Acorn Fishery – Open – 20th June 2026
Acorn on Saturday and Foxy asked me to draw for him (was he mad!) and I pulled out 19 which he didn’t look overly impressed with but there are worse pegs so I only earned a yellow card instead of …
Perry St Pond – Spring League 10 – 18th July 2010
The final match arrived and I was guaranteed a corner peg today, as was my nemesis Janders. He paid me the £5 side bet we had on the league as I was thirty points ahead of him – cheers John! He’d phoned me earlier in the week and we convinced each other we’d draw pegs 1 and 20 (crap) rather the fliers …
Summer League Table
Leighton Cox wanted me to put the Summer League table on here, the only way I could do it was by scanning it in and uploading it as a picture. Hope this is ok, if you click on the picture you can see it better.

Summerhayes – Evening Match – 15th July 2010
After two bad matches I thought I might as well make it three in a row and fish the Thursday evening match at Summerhayes. The weather was atrocious and with the match being on Sellicks where 14.5 metres minimum is a must on most pegs, it could be hard going. There were eight hardy anglers (or crazy fools) booked in including Scotty, …

Dillington Pond – Evening League – 14th July 2010
With only two matches left in the league I was hoping to stop the slide that has seen me drop from first place in the last match. The weather was overcast and it looked like it might rain and there was also a blustery wind. There were seven of us fishing and the pegging was pretty spread out, I drew peg 12, …
Private Pond – Summer League – 11th July 2010
For round five we were fishing a private pond and I couldn’t wait as there were supposed to be big roach, rudd, skimmers and tench and big weights were expected. The pond is primarily a carp venue and we decided to make it a silvers only match. There were thirteen of us at the draw and I pulled out peg 1 which …
Perry St Pond – Spring League 9 – 4th July 2010
First of all, sorry for the lateness of this weeks blog but I’ve just moved house and I never had any internet access and I’ve been climbing the walls! The penultimate round arrived and although I was out of the running in the league, I was still in line for a corner peg (as were 7 others). I stuck my hand in …

Dillington Pond – Evening League – 30th June 2010
The level was right down on the pond again but there were plenty of fish showing and I was determined to do better than the last evening match. There were only six of us fishing and I drew out peg 14 with Martin Heard on 12, I could see a carp and some bream up in the water to my left so …
Perry St Pond – Spring League 8 – 27th June 2010
Oh God, isn’t it ever hot? Today was blisteringly hot and supposed to be the hottest day of the year. I was still in with a chance of a corner peg but alas today wasn’t the day and I pulled out peg 16, which hasn’t got a lot of form but at least I’d have the shade of the trees. I had …
Summerhayes – Open – 20th June 2010
With nothing local on, I put my name down for an open at Summerhayes near Bridgwater. An 11 ‘o’ clock draw was very civilised and I was one of the first there, Pete has a nice set up and after paying pools and having a free coffee, I had a bacon sarnie to set me up for the day. More anglers started …
Dillington Pond – Evening League – 16th June 2010
Another lovely day and I was really looking forward to the evening fixture. On my arrival at the pond it was obvious that the farmer had been pumping water out and the level was a good few feet down. There were only five of us fishing and when I drew peg 5 and saw I was all on my own up that …
