BRISTOL’S Tony Rixon beat Wells-based Tom Thick by the weight of an average-sized Acorn Fishery carp in round five of the fishery’s Pole Only series at Kingston Seymour.
Gusting winds made fishing uncomfortable. Big weights were not expected and Rixon was the only competitor to hit the 100lb mark after drawing to fish the hotly-favoured Bridge peg 40 on the car park bank.

At the start Rixon cupped up 4mm pellet to the far side of the footbridge, and it took him 20 minutes to catch his first fish.
He said: “Bites started to come more regularly after the first 30 minutes and about three-and-a-half hours later, when the fish moved away, I had already netted 30 carp.

“I then switched to fishing the five-metre pole line, but after a short spell of catching only seven small f1s I decided to give plan A another try.
“I caught a decent-sized carp with my first put-in and just kept going. During the last two hours of the match I caught another 25 decentsized fish and weighed in 111-14-0.”
The runner-up was Thatcher’s Tackle top man Thick, who poled soft pellet over a micro pellet feed between five and 11 metres off peg 30 and brought in 46 carp, weighing in at exactly 108lb.
Third place was filled by Cadbury Angling Centre’s Andy France. He poled banded 4 and 6mm pellets close to the Peg 34 footbridge and brought 82-7-0 of mostly carp to the scales.
Result. Overall: 1, Tony Rixon (Mosella Avon Angling) 111-14-0, Bridge Peg 40; 2, Tom Thick (Thatchers Tackle) 108-0-0, peg 30; 3, Andy France (Cadbury Angling) 82-7-0, Bridge Peg 34; 4, Lewis Jones 80-7-0, peg 36; 5= Glen Bailey (Aon Angling Bristol) peg 38 Brian Slipper (Sensas Thyers) peg A4, both 68-11-0.
Silverfish: 1, Russ Peck 25-12-0, peg A5; 2, Chris Fox 25-8-0, peg A1; 3, Mark Broomsgrove 21-4-0, peg 6.
Local rod Lewis Jones romped home a comfortable winner of Shiplate Farm’s May Day open, fished on Main Lake at Bleadon, near Weston-super-Mare.
He poled a banded 8mm pellet at 13 metres and varying depths off Match Lake 15 and ran in a massive 51-8-0 clear of his nearest challenger with a 121-6-0 catch of quality carp.
Result. Overall: 1, Lewis Jones 121-6-0, peg 15; 2, Dominic Sullivan 69-14-0, peg 9a; 3, John Hawkins 49-2-0, peg 14b.

Bryan Cleevely lifted the Brian Waldron Cup with just 8ozs to spare in the Kingswood DAC Cup Match, fished at Plantation Lakes, Kingston Seymour.
He fished a single maggot hookbait up to ten metres off peg ten and sealed victory with a 13-11-0 catch of carp, plus a 5-7-0 mixed bag of silverfish.
Dave Farnan finished close behind, after poling a 4mm soft pellet into the margins of peg 1 for 18-10-0 of carp, while third-placed Dave Blakemore poled luncheon meat, caster and maggot between the reeds and up to nine metres off peg eight for a hard-earned 18-3-0 of roach, rudd and skimmers.
Match organiser Pete Powe poled a 4mm soft pellet at nine metres off peg 11, and the capture of two skimmers weighing just 1-8-0 was enough to give him the silverfish pools money by default.
Result. Overall: 1, Bryan Cleevely 19-2-0, peg 10; 2, Dave Farnan 18-10-0, peg 1; 3, Dave Blakemore 18-3-0, peg 8; 4, Mike Ferris 11-11-0, peg 14; 5, Dave Coopper 11-10-0, peg 15; 6, Eddie Buck 9-10-0, peg 3.
