Spring league round 4 21st March 2010

2 years ago

by Eddie in Match Reports

As the anglers gathered for round 4 of the spring league they were joined on the lake by a visiting party who today would be fishing the small lake pegs 34 to peg 8.

With the league being very close between the Woodentops led by captained by Paul Jay and the Swindon Mafia captained by Mick Lane ,it was going to be very important to ensure that all anglers caught and with the carp now starting to move that you managed to catch a few to boost your weight and with the wind blowing from the south the fish that were hiding down on pegs 19 and 20 had started to move to the middle of the lake infront of pegs 16 and 24.

John tells that during the match carp were caught and lost but the main battle was between he on peg 18 {for John peg 18 is his new peg 9 as he had drawn it a few times recently} and Derek Hammond on peg 22 and at the end of five hours Derek was one fish ahead although John mananged to lose a few during the match. Derek was fishing the pole fished long and on the deck using corn for hook bait but feeding quite cautiously to keep the fish there and in the end Derek caught 95-00 for first place individually and 4 points for his team. John fished pretty similar to Derek but after catching a few carp the fished moved out of pole range and started to come up on the surface much to his annoyance as he tells me he should of caught over 100lb of fish with the amount of fish in his swim but ended up with 80-08.

Elsewhere around the lake most anglers caught a few carp on either pole, waggler or bomb again using corn and pellet as the main hookbait but feeding cautiously as not to spook the fish.

The Woodentops still lead the league but only by one point so round five this weekend should be a good battle between them and the Swindon Mafia and as reporter i am totally unbiased so i hope the Woodentops win for a change. The lake is fishing better as each match goes by so by the time the Easter Festival comes round it should be on top form.

2010 carp Match Rolfs lake Spring League

Spring League 2010. Round 3.

2 years ago

by Simon in Match Reports

7th March

Sunny but cold day at the Lake.

The sunshine made an appearance today at the lake but Friday night had seen a frost. The lake was ice free but the ground was solid and most of the platforms had a layer of ice on them.

Would the carp show again like last week, it was looking possible as John Bennett had managed 90lb from peg 18 on the Saturdays open at the lake. So were the carp still down the far end of the big lake ? Those fishing C section were all hoping to draw peg 22 or 18 but who would be the lucky two ?

Phil Powell was one, he was hoping for 22 but pulled peg 18 out and Mike Stimpson drew peg 22.

Those fishing on the motorway bank were to have the sun on them all day whilst those on the car park bank were in arctic conditions with the wind picking up and blowing a chill down the lake towards pegs 19 and 21.

No one on the Little lake today.

Mick Lane, Simon Mound and Paul Jay were all catching silvers in A section. Gary Haisman was the only person to catch carp from B Section and John Colwing also in B section was on the way to building up a nice silver bag again like in the last round. C section it seemed had all the carp again with all 4 anglers catching carp. But this time it was Phil Powell on peg 18 taking the lead over Mike Stimpson on peg 22. Big Ron on 24 and Steve Williams on 16 we equal on 4 carp each but whose would be bigger.

Off to do the weigh in

quick tip..if you click on a picture, move your cursor off the picture to fade out the navigation bar.

A dull day at Rolfs Lake

Today saw 16 angler at the lake to fish round 2 of the spring league. The weather this morning was very dull, raining and a slight wind blowing down the big lake towards pegs 19, 20 and 21. The temps were a lot warmer too so would the carp want to play today was the question everyone was asking.

All the matches are been held in the big lake only for the spring league so everyone was saying the carp would be in the little lake

The fields around the lake were flooded and John Bennett had had the pumps running since Thursday to keep the levels on the lake down. The water was just lapping some of the platforms so he had done a great job.

The brook was Really High

Lots of mud everywhere due to all the rain.

At the start of the match Simon on peg 22 was straight in to carp fishing 16m to the bush next to peg 21. He was fishing corn on the deck. He managed to catch 7 carp in the first hour. Derek on peg 9 was catching some excellent bream. Gary on peg 10 and John on peg 30 were both bagging up on Silvers catching one a chuck. Silvers were been caught all around the lake.

Simon in the second hour had switched from corn on the deck and started fishing half depth with a White boilie as bait and was getting a very good response, he had been getting a lot of Liners and had decided to give mid water. The fish were taking the bait just as the float cocked on the 3ft mark. After hour 2 he had 17 carp in the net (not all one net)

The rest of the lake were struggling with only a few carp been caught but plenty of silver fish action, where were they all in the winter league ?? They certainly were making a come back now.

By the end of the third hour the silvers were still showing round the lake and the carp were still biting on peg 22. Simon by this time had 25 carp in the net. The final hour saw him only catch a further 2 carp to give him a total of 27. He tempted the last 2 by going back on the deck with the corn again.

No Picture of Simon’s fish as it was raining again sorry. But with the first big weight from the lake this year it looks like things maybe on the up for the lake. We shall see what happens in round 3 next week on the 7th March.
