On Saturday it was the Champion of Champions Silvers Final on Longs at Summerhayes, it’s one I really look forward to and would love to win but so far, fourth is my best finish. There were sixteen anglers fishing so …
I’d really enjoyed my last match on Longs a few weeks previous with lots of bites from small fish along with the odd better skimmer and some crucians so was looking forward to another go. The car park was busy …
On Saturday the ‘Ilminster Massive’ headed down to Todber for another silvers match on Ash. We had breakfast in the Lakeside Diner which wasn’t fully open the last time I was here and I have to say if was really …
After the first leg on the Parrett we were 11 points behind Stoke which put them in a great position and I thought it might be too big a deficit to claw back in the return fixture. The 26 anglers …

My team, Chard Remains, finished 7th (out of eight) on the first match and 3rd on the second match. I think overall we are languishing near the bottom, still it’s the first round of the knockout so maybe we can buck our …
Dillington Pond – The main species are roach, rudd, perch and chub. Other secies present are bream, tench, crucian carp and eels. Met at the Crown per usual, drew peg 2. When we got to the pond it was a lot lower than usual due to a farmer abstracting for his potatoes! As a consequence we were all sat in thick glutinous …

Hopefully as the blog progresses there will be some funny stories and tales of triumph and defeat and days that are just a complete disaster.My first entry will be …
