Shallow Success!
Shallow Success!

Sorry about the delay folks, it’s just that the matches have been coming thick and fast just of late, with the big one, the Sheffield Star Green ‘Un semi final being the main event and requiring quite a lot of preparation. This has seen me dividing my time between the waterside and the garage, as well as keeping the missus happy! Anyway, I’m back in the fold now, so over my next couple of blogs... 

A Trip To The Dentist…
A Trip To The Dentist…

I’ve just returned from a trip to the dentists, where a clean bill of health for another six months was tempered slightly by the ominous warning that there was quite a lot of wear on my front teeth, making some veneers necessary in the not too distant future. “You must have done an awful lot of grinding your teeth over the years,” said the dentist. “Spending too much time watching Sheff United... 

Tale From The Commercial Bank
Tale From The Commercial Bank

Heyup folks, Wraggy here again, with another ‘tale from the commercial bank’. I know it use to be riverbank but times change, unlike the weather at the moment! Just been up to me brothers house & he’s got two or three inches of snow on his garden! Yet last week we were catching shallow over sprayed pellet! Its no wonder the fishing is a bit haphazard to say the least. Every Sunday at Bank... 

First Ton Of The Year!
First Ton Of The Year!

Only two matches to report this week guys, but plenty of talking points in them, so here goes. Mandy & me had had a full week of stuff to do and places to be, so come the weekend I was chomping at the bit ready for a days fishing. The Frecheville AC lads who run the weekly open matches on KJS Fisheries canal lake occasionally run open matches on other venues in the area, such as Riverside near... 

The ‘Million Bites Week’
The ‘Million Bites Week’

Hmm. The ‘million bites week’ didn’t exactly go to plan! It was more like a ‘what went wrong week’, but there was a silver lining to the cloud that descended over the Wraggy household by Saturday night, so it was a case of alls well that ends well in the end. Right, enough of the clichés, let me tell you about my mixed fortunes for the week. Before I go any further, can I send my apologies... 

From Barracuda to Bank End!
From Barracuda to Bank End!

Heyup folks, Wraggy here reporting for duty fresh from two stunning weeks in Mexico! Best holiday I’ve ever had, hot weather for the missus, good food, and I even managed to sneak a bit of fishing in from some huge sand bags on the beach. Apparently Hurricane Katrina swept through the area last year and the sand bags were used to reinforce the defences, and they provided an ideal spot to fish from! You... 

Windy Days!
Windy Days!

The weather has put paid to a few of the matches I was intending to fish of late, but with a holiday to Mexico looming Mandy gave me the green light to do a bit of last minute ‘cramming’, get as much fishing in as possible while she did the last bits and bobs for the hols. It didn’t quite work out like that though, with postponements and cancellations, again due to the weather, so I thought I’d...
