Sedges evening match

Not fished here for a while since the silvers series in winter and with acorn finished thought why not the match was scheduled for tile lake and the day before on the open most caught a load.

So plan was pellet shallow on the pole as still learning the game and nothing else so set up 3 shallow rigs pellet wag and bomb just in case but never touched it was tempted a few times but instead just slapped it harder 😜😜anyway 26 was my home Steve kedge to my right and Neil vening to my left could see Paul squire in the distance 

Ledgend !!!! 😜 so anyway with a few fish swimming short started at 8m slap slap slap FISh on !!!!! Had a good half hour there before they disappeared so moved out to 14.5 had a good middle of the match putting a few in the net and then bites seemed to take an eternity but stuck it out till the end . Fished 0.17 mainline 0.15 bottom 8mm over 6ss on a 14 guru slwg to a a 4x10 des shallow float. Really enjoyed the evening and didn’t even use a plummet 😜😜😜
Bashed up by the yocals and owner 😂😂😂did manage a nugget off cerri Maddox tho 😎😎all friendly lads down there and full of fish 🐋 Hopefully get a pass for next week thanks for reading 👍👍👍

Bit of all sorts!!!!

Sorry for not blogging too much lately I thought I’d give u all a rest !!😂😂 truth is I been flat out at work rushing from job to bloody job and squeezing in fishing where are I can and having some time with the family. Any way first up was the last match of the acorn evening matches only 10 for this god knows why as it’s awesome down there think the match can be won from anywhere really and I was just getting warmed up down there 😜😜!!! Anyway good bit of banter with matt roden and walshy and a few others then in to the draw and I drew 18 on the back straight 

 idn’t really fancy it but I stayed positive and stuck to the plan caster shallow at top set plus 3 and pellet over pellet down the 2 edges. At the all in slam dunked some pellets down the edges and started pinging in the casters like a machine 💪💪 quick go down the left had a quick fish and then lost a foul hooker and there were signs on the caster so went for it really stayed on it most of the match fishing 4 inches deep putting a few fish in the net not fast and furious just little spells of 2 or 3 fish then had to wait for the next spell really I do enjoy fishing this method. Vic bush to my right seemed to be getting one a bung down his edge and thought he would definitely beat me and talk was everyone was catching a few! I just kept my head down and persisted with it!!! At the weigh in it was a close match and I went over in one of me nets quite difficult when it’s 40 pound limit !!!
That was that 2nd again but enjoyed the night never the less took a few nuggets off the lads and finally had to give walshy one back 😂😂 thanks to dan at Cadbury and acorn fishery for letting us fish I vote keep going next year till it’s too dark !!!! 

Onto the next one uk champs at hayfield lakes in Doncaster rnd 3 was looking forward to going to this northern Mecca off a fishery 3 and half hour drive mind 200 miles roughly but hey ho didn’t really know where I wanted to draw but would’ve been happy with island chuck !! But never had one drew 58 on Danny’s island lake where fisho was held a few days before and I was 4 pegs from where Andy power was if that helps anyone 

Basically an all out pellet approach with some speacial g paste for the conker I was sandwiched between Stuart lister and dan white and to be honest I’ve had a mare all match I’ve started short with pellets on the deck catching a couple of bream and Stuart to my left having carp then dan to my right has gone long shallow catching well so I followed suit but I was only getting the odd fish and they were small and I’ve struggled all day really last hour and half I’ve gone down edge foul hooked one lost it then nothing else there so just stayed shallow last hour at 14.5m ended catching a couple but way off dans pace !!!! Think I ended up with 30 something only beating 2 in my section 😢😢😢 never mind it was good experience and definitely learnt a few things dan won the section with 91 pound I think and Stewart had 40 something to my left so must try harder !!!on to the next won

