stoke Sub Hamdon for the angling clubs presentation night at 7:30pm. It was a brilliant night with lots of laughs and a fantastic buffet was laid on, I actually went back up and filled my plate several …
Summerhayes – Open – 10th April 2023
Bank Holiday Monday and match number four as my fishing (and blogging) marathon approaches it’s climax. We were on Sellicks today which I was really looking forward to as it’s been fishing well, in the silvers only match on Saturday, Zooner had the top weight with a brilliant 22lb and there were back up weights of 20lb and 18lb. The forecast was …
Summerhayes – Open – 9th April 2023
Up early again, I was feeling surprisingly fresh for my third match in as many days and met the others for one of Charlotte’s lovely breakfasts at the bowling club. As we pulled into the fishery car park, it was rammed! There were 31 booked in for our match, plus a club fixture on Sellicks. Along with all the usual suspects, there …
Summerhayes – Open – 7th April 2023
I always try and fish a few matches over Easter but this year I’m attempting something I’m not sure I’ve ever done before and booked in for a match on all four days. Now knowing how knackered I am when I do two in a weekend, would this be a match (or two) too far! My fishing quadrilogy kicked off at Summerhayes …
Summerhayes – Open – 26th March 2023
Well, today didn’t get off to the best of starts! After a long day yesterday, I fell asleep in the chair and woke up at one ‘o’ clock in the morning (well actually 2:00 am after the clocks went forward), by the time I actually got to bed and went to sleep, it was gone 3:00 and my alarm was set for …
Summerhayes – Open – 19th March 2023
The second match of the weekend was on Longs at Summerhayes, we met at bowling club for breakfast first which was quite busy with lots of the Stoke lads off to Trinity for a pairs match. After we’d eaten we headed to Bridgwater, pulling into the car park, spaces were at a premium with twenty booked in for the open and there …
