2nd overall on first time visit to Alveschurch fisheries – 26lb 2oz


Somewhere different today. I got a call in the week to guest on an Excel AC match at Alveschurch Fisheries.

Hillview

2nd overall and a section win at Hillview Sunday Open, 69lb 4oz


I’ve not been fishing much lately due to other commitments so I was looking forward to this match as the canals at Hillview generally fish well in the winter. 3 canals were in and I drew peg 71 on the 3rd canal, just where I wanted to be as the talk at the draw was this area had been fishing well. I planned a simple … Continue reading 2nd overall and a section win at Hillview Sunday Open, 69lb 4oz

Moaning Sods, Tirley Court

4th at Tirley Court, Orchard pool – 154lb 11oz


It was back to the Orchard pool at Tirley Court this week for a small Club match, not been here for some time.

The Orchard pool … Continue reading 4th at Tirley Court, Orchard pool – 154lb 11oz

Hillview

3rd overall at Hillview Sunday Open with 138lb 13oz


This Sunday the Hillview open was on the 3rd and 4th Canals. It was a hot one with the temperatures forecasted to nudge 30 degrees, so armed with plenty of sun cream and the brolly if it got to hot, off I went. But would the fish feed in the hot conditions? I was looking forward to this match as I hadn’t fished the canals … Continue reading 3rd overall at Hillview Sunday Open with 138lb 13oz

With the weather forecast not looking good for Sunday I choose the Saturday for this weeks fishing fix. Hillview normally use the big lakes on a Saturday and I fancied it this week.
