Summerhayes – Open – 21st August 2016

It was back to Summerhayes this week but the day didn’t get off to the best of starts when I received a text from the Torquay Tart saying ‘It’s whooping time!’ which put me on a downer as I thought he’d taken up golf or left the country or something! He went on the say that he’s on fire now, a big

Dillington Pond – Summer League 8 – 14th August 2016

We were meeting out the pond today so I got up early for a change and stopped off at Burger King to get a coffee and a sausage and egg muffin thingy which I have to say wasn’t great! There were sixteen anglers booked in for today as the pond’s popularity continues to grow, even the Langport Invader, Baz Morgan, had joined

Hebditch’s Pond – 7th August 2016

After the junior match the other week where the winning weight was over 100lb in three hours, everybody was well up for this one and all the talk was of 200lb weights and needing five keepnets. I wasn’t so sure and still thought 100lb would be a good weight in six hours as there were only five juniors fishing that day and we had

Bait-Tech Apron Towel Review

Now a towel isn’t the most exciting bit of kit I’ve ever reviewed and it certainly won’t catch you any more fish but it is one of those things that you don’t miss until you haven’t got one!From wiping your hands after mixing your Pro Natural groundbait to keeping them dry and slime free before eating your sandwiches, it’s always useful to have a towel in your

Dillington Pond – Summer League 7 – 31st July 2016

After drawing peg 4 in the last two matches, I was hoping for a change of scenery today (although not 24 either as I’ve been on that one twice as well!), I got to the pub fairly early and there was another decent turnout of thirteen anglers. Rob announced the draw and both Ash and me hung back hoping somebody else would pull

A Decade On And Still Going Strong

Well this July marks 10 years of blog writing for me and I can’t quite believe it’s been that long! I’ve always kept angling diaries/log books and the blog was just an extension of that, I had no grand master plan for the blog (and if I had my time again, I’d probably have called it something else!) but I still really enjoy

River Isle – 24th July 2016

With nothing on this week, a few of us decided to have a little knock up on the lower end of the river, as per usual I was running late and by the time I got to Isle Brewers the draw had been done and Rob told me I was on peg 126a, not my favourite peg but it’s usually worth a few fish.

Dillington Pond – Summer League 6 – 17th July 2016

With being away, I missed the last match which Fieldy won with a fantastic 38lb caught on the short pole, Graham had six bream plus loads of roach, a lovely net of fish. The draw was at the pond today and as I arrived there were already a fair few cars there, Rob had a family function which meant Hurf was in

Teak Tree Lake, Thailand – 6th July to 15th July 2016

Since my first visit to Thailand in 2010 with Scott and Ashley when I fell in love with the country and course the amazing fishing on offer, I’ve been back nearly every year and in some cases, twice a year. I’d only ever been to Krabi, Ao Nang and Phang Na in the south and spent two days in Bangkok on my
