Perry St Pond – 4th April 2010
The weather was much better and there were even some blue patches in the sky and a big orange thing shining away! All I needed to do now was draw a corner peg! Les drew peg 10 and has now taken over Roy’s mantle as corner boy! I drew and opened my hand to reveal peg 11, a corner peg! I now …
Perry St Pond – 2nd April 2010
There was a full house for the annual Good Friday match but conditions were awful with freezing cold rain pelting down and lots of rain during the night as well might well make the fishing hard. I was still praying for a corner peg though as loads of carp had been moving in pegs 10 and 11. Les announced the draw and …
Perry St Pond – Spring League 1 – 28th March 2010
It was the first match of the ever popular Spring League and also my first visit for ages. I had heard it had been a little patchy because the weather was still so up and down but there were still carp to be caught and weights had been fairly reasonable. It was great to see loads of people I hadn’t seen since …
Chard Reservoir – 21st March 2010
After dusting my feeder rod and reel off, I headed for the resi, hoping some slabs might show. At the draw there was a decent turnout of 17 anglers and lots of faces I hadn’t seen for ages including Steve Bishop, Terry ‘Niblett’ Green and Dave Abrams. There was some ripple on the resi and some colour after loads of rain the …
River Isle – Crown Winter League – 14th March 2010
Well it was the last day of the river league and the final match in the Crown series, Martin and Malcolm were away so a good result could see me sneak the league. The sun was out and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky although the wind was a little keen. My mood was tempered slightly when Rob said we were …
River Isle – V.E.S. Precision League – 7th March 2010
I was really looking forward to the last V.E.S. match and even though we’d had two wicked frosts the two previous nights, I thought it would be a good match. How wrong could I be? read on to find out! Once again there were only nine of us fishing and there were some good pegs in. Rob had put 25 in and …
Dillington Pond – V.E.S. Precision League – 28th February 2010
The day of the penultimate V.E.S. Precision Winter League arrived and as soon as I drove over the river at Donyatt I knew we’d be on the pond. Still at least I should be able to catch to secure decent points for the league. On arrival at the Crown, I paid my pools to Pete who confirmed it was on the pond, …

River Isle – Crown Winter League – 21st February 2010
This will be a very short blog because there isn’t much to tell! Robin had put in some pretty good pegs with only eight of us fishing and of course everybody wanted to draw 125 but it goes without saying that Martin Heard drew it! I stuck my hand in the bucket and pulled out 72 (hellhole) which I wasn’t overly impressed …
River Isle – Open – 14th February 2010
I woke up to find we hadn’t had a frost and the temperature wasn’t too bad so hopefully we’d be in for a good day for once! At the draw there was a really poor turnout of only 12 anglers which I suppose reflects how poor the fishing has been. I was surprised that Rob hadn’t pegged 125 or peg 25, both …
River Isle – Crown Winter League – 7th February 2010
Heavy rain on Friday and I was worried it might be off (wish it was now! but more of that later), no more wet stuff and the river looked perfect when I went over it on my way to the draw with a tinge of colour and pace. Once again there were only ten of us and Robin had put some new …
