Eddie at Rolfs Lake

Rolfslake’s Saturday Open 21st January 2012

2 weeks ago

by Eddie in Match Reports

John tells me today that it was a very cold daay down the lake, with a swirling wind affecting fishing of the pole as it messed up presentation. With most of the anglers opting to use the bomb it was just a case of waiting for bites and after 5 hours in form angler John Bennett ended up top of the pile with his 3 carp to 12-08. John fished the bomb and feeder at a range of 15 metres using corn hook bait to catch his 3 carp and even missed a few bites on the waggler but it was very hard to workout what the fish wanted today and his weight was a very low 32-08 but most welcome.

In second place was John Draper on peg 9 with 3 carp for 25-08 and third was Paul Jay with 2 carp for 17-08 in what was another frustrating match down the lake.

Results.

10 Fished.

The cost of entering a team will be £20 per angler = £40 per team

There will be a £20 per angler pools on the day { minus peg fees } and both team members must enter this on the day as there will only be a top 3 teams payout on the day.

Both the big and small lake will be used for this series which will be divided into 4 sections A,B,C and D and this will be explained on the morning of the first round.

The anglers will be able to use both pole and rod in this series.

If there is a maximum 12 team attendance then the payouts will be as follows.

24 anglers paying £20 pools per round = £480 – £8 per peg peg fees 24x £8 = £192 and this leaves £ 288 to be paid per round.

The winning team per round gets £120

The second team per round gets £98

The third team per round gets £70
