Friday saw me at Mawgan Porth for another crack at this fantastic fishery. Just trying to cram as many matches in as possible at the moment, midweek matches tend to tail off a bit from...
Looks like my life as a match organiser at Oakside fisheries is going to be short lived. Three turned up last week, followed by two this week! Even though I could get in the top three...
Business was slow and a chat with Harry convinced me that I really should go to Mawgan Porth for the Friday open! I was supposed to pick him up at 9.15 but was late as I had a load...
A match had been arranged on Oakside on Tuesday as initially there were a few anglers that wanted to fish. Monday night I had a couple of cancellations but I still had to go to the...
On Tuesday I fished a hastily arranged sweep at Oakside. There were only a few of us fishing and we decided to try the shallow side. This was good news for me as I had not fished this...
Unfortunately Devon couldn’t field a full team for the latest Inter Counties match due to various reasons, none of which were due to the fact that they lost the last one at home!...
Kernow Match Group were holding a match at Nance Fisheries on Saturday, word was that it hadn’t been matched fished for years. I am really keen at the moment to try out new venues...
With the tanker driver dispute over and liquid gold in the form of diesel returning to the South West, I decided to have another go at Stafford Moor. I had to travel on my own as Harry...
I was 24th reserve for the White Acres Fishomania but was quietly confident of getting a place as there had been a few no shows at some of the other events. I was in some good company...
Saturday saw us travel to Sunny Devon to compete in the Inter Counties match at Milemead fishery in Tavistock. This series is the brainchild of John Forster and initially it was to...
The house phone rang at 07.30 am and I dashed to answer it before the whole house was woken. It was Jan from Mawgan Porth telling me that today’s match had been cancelled due to lack...
Check out this new side-line rolling swivel from Cralusso its brilliant! I use it in conjunction with the pellet waggler and the straight lead. It incorporates a swivel and a quick...
Tuesday saw us travel to Mawgan Porth for the first of another two days at the venue. I have to say the drive to this picturesque little fishery has to be one of the nicest in the UK...
Seduced by the thought of 200lb plus weights of small carp it was time to revisit Mawgan Porth race track, sorry fishery! We booked in for the Tuesday and Wednesday matches at this...
Saturday saw Harry and I at White Acres for the Angling Times, Maver Pairs match. The match was fully booked with a very strong field including star pairings of Will Raison and Ben...
Walkabout Wednesday saw Harry and I joined by Billy Arch, for a trip up the A30 to Stafford Moor for some more Fish and Chips! The journey went without incident. Or so I thought, when...
Anti-Tangle Waggler AttachmentsI have been using these waggler attachments for the last 12 months and have found them to be a very good product. They do exactly what they say on the...
The last time I fished Gwinear Specimen Lake for silvers was back in January and it was brilliant! Then you needed 40lb plus to do any good. I was really looking forward to giving it...

With still everything to fish for everyone is still buzzing at the draw. At 9.15 the entrance to the clubhouse is packed out with anglers looking at yesterday’s results and reliving...
It was easy to spot the anglers who were at White Acres for their second week at the draw queue. They were the ones that looked dog tired as they had just finished a week of intense...
Day three - Gwinear. Well, I went to bed Tuesday dreaming of peg 31 at Gwinear as I really fancied the peg. Would you believe it, I actually drew peg 31! There was one big problem,...
Day One – A section, Match Lake. If I had the perfect start on the Van Den Eydne with a section win, the start on this festival was an unmitigated disaster! I drew peg 31 just off...
