FISHING AT THE LAKE OVER THE WEEKEND

11

I HAVE DECIDED TO CANCEL TOMORROWS OPEN MATCH DUE TO THE EXSTREME OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES, I WILL BE GOING DOWN THE LAKE MID MORNING TO HAVE A LOOK AND BREAK SOME ICE.

THE THICKNESS OF THE ICE IS  NOT REALY A PROBLEM AS REGUARDS THE SPRING PAIRS MATCH AS WE HAVE BROKEN ICE IN MUCH COLDER CONDITIONS.

,HOWEVER WITH THE FORCAST OF SNOW DEPENDING ON WHICH WEATHER REPORT YOU LOOK AT, WITH A POSSIBLE 5 INCHES OR MORE I HAVE TO CONSIDER TRAVELLING CONDITIONS, I WOULD NOT LIKE TO PUT ANYBODY IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION, SO KEEPING A LOOK ON THE WEATHER REPORTS I WILL MAKE A DECISION BY 5-30 TOMORROW.

I WILL HOLD AN OPEN ON THE LAKE FOR THE INTREPID ( OR DAFT) ANGLERS WHO ARE DETERMINED TO GET OUT

Wednesday Open Match. 1st February 2012

A cold day down the lake today but strangely no ice on the lake despite minus temperatures.Very hard fishing today down the lake for the anglers.

Today’s winner Pete Archer has not been down the lake for a while but returned to take the win fishing from peg 28. Pete was using maggot on the pole trying for silvers but go plagued with those pesky carp.

Neil Riddy managed to catch 3 carp for his weight from last Sundays winning peg, Peg 13. Neil is currently the peg king for peg 13 so knows how to fish it but the carp had other idea’s today.

Completing the frame was Dave Wightman fishing from peg 10. Dave’s weigh was made up completely of silver fish, he also had 3 bonus skimmers to help build his weight.

 Results

     Pos Name Peg Weight
1 Pete Archer 28 29-8
2 Neil Riddy 13 20-8
3 Dave Wightman 10 14-8
4 John Bennett 24 9-8
5 John Draper 9 7-0

9 Anglers Fished.

Todays winner in Sunnier times down the lake. Pete Archer.

The temperature is set to drop further still and then start to rise again Saturday so hopefully it wont be too cold for everyone fishing the second round of the Spring Pairs League this Sunday.

There is an Open match this Saturday also.

Thanks for Reading, Eddie, John and Simon.

Rolfs Lake Spring League. Round 1. 29th Jan.

17

Today was the eagerly awaited pairs series based on 6 matches with you been able to drop your worst result.

 

I was very much looking forward to this as I have practically been in hibernation since I arrived back from Whiteacres last October. There were 9 other pairs fishing and on paper they all  looked very strong teams so the competition was going to be good along with plenty of banter.

John Bennett conducted the draw for the sections we were going to fish, unbelievably the first 8 pairs all drew A section with only the last pair breaking the sequence of A section draws.

Once the draw for the sections was done, we were on for drawing our pegs for the day. The fancied pegs in A section went to Paul Bennett, Paul Jay and Mick Chappell. I was personally in B section and having fished the section the day before without a lot of success, I was secretly hoping I would of avoided, even more when I drew peg 22 as I had struggled off 18 before

Conditions wise the lake was like a mill pond, well this was until Steve Waters plumbed up the depth and caught a carp on a bare hook. Solid springs to mind. Typical Steve Waters peg then !!!!

With the match kicking off at 10.45, Mark Newbold on peg 26 was running to the weigh station at 10.46 with his first carp. Looking round the lake it looked like the fish were having a bit of a feed as most people seemed to be catching except the guys between 17 and 23 who sat looking at motionless tips or floats.

Come the final whistle the carp had moved to our end of the lake but it was all to late. Mick Chappel on peg 13 was rumoured to have caught well plus Andy on peg 10 next to him. Come the weigh in Mick Chappel was confirmed as the winner catching mainly on banded pellet or corn over micro pellet. Andy next to him on peg 10 was only one fish behind him again catching on corn over pellet.

Overall the battle for B section was won by Mark Newbold on peg 26 fishing 14m fishing double corn over pellet. This was also enough to ensure his team were top pairs on the day with 17 points.

With the next match this coming Sunday, the teams at the top will be looking to consolidate there lead and the ones at the bottom will be looking for an improved performance, However with Baltic conditions forecast, anything can happen !!!

Lastly on the behalf of all the anglers at Rolfs, I would like to wish Phil Powell a speedy recovery and we will look forward to seeing you back on the bank soon.
