Friday Open Night Match. 24th Sept 2010

Night time at Rolfs

9 anglers turned up to fish the night match at the lake. A few people were also camping over so they could fish the open match on Saturday. Some people had dropped out meaning we could all get on the big lake.

The draw took place and the normal flyer pegs 32 and 9 went to Marcus Burgess (budgie) and John Bennett.

The weather at the lake was cold and dark anyway but as the all in came at 7.45 it was dark already and the lights were turned on. First to catch was Neil Riddy on peg 23 who was fishing on the tip rod. Mark Chard on peg 10 was also right in to fish and had a very good start catching 6 or 7 fish in the first hour.

Budgie fishing on Peg 32 was a different story though, his first fish was a skimmer followed by a chub and was struggling to get the carp to bite like most of the other anglers. I had managed to get 4 carp in the net in the first hour fishing from peg 18.

The temperature dropped throughout the match to 2 degree’s. We had a small rain amount of rain before the mist rolled in. Justin Watkins fishing from peg 11 had started catching well along with John Bennett on his home peg 9 :D

The rest of the match was a complete struggle for most and everyone was very cold and eager to get round to have a warm by the BBQ by the end of the match. John had laid on some good food that was been cooked by master chief Dave Whiteman :D

While the BBQ warmed up the weigh in was done but word was that Justin had won it and indeed he had. John thought he may have enough to beat him but was just a few fish short.

Results.

Neil Riddy had commented to John…. “Leave your gear round there as you will be on peg 8 tomorrow”

Neil was right too, John indeed drew peg 8 on the Saturday Open. More on that later…..

Well done to Justin, fine win on a hard match. :) He also takes the Peg King for peg 11 :D

Friday Night Match. 20th August 2010

Another Night match at the lake saw a very good turnout. 26 anglers turned up hoping to have a few fish.

At the start of the match most people seemed to be in to fish right away. I had 2 carp in the first 5 minutes as did most of the other anglers but then the whole lake switched off. Only a few anglers managed to catch for the rest of the match.

Neil Riddy fishing from peg 6 was catching some big lumps including a 18-10 mirror and a 17-4 common, these helped him to win his second consecutive match at the lake. He also broke his PB carp too. Well done to Neil. He did not need help from his mom in this match though :D :-P

John Hauge fishing from peg 34 also managed to catch a few.

On the Saturday morning the top layer of water in the lake was covered with fish gulping for air and John thinks the reason this match so poorly was due to low oxygen levels in the lake.

A bit of bad news as far as the results go because they got blown away or lost so I only have a few results. If anyone else knows any of the missing information then please email, comment or use the contact and send me them please. Neil Riddy kindly supplied the below information, thank you. :)

Today the Jinx Squad return to the lake to fish their annual Evening match at the lake. They are also fishing on the Saturday too.

Before the match Malc had arranged a BBQ so everyone could have a natter before the match. The draw had been a rolling draw meaning you could draw from anytime after 4pm until the last person turned up. Most people were already at the lake and started drawing. People went and set up on their pegs with 3.5 hours before the match was due to start and then headed back for the BBQ.

John and Pauline

Gem and cooking. uh oh....

Thats more like Gem's cooking :D

Most people were camping at the lake ready for Saturdays match, and some were even fishing the open match on the Sunday too.

John do you know some Gypo's have moved in ??

Rolfslake flasher, Paul Roberts

Cross your arms if your going to do a Ton tonight

After the BBQ everyone made the way to their pegs. Some people were more excited than others with their drawing hand. See if you can guess which  ….. ?

Vince Gould was on 14.

Dave Collier was on 32

Malc Doyle on peg 8 with He-Man in the background

Mitch Auger behind peg 7

Tony Roberts seem quite chuffed to be on 9

Clive Pritchard on peg 31

Jon Hatch looks quite happy

Once the match started people seemed to all catch a fish pretty quickly but then people were struggling. After the lights went on the lake looked lovely but the fishing proved to be hard.

After the match word was A section had fished best with Malc on peg 8 had catching well along with Alex on peg 6. Nick Williams had also had a few. While in B section Al Loader was to the only person to really have put a weight together. In C section fresh was his first Ton weight Nick (Monkey) had been trying for another and came very close, Paul Roberts who had a terrible lasy match had managed to catch a few this time.

After quite a hard Match here are the results…

After the match and the weigh in was complete. People were up drinking and chatting till 5am.

A certain young Lady (Gem) had gone to bed having only fished for 2 hours of the match and then went to sleep behind her peg with the slugs and snails. So 7 out of 24 ain’t bad for 2 hours work is it :D

If you want to fish a night match at the lake the next one is on the 20th August. The draw time is 6.30pm. Its quite an experience :)

Make sure to ring John Bennett to book in as spaces are limited. Number is in ‘Contact‘ above.

Thanks, Si and Eddie.
