Hebditch’s Pond – Ruthie’s Cup – 10th May 2023
For match day five, it was the first round of Ruthie’s Cup at Hebditch’s Pond. Fished for the first time last year, Ruthie’s Cup is a series of matches in memory of The Grand Wiz’s daughter who was cruelly taken far too early by cancer. With a trophy very kindly donated by Steve Chant, it was keenly contested with Chris Norton crowned …
Acorn Fishery – Costcutter – 9th May 2023
Match day four and it’s my birthday (I know, I know, hard paper round!), I always try and fish a match and this year I booked into the costcutter at Acorn. After an early start I stopped at the burger van for breakfast which was lovely and then onto the fishery. I picked up some bait, paid my pools and waited for …
Summerhayes – Open – 8th May 2023
Match day three saw me and Nick back at Summerhayes, we went to the Obridge in Taunton for breakfast and it was really good. The match was scheduled to be on Longs again today but Zooner had phoned me yesterday to say it had fished really hard and Pete had moved it to Sellicks which was good news. Another great turnout of …

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 …
Revels Fishery – 23rd March 2023
Only one outing this weekend, a Stoke match at Revels, quite a few of us met at the Airfield Tavern for breakfast and as per usual, the food was nice and the banter was top notch, the best way to start Sundays. Arriving at the fishery, the car park was already nearly full with twenty two booked in for this one, a …
