COMPETITIONS & RESULTS
2026 SEASON
8th February Winter Silvers League. Round 4. Bernie’s ‘Racetrack’.
Round 4 turned out to be another tricky day. Feed to much or at the wrong time and the Carp would muscle in to upset what was already a challenge in getting bites from the Silvers. The added influx of water created by this weeks rain didn’t really help matters either. Top bloke was Gary Spackman on end peg 1 with 9-0-0 of quality skimmers in second place was Tony Hardstone with 5-10-0 just piping Richie Hemmings by one ounce to place him in third place, with John Ayres taking fourth place with 5-4-0. Two more individuals were knocked out today those being Trevor Pavitt & Max Calverley. The remaining five anglers going into the next round at Sumners are Richie Hemmings, Gary Spackman, Derek Carter, Martin Charnock & Robbie Gaiger where by only three of the five will go through to the final round held on Harris Lake at Marsh Farm Fishery.
25th January. Carp & Silvers Match Bernie’s Racetrack
Predictions of a wet and windy day turned out to be just a storm in a tea cup with just the odd downpour that lasted around 5 minutes. With only a few regulars for this Sunday knock-up in a match where there were two cash pools one for Carp and a seperate for Silvers. Those solely fishing for Silvers would have an added bonus of a sneaky practice for the up and coming Surrey & Sussex winter Silvers League. With a walk off draw gave each of the competitors the option of choosing where they would prefer to sit which left plenty of room as we we had the whole complex. The water level was extremely high and chocolate coloured which was expected after the weeks rainfall prior to today’s match.

20th January Coffin Dodgers Midweek Silvers Only Match. Five Oaks Fishery
The first midweek match of 2026 saw the Coffin Dodgers crew attend what was to be a difficult day at Five Oaks Fishery. Whilst there were plenty of small fish to accept a bait the quality fish were much harder to tempt with Steve Beard on peg 10 catching a few better stamp skimmers however for the rest of the field it was more of a small fish race. Martin Charnock excels at catching miniature fish at speed taking in excess of 500 blips as he took the spoils with 8-8-0 along with his winning pairs partner Ron Carter on peg 2 who added 4-0-0 to their total for 12-8-0 to win the random pairs pool. Second place from peg 4 was Derek Carter (top Right) with 6-13-0. Dennis Cooper on peg 6 took joint third with Ron with a weight of 4-0-0 from peg 6.
