An impromptu charity match at Harry’s today saw me draw the infamous peg 4 for only the second time ever. I didn’t really do it justice but still had a lovely days fishing to weigh 95lb 8oz for third spot behind Chris Norton who did brilliantly from peg 6 to win with 124lb. Another tidy sum was raised for charity too.

With nothing on Sunday I arranged a match at the lovely Covey Fisheries. I got drawn peg 8 and tried to fish for silvers but it was solid with F1’s of all sizes, I did manage to catch a nice barbel, some roach, rudd, little skimmers and a chublet for 5lb 14oz and second in the silvers by default. I’ve literally had a bite a chuck all day to weigh 50lb 8oz but was miles off Allan Orams winning weight of 92lb.

We were back at Harry’s for another charity match and it was a scorching hot day. I didn’t move far from the last match, drawing peg 12 but had a lovely day fishing mainly shallow with Bait-Tech Carp and Coarse 6mm pellets, I’ve caught 55 carp from 1oz to 4lb plus a skimmer, 2 roach and 2 rudd for 55lb 13oz and second place. Another tidy sum went into the charity pot. Well done to Toastie on the win with an excellent 69lb 10oz.

My first ever Fish’O’Manis qualifier at the mighty Todber Manor, I don’t think I drew the best area and didn’t disgrace myself but was only 222lb off qualifying and 186lb off winning my section! I finished up with 39 little carp for 100lb 14oz on 6mm Bait-Tech Carp and Coarse Pellets.

Another venue I hadn’t fished for years, Thorney Lakes. Started on a little hybrid feeder but lost the first two little carp, after two hours I had three small carp and a 4lb bream before it died. Added a few small skimmers and roach on maggots over Special G Red to finish with 5lb 14oz which was enough to win the silvers pot. Matt Adams took the overall win with 27lb of carp.

Fished my first match at the mighty Viaduct since 2013! Had a really enjoyable first half of the match catching some nice skimmers but it slowed towards the end, had 35 skimmers and some roach for 33lb 13oz plus two carp that went 21lb 3oz between them. Lee Tucker won the silvers with over 41lb.

Fished the Garbolino Club Angler Qualifier at Todber on Weds, Darren Cox drew me 45 on Hill View which is a decent area.
