COMPETITIONS & RESULTS

2025

8th June. Warwick Wold Fishery Ash Lake

Derek Carter ( Top ) in the last hour came good as the Carp decided to have a munch in the higher peg numbers to slip in front of John Ayres who we thought had a comfortable lead having landed twelve fish and was looking good for the win. However Derek’s last gasp few bites in the last hour saw him land 54-10-0 for the win over John’s 47-1-0 taking second place. With each bank paying just the top two it was Ron Carter who took the motorway bank win with 39-3-0 with r/up Dennis Cooper landing 30-3-0.

30th May  Five Oaks Fishery Top Lake  Coffin Dodgers Midweek Match

There was a change of venue from the proposed Weirwood Reservoir to Five Oaks due to some recent dire results. However Five Oaks Top lake always guarantees a few bites and today didn’t disappoint. Giving the anglers the option of where they chose to sit by having a walk off at the draw, Richie Hemmings drawing number 1 decided he would sit in peg 5 with Martin Charnock taking the last peg in the bag for number 2 and chose to sit on Peg 6. The Whip normally rules the roost if the better skimmers fail to show and Martin edged his bets and fished just that using So simple groundbait of Sweet Skimmer to catch over 500 small roach and Rudd along with the odd skimmer to take the win with 20-0-0. Richie Hemmings took second place with 15-4-0 fishing the long pole for the skimmers. Trevor Pavitt on peg 4 took third place with 13-7-0 just edging out Les Collins who weighed 13-1-0 to take fourth place. Ron Carter on peg 11 showed he is the eel king as his 10-14-0 included 4 nice eels within his catch.

25th May. Henfold Main Lake

Today’s Club fixture saw a full house of members for this Silvers Only match. Whilst the fishing was fantastic it’s a shame the swims around the lake at Henfold have some major issues for its lack of maintenance. Martin Charnock (top left) on Silvers is a hard individual to beat and today was no different as he weighed 27-14-0 for the win, encompassing a whip and long pole approach using Si-Wi Steady floats on the pole and Squatt floats on the Whip. Groundbait was the So Simple mix of Sweet Skimmer and GCS 50/50 fishing and loose feeding Casters. Derek Carter on peg 13 weighed 20-5-0 using the So Simple groundbait mix of GCS also using a whip and Pole approach to take the runner up spot. Robbie Gaiger on Peg 2 came in third place with 19-12-0. John Ayres (centre) took fourth place with 18-2-0. Gary Barnes (top right) with his catch of 17-12-0.

10th May  Weirwood Reservoir  ‘Coffin Dodgers Midweek Match

4th May  Orchard Place Farm Fishery. Lake 6

8th April. Marsh Farm Fishery. Richardsons Lake Winter Silvers Final Round

The final round of the Winter Silvers League saw CADAS members at Marsh Farm Fishery. As for the League standings at least six anglers were in contention of taking the title..Also there was the Individual Knockout Final with just three anglers left, with only the winner and runner up being paid. This venue has no defined area as to where the winner on the day would come from but when regular Max Calverley drew Peg 13 there were groans as this peg has been winning the last few Wednesday Open matches. However fate was to play a big part with Gary Spackman (top) lying in third place going into this round, he made good to take the win from Peg 6 fishing a feeder to the far bank which saw him land 38-2-0. More Importantly with the 12 points he had tied on 40 points with Martin and Derek but did enough to win the League on overall weight but also winning the Individual K.O. Derek Carter on Peg 15 took second place with 30-15-0 to take third place overall in the final standings of the league but managed to take the runner up spot in the individual knockout. Martin Charnock was third from peg 10 with 28-8-0 but managed to take runner up in the league with a superior overall weight than Derek, but sadly was the fastest loser in the Individual knockout. Section winners were 4-8 John Ayres peg 4 14-14-0, 9-13 Tony Hardstone Peg 11 16-12-0 & 15-19 Lionel Herve Peg 17 15-9-0 

2nd March. Pump House  Main Lake  Winter Silvers League Round 3

Round 3 at the Pump House located in Grantham Hampshire proved a tough nut to crack and was not like its former glory from previous years with hardly any Roach caught with just the odd Skimmer willing to feed. Today also saw the penultimate round in the Individual knockout with only three of the six qualifiers going through to the Final at Marsh Farm in a month’s time. Martin Charnock (left) went through winning the day with 8-12-0 using So Simple baits groundbait of GCS/Sweet Skimmer 50/50% fishing the waggler, the next qualifier was Gary Speckman also taking the runner up spot with 4-3-0 (center) catching his fish on the feeder along with Derek Carter who also qualified with 3-7-0 (right) for fourth place. Third overall on the day was Max Calverley with 4-1-0

9th February. Beaver Farm Fishery. Winter Silvers League. Round 2

Round 2 of the Winter Silvers League saw the lead change between competitors throughout the day with Robbie Gaiger (top Left) having a late run of Bream in the last hour to take the win with 17-9-0 in second place going to John Ayres (top right) with 16-4-0. The day was pretty dire on the whole but the only fish that were caught and counted were the resident Bream. The odd F1 Carp were caught but didn’t count leading to a considerable D.N.W’s. Section winners were L-R Steve Beard A section 11-10-0, Tony Hardstone B section 15-2-0 and Gary Speckman C section 11-9-0. The Individual K.O saw 6 anglers go through to the Semi-final where it will be reduced down to three qualifiers for the 4th and final round at Marsh Farm Fishery.

5th January. Five Oaks Fishery Top Lake. Silvers Only

It was a practice knock up prelude to the start of the Winter Silvers Series. With Round 1 starting here in two weeks time. Only eight anglers from the league had booked in for today with one competitor losing his bottle before the start, but by the end of the day those that fished are hoping that the next two weeks see a change in conditions. The two sharp frosts on consecutive nights plus the heavy snowfall on the Saturday evening also the the continuous rainfall throughout the day raised the water level by around 18 inches, catching any fish at all looked ominous for today’s practice. So it proved, Derek Carter (top) on peg 4 found plenty of small Roach and Rudd with the odd better skimmer to take top spot with 9-2-0. Dennis Cooper (bottom) on peg 5 won the section with 4-12-0 narrowly beating Richie Hemmings by just 2 ounces. Martin Charnock on peg 11 took the far side section comfortably with 3-12-0 landing some quality Roach.
