The other important piece of information is that the Coffin Dodgers 2010 Christmas Match draw will be at 08:00 sharp.Back to today. Apparently the Coffin Dodgers now have a swear box deducting 1lb of your weight for every naughty word. There were a few DNW’s today!!
In to the draw side tray and out comes peg 50. Umm, a noted Carp peg with little Silvers history. In fact the peg is Bob Price’s favourite, who generally elects to fish the waggler on top the bar off the end of the island. So with this in mind I set up one Silver fish rig – 4x16 Jolly and a 0.3 gram Corn Float set to 3 foot. I started by cupping in four balls of GB at 2 o clock at 10 metres followed up with three balls by hand as a bit of advertising (I keep
imagining this heap of ground bait in a 6 inch circle). Anyway it woke up Mike Jones (pictured right focused on the job in hand) on the opposite peg 58 who I had to look at all match. I followed up by feeding a few grains of corn and caster at 13 metres over to the island in 3 foot of water. Starting on the single maggot over the GB I had small Ronnie’s from the off (1 – 2oz). These must be the evicted Ronnie’s from Bridge – second class citizens then. I did have the very occasional 3 oz fish – Ronnie’s and Hybrids. Everyone seemed to be catching a similar stamp of fish. I had a quick look on the corn on the Carp line with double maggot which resulted in another 1oz Ronnie. So back on the Silvers line where I kept them coming until the last 1 ½ hours when I decided to give the Carp a real go to the end, after all Bob Price wouldn’t forgive me if I didn’t. So out I go with single corn kinder potting in three grains of corn with caster. First put in I foul hook a small Carp which came off. Next cast I hook and land a 12 oz Perch – unusual on corn. I then hooked and landed a 3lb Mirror Carp followed by another foul hooker. After a quiet spell I did land another Carp, a 4lb Common. My Silvers weighed in at 7lb 1oz and the two Carp 7lb 10oz for an overall weight of 14lb 11oz. This put me sixth in the Silvers and first overall. I was the only angler today to catch Carp.The Silvers was won by Steve Jefferies with 11lb 6oz from peg 47. Steve caught on both pole and GB feeder, his weight being boosted by a feeder caught 3 ½ lb Bream.
The pictured right shows the overall winner and not a vagrant living rough at Huntstrete as one might think, but the Millionaire and Silvers winner Steve Jefferies. So if you don’t know what a millionaire looks like you do now. The smile says it all!!Full Result:
1. Mike Nicholls 14-11-0 peg 50
2. Steve Jefferies 11-04-0 peg 47
3. Mike Jones 9-11-0 peg 58

I thought at one point I saw you with 14.5 metres out, Mr Rixon will be impressed.
It was a mere 13 metres the max I could use without shipping down.
