Okay, so I haven’t been on here for a while and I’m sorry for the delay. But if I’m honest, I’ve had my exams, my eagerly awaited England trials and I’ve also been working so I can get some coin together and buy some new gear!!For these reasons I’m going to keep this blog nice and short so don’t be expecting a too detailed account of my most recent adventures. Too be honest i can’t...
So the day after the UK Pole Champs saw a bright and early start at 5 o’clock! I was already knackered from the day before so I knew it would be a long old slug today! I knew for one thing I didn’t want to draw on the racetrack as it was peggy as hell, but one thing I was up for was to catch a catfish which happen to be residents in this lake. Last year on the same match I drew the racetrack but...
Right, here I am again writing up yet again another review of one of my match fishing expeditions. I’m enjoying writing for you all but I’m afraid I will have to keep this one short as I’ve got another to write up after this and I still haven’t done any revision this week!! Well, Saturday May 17th was this years date for the annual UK Pole Champs, this year it followed tradition and was yet...
So bank holiday Monday, otherwise known as ‘Mayday’ saw me trek up to Swindon for the annual Millennium trophy event held at Peatmoor lagoon. Last year I managed to win the match with 14 bream on the feeder for 38lb and I didn’t plan to do anything different this year. It’s also a good event to have a catch up with all the lads as I hadn’t seen any of them since White Acres. A nice early...
Well after a couple of weeks break after Frant a good double header weekend was definitely in order. This weekend saw a bank holiday Monday and this bank holiday Monday was always dedicated to a Farnborough Junior match, however, the day prior I was at Hartleylands farm for the first round of Paul Chatfield’s brilliantly organised summer league.It was a blazing hot day and everyone was well and...
Well, the first time after fishing white acres was the week after this was the 12th of April. I was fishing a silverfish league to be hosted at the excellent Frant lakes in Kent. It’s known for its dominant carp presence, but also is known for its massive head of skimmers. There were three lakes in, Sunken Island, Stumps and Skirmish. The Peg and My Methods I drew on sunken island, which peg...
The first weekend of my Easter holidays saw me down in Newquay for the annual Drennan Team England junior festival. It had been run for the previous three years and this was my fourth and final year to fish it. In the three previous years I’d never been outside of the top ten; coming seventh twice and fifth once. As one of the oldest and most experienced anglers their this year I saw it as my chance...
Sunday the 30th march saw the last round of the excellent Shimano Arun Silver Fish League. My team Preston Innovations Delcac (the ‘B’ side) were currently lying second by around 7 points, and the ‘A team’ were only one point behind us so the gap could easily be closed and we could seal ourselves a victory. We were all told we were going to be on the snake lake and I knew it...