Golden reel at larford fancied a draw on the specie lake or the first 10 match lake pegs but drew 68 on specie on arrival the peg had a really steep bank behind me but there was cruising fish everywhere and they weren’t small 🐋 !!! On plumbing up all in front of me short was really snaggy !!! So plan was start on pellet shallow at 14.5m first 3 slaps and it’s buried but soon came off next gonand another one on landed that one tho 😎😎 then again but this time was skimmer then it died and the struggle began I’ve thrashed the pellet wag for a couple of hours only having 2 carp tried the bomb over it for nothing and even chucked the method really long but nothing I cupped a load of gb in at 14.5m slightly to the right away from my shallow line and started catching a few skimmers on the corn but all the time I’d been pinging pellets over my shallow line and into the last hour now and I seen a boil on the pellets so out I went slap slap slap fish on had a few on it last hour but not enough !!! 61 pound for knowhere again didn’t hang about for section results probably grim reading 😂😂 never mind still a nice day !!!! I only got one more big match this year at the minute that is barston for final rnd of uk champs can’t wait to get back up there hope for a flyer 🤞🤞🤞. Also me and some mates been having some Monday night knock ups at Ambleside or Jurassic Park as I like to call been doing pants at that too but good crack with the lads 

That was larford!!! 😂

That was somewhere 😂😂 around 30lb on the middy m2 with 30 elastic on single corn 😂😂

Summerlane eve sweep rnd 6 😬😬

Going in to this match I was top of the league but it was close behind with Thorney one point behind and Chris zsacks just behind him. 
This was before the match as u can see I was raring to go 😂😂 that’s Wayne staples in the back ground with his mrs top on 😜 anyway a good draw was needed fancied 6 7 or 8 and was not dissatisfied when 2nd from last I pulled peg 7 it’s a good area with usually a few skimmers around !!!! Plan was worm over gb at 13 m expander over micros same range but at 2 o clock and a meat line as left over from viaduct the meat line I fed heavy to attract carp really hopefully keep them away from my other lines I only looked on it ones to no avail. At the all in I fed my lines and chucked the method out for 30 mins had a few liners missed one then had one on only for it to come off at the net 😡😡😡 Thorney went off like a rocket on 10 but he wasn’t in my section so didn’t really care so pole time now could see fizzing on the Gb now small bit of worm on the hook with a white caster and it buried straight away small skimmer lovely then a bootlace and then started bumping fish but think it was scatty roach😱😱but then I got my head down and started to get the odd skimmer to two pound lovely I kept holding them up for my Australian pal Sam gooday Johnson over on 2 who was in my section 😂😂 just to let him know 😎😎 anyway it wasn’t hectic just the odd fish till the end really I just hoped I done enough for the section 🤞🤞 Sam had 9 pound in peg 2 Ron had 3 pound in peg 4 and James red stone (20pounder) didn’t bother troubling the scales so as it turned out I pissed the section and match with 15.2 of skimmers 3 eels and a roach I hooked 3 carp throughout the evening so not too bad !!!!
Really enjoyed the series this year had some good draws but still gotta catch them we’ve had some wicked banter throughout with a great bunch of lads luckily enough I’ve finally won this series as I’ve been very close for the last 3 years and that man Thorney usually pips me at the final hurdle 😳😳🤪🤪but not this time !!!!! 
Big thanks to fishing tackle warehouse sonubaits and fox/matrix for sponsoring the event means a lot to us all everyone in the series picked up a prize 👍👍👍


Really enjoying my fishing at the minute win or lose and that’s what it’s all about 👍👍 if anyone wants to do this series next year u have to buy a club tab which is 35£ a year so that’s basically peg fee for 6 matches and series is a £10 and £10 pools each match with optional golden peg which didn’t get won so is goin towards prizes for Xmas match !!! Thanks for reading the Weston club has a good following now and the matches are great 👍 

Psv viaduct Campbell

Well booked on this yesterday afternoon after getting thumbs up off the boss 👍👍 I fancied 129 to 132 or 110 to 115 really into the draw 119 corner peg but wrong corner I thought!!!! 


