This weekend the Sunday open at Hillview was split over canals 2, 3 and 4. I wanted anywhere but canal 2 as this pool has a reputation for switching off in the latter half of the match. So into the draw bag my hand went and I pulled out peg 56, On the 2nd canal!! But all was not lost. Even though it was going … Continue reading Section win, Hillview Sunday Open – 100lb 8oz

This Sunday it was back to Hillview for the open split over Moorhen and the 1st and 2nd canals. I wanted to avoid canal 2 as sometimes it can just switch off during the later part of the match.

This week I had an Evesham Jubilee AS club match on the House pool at Tunnel Barn Farm. I really was looking forward to this match but when I realised I was in Hyde Park, London, watching a Kylie Minogue concert the night before, meaning I got home at 2.00am, getting up a 6.30am to travel up to Tunnel Barn Farm was always going to … Continue reading Section win at Tunnel Barn Farm with 57lb 11oz

Weights haven’t been that good on this pool in recent days with only 50lb winning the match the day before but when peg 6 stuck to my hand in the draw bag I was hopeful of catching a few. So the plan of attack was to start on the … Continue reading 2nd Overall at Manor Farm Leisure, 38lb 2oz

I didn’t fancy peg 56 on the 2nd canal at Hillview as its … Continue reading Match win, Hillview Sunday Open, 117lb 4oz
I left Evesham Jubilee AS in 2017 where I was club secretary for 15 years and this was my return to fishing with them and it was good to see a few old faces on this match.

I … Continue reading 2nd placed at Tunnel Barn Farm on the Extension pool, 57lb 10oz
It was back to Manor Farm Leisure this Saturday for Harry’s match with 24 anglers split over the Island and Middle pools.

Milder weather greeted us for the 3rd round of the Tirley Court, Orchard pool individual winter league.
