With the week off work I booked into the Mid-week open at Manor Farm Leisure. This week held on the island pool with 12 anglers fishing, so plenty of room.

This week I fished the Sunday open match at Hillview, Canals 3 and 4 were in this week but only 10 anglers booked in, probably due to other venues having winter leagues and festivals over the weekend.

Having used Garbolino poles for the last 25 years and trust them immensely. Plus knowing all my Top Kits would still fit the new pole, when is came to replacing my GMax C1 Power for my commercial fishing the choice was the easy. A new Garbolino UK pole. But which one? I couldn’t afford the mortgage for a UK1 !! So baring in mind my … Continue reading Why I’ve chosen the Garbolino UK3 Match Power plus over the UK4 Maxim

The prolific Pete’s pool at Tirley Court is a venue I always look forward to match fishing every year. It never disappoints! It’s not a commercial venue just a pool on a farm. But by-god it’s simply awesome. The fishing here is far superior to any commercial venue I know. Its just a large pool on a farm just south of Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire that … Continue reading 2nd placed on Pete’s pool, Tirley Court with 184lb

I’m very fortunate to have the Manor Farm Leisure complex here in Evesham right on my door step and what better way is there than to spend an evening, fishing the traditional waggler on the island pool after a hard day at work for a few hours on a perfectly calm summer evening. At only a fiver for an evening fishing this is daylight robbery. … Continue reading Summer evening pleasure fishing the Traditional Waggler for large carp with pellets.
I’ve been using these Guru SLWG Banded Ready Rigs for a couple of years now and I have total confidence in these expertly tied (better than I could do) Ready Rigs. Being in full time employment I simply don’t have the time to tie my own hook lengths for pole fishing and when these Ready Rigs came out it was like ‘manna from heaven’ for … Continue reading Guru SLWG Banded Ready Rigs
Last Sunday it was back to Woodland View for the Open. Another good attendance saw 34 anglers spread over Back Deans, Hay and Arles pools. I quite fancied Hay pool.

It’s a little walk to Hay and I’d … Continue reading Woodland View open, Hay pool peg 6 – 51lb 2nd in section.
