Summerhayes – Open – 29th March 2026
Sunday it was back to Summerhayes and when I was called up to draw, I was fairly happy with peg 19 on the bottom bank after doing well on 17 last weekend. Fed the usual short lines, 10 metres and …
Summerhayes – Open – 15th July 2018
It was back on Sellicks this week and I was really looking forward to it, that was until my phone alerted me that I had a text message and when I looked, I saw the name that everybody dreads appear on the screen, The Torquay Tart was informing me he was fishing and bringing some of his ‘disciples’ (his words) with him. After …
Summerhayes – Open – 8th July 2018
The weather was still scorchio and this week’s match was on Longs where there have been some really good weights of silvers in recent matches. I stopped at the Little Thief for brekkie and had a nice chat with Ben Hagg who came in on his way to Chard resi. Pulling into the car park, the first person I saw was Jess Jordon …

Does Technology Have a Place in Angling?
Technology has permeated our way of life, and its impact is truly undeniable. It has, for instance, brought people far apart closer together via modern means of communication, like smartphones and the Internet. It has, and is, continuously improving healthcare, helping doctors and scientists find cures to illnesses previously thought as incurable. It is giving us the means to explore our world, …
Summerhayes – Open – 1st July 2018
I was at Summerhayes for the second match of the weekend and we were on Sellicks this week. As well as some of the regulars it was brilliant to see Paul Homewood who I hadn’t seen for ages, Ben Simmonds was also fishing again after winning on his first visit from peg 23 a few weeks back. Pete announced the draw and I …
Todber Manor – Open – 30th June 2018
A rare double-header for me this weekend, kicking off with Todber today, after two brilliant days fishing on my first couple of visits, I’d been itching to getting back to this excellent fishery again. I met Scotty and Ben Simmonds for breakfast at Cartgate before making our way there. As we pulled into the car park, it was pretty packed with another good turn …
Matthew Wright Interview
Hi Matthew, thank so much for agreeing to answer my questions, I was going to say ‘As I know you’re a busy man’ but you’ve just left ‘The Wright Stuff’ after 18 years, what are your plans now? Well, I’m definitely going to do more fishing! Aside from earning a living broadcasting, I’m eyeing up a nice radio gig as we speak, I’m going …
Perry St Pond – 24th June 2018
It was the last league match this week and I was standing in for Yardie, we all knew which pegs we’d be on and my home for the day would be peg 16. Not my favourite area if I’m honest although Picky had done well off it in the last match. After another excellent Millfield café brekkie, we all headed out the pond, …
Summerhayes – Open – 17th June 2018
I’d really enjoyed the last two matches here so booked in for this weeks open on Longs. A quick stop at the Little Thief and then I was on my way. I pulled into the carpark and as well as all the regulars, it was great to see Phil ‘Digger’ Denslow who I haven’t seen for yonks! I got a couple of nets paid my …
Perry St Pond – 10th June 2018
I thought I was standing in for Chilly this week but when I got to the café, Les said I was fishing for Grandad Young instead and I wasn’t overly impressed when somebody told me I’d either be on peg 1 or 17 today. When Les opened the draw sequence envelope, I was on peg 1 – great! It’s a peg I …
Finygo App Review
I downloaded this app quite a while ago and if I’m honest I hadn’t got around to doing much with it, I’d published a review of another product and mentioned that there are loads of reviews on the blog when a very nice lady from Finygo contacted me and asked if I’d review the app. Of course I said yes and started having …
