Rolfslake Easter Festival Day 2
Granstand finish to become champion on day 3.
With day two the day that normally sorts out the anglers for the the big finale on day 3, it also saw the 2016 champion Anthony Flint crash out of contention for the title.
The day was alot tougher than yesterday with weights lower in all sections, but the top two on the day were well into ton weights.
The big challenge has always been moody A Section which is either ok or really tough and today it was the latter.
Anthony Flint was the classic example of what happens when you put a good angler on a barren peg , you just don’t catch.
The winner of A Section and following his good result from day 1 was Michael Corsini.
Michael after losing a quick fish then settled down to fishing his edge swims fishing with corn feeding groundbait . This drew a steady run of carp to double figures in his winning weight of 141-08.
Winning B Section was Malc Doyle who was on car park bank 28. Malc fished his tried and tested paste hook bait feeding heavy with pellet to continue his run of ton plus weights.
Malc caught 1 bream and 11 carp for his total weight for 137-09 to put himself back in contention of being champion.
In C Section it was a very close battle between Kevin Simpson and Andy Quarmby on pegs 26 and 24 , which was eventually won by Kevin with his weight of 96-01 to Andy’s 88-06.
Tomorrow’s A Section will have a massive bearing on who will become champion with Andy Quarmby in this section and Micheal is in B.
