Saturday saw us at Colemans Cottage for the first round of the Drennan Super League. This is our first foray into this level of fishing and with 5 other quality teams I knew it would be another steep learning curve for the team. With that in mind I’d been down the last two weekends and after sussing the place out on my first trip with Calvin winning and then weighing 129lb for third overall on my...
Well what a fantastic weeks fishing I’ve just had. I fished three matches won 2 of them and came third in the other and picked up a few quid along the way. In all three matches I’ve had over a ton. Now that’s what I call fishing. Tuesday was the monthly club match on Tylers Common in Essex. With 24 booked in it was going to be a nice match on Horseshoe with a bit of room. I had a walk with Calvin...
With the Drennan Super league approaching fast and the first round at Colemans Cottage I rang up on Monday to book me and my team mate Calvin Lawson in on the Saturday match. It’s a strange way they work the booking in and one I was not used to. You ring up and tell the answering machine you want to fish and if theres a problem they get back to you. As we were traveling 60 miles I wanted a bit of...
Round three of the Summer League was at Gold Valley which most people will know is one of the top match waters in the South East. With the match in mind I managed to get in on the Garbolino match on the Friday for a bit of a practice session. I wont bore you with the details but it fished rubbish and I was soon on the phone on the way home telling people to order casters and worms and to be prepared...
With round two of the Summer League at Mushroom Farm (aka Falkenville) in Hailsham, Sussex I spent the week preparing rigs. The problem with this venue is that the five sections are on four different lakes. The Main Lake is mainly paste and pellet and this is where I wanted to be as last year I won the round with 174lb. There is a also a little snake lake and then the wider New Lake which is pellet...
A week in Spain prior to the Dynamite Baits Festival at Whiteacres was all very nice but if there is one thing you need to be at these festivals it is prepared and ready for action. If I am brutally honest I was not properly prepared and my fishing suffered. What also didn’t help was on the last night in Spain I got food poisoning so when I got back to the U.K. on Friday all I wanted to do was sleep....
With the Dynamite Baits festival fast approaching I have been spending much of my spare time sorting out kit, rigs and the numerous other things that go with getting ready for a festival. As well at that I seem to have been spending an awful lot of time sorting out the team and making sure everything is running smoothly. That said a couple of things have not gone according to plan recently, one of...
With no team commitments over the bank holiday weekend and strict instructions that I was only allowed out on Sunday due to family I’d decided that I would go to Stubpond. I hadn’t been there for a while and I wanted to meet a new angler by the name of Andy Walker who had contacted me and was interested in team fishing. It would be an opportunity to see him in action on what can be a particularly...
Having been introduced to the website by Stewy Lister and then speaking to Tom I am pleased to have joined what is a quality team of anglers and I feel I am going to have to pull my finger out. I will state now I am no superstar and see myself as a steady points scorer in team matches. I love team fishing and that is mostly what I will be talking about here. You wont be getting me writing about my...