Told myself before the match I’m gonna keep it simple but being the calamity that I am set up bomb rod pellet wag edge rig down to corner meat short pellet long deck and shallow after a few mins on the bomb that was boring could see fizzing long deck rig tried it but just liners and skimmer what fell off 😡😡 out with the shallow rig to no avail slapping the granny out of it which is a bit foreign to me but I’m getting it slowly 🤪🤪🤪🤪!!!! Really struggling old happy bollox next door lee Waller was having a mare with foul hookers and what not !!!! But was beating me !! Had a look down edge took a 4 pounders but then nothing so went on bomb had 1 and then nothing😱😱😱 ratted out by small roach and odd skimmers on the meat line so here’s my chance to get going at this slapping game got my head down and went for it started catching a few 😎 like I been doing it years 😂😂😂 had little spells of 2 or 3 fish varying from 3 pound to 13lb mugged a few also smashed a top kit lost rig elastic hole sha bang on another top kit 😱😱proper calamity!!! Happiness packed up early and I managed a few more but thought I had around 80 pound probably for knowhere 😬😬😬 when the scales reached me I tipped 111.06 lb more than I thought !! I asked what’s winning so far he said me bargain but with the whole other side to weigh didn’t think I would get anything but the section but I just sneaked in behind Alan Healy who was 2nd with117 pound and big Ryan who won with 150 odd think if I wasn’t such a calamity today I shoulda woulda coulda had more but if buts and maybes I’ve had a nice day got me money back plus a bit and 3rd on the day keep on framing 😂😂 thanks for reading summerlane finale tomorrow head to head me And the bagger Thorne for the prestige title 😂😂😂!!!!   Il prob mess that up too !!!!! Hope everyone’s had a good weekend #its coming home 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Summerhayes summerlane acorn 3in1

First up I been so busy and not really had time to write a blog. Anyway I booked on to summerhayes  short notice with the psv club who were on longs lake I’d quite fancied a visit as not been in a couple of years so I was in managed to get pagey and Simon on aswell. Had a few side bets lined up Adam Ryan Chris zsacks Alan Healy Simon and pagey wanted his fiver back so it was all to play for into the draw I pulled 2 out pagey said il have ine so he grabbed one then I asked if he wanted to swap so he did then we opened I had 32 he had 4 he wasn’t happy I’ve never drew that bank so wasn’t sure what to expect on arrival I was faced with 16m across and a bit over grown down edges with an empty peg either side I decided to chuck method around for an hour which was ok having 8 small carp in the first hour then losing a couple it died I’d fed some go and been pinging casters over it down the middle had 1 on it straight away then nothing kept trying my edges to no avail then it just proper died on all lines un deterred I upped the amount of caster I was throwing in and more regular ready for last two hours was just seeing signs of a few fish there and then it absolutely peed down for a good hour in that hour I caught nothing again😢😢😢 it absolutely killed my caster shallow line so went down edges nothing finished off with 3 or 4 on the caster shallow I think if it hadn’t of rained I would of had a solid 2 hours but it just wasn’t to be 😳😳😢😢 whole lake had fished hard by the sound of things and the truth was told at the weigh in there was 2 weights of 40 odd pound a few 30s then me 29 pound what a strange day 🤔🤔🤔 was expecting to empty it as were most 
Never mind I paid my pounds out collected my diver off pagey and poundoff Simon and Adam !!!!

Onto the penultimate rnd of summerlane evening sweeps over all weight so a flyer was needed as I was sat joint top with Thorney and I wasn’t disappointed drew peg 1 

Plan was method to reeds and pole 12m down the left edge first hour went on tip only landing one small carp was just hoping my edge came good which thankfully it did as Thorney was on flyer 18 new I needed a few had a steady last 2 hours putting odd carp in the net a good skimmer and eel.
Walked the section and match with 61 pound but Thorney got second in section meaning he’s only 1 point behind me now 😬😬 going into final rnd Monday silvers only 


So on to Thursday missed a couple of these and the fish haven’t been there usual selves but with only 11 or 12 on was hoping they would have it usual banter before the draw with the boys and I pulled peg 7 
I decided to chuck a mini method to corner of island first 10 mins had one and lost one fed my edges and caster top 6 but on first throw of caster there were fish there so spent 2hrs 45 mins on this pretty much getting one a bung I lost a few until I sorted my hook out which cost me a bit of time but had a really busy enjoyable match.
I put 125lb on the scales but I was a bit worried as I had a 4 pounder jump clean outta my keepnets and that definitely cost me the Win as matt roden won the match with 127 lb but FairPlay to him I will definitely be keeping my nets up higher or covering them in future !!!!!  Still a great night 👍👍👍 thanks for reading
