There will be another open match on sat 4th September the draw time will be 12-30 fishing 1-30 -6-30, please book in as soon as possible.
All that was missing from todays match was Noah and the Arc.
As the anglers gathered at the draw the black clouds were covering the lake meaning only one thing a wet match, so water proofs were the order of the day but that did not help the anglers in todays match.
As the match started the rain started only light drizzle then it came down heavy for the next 4 and a half hours making it very difficult for all the anglers concerned except if you were drawn in the small lake where a few fish were happy to feed.
As i had a miserable time i never had a chance to look around as the rain was blasting in my eyes, but what i can tell you is that in first place was Chris Lovelock who was drawn in the small lake on peg 4. Chris fished with pellet at short range and down the edge and was rewarded with fish to double figures in his final weight of 208-04 { well done Chris }.
In second place and only 2 fish behind was Mick Lane who again drew another flyer this time peg 8 and Mick fished a combination of long across against the grass on the far bank and down the edge to his left. Mick used banded pellet feeding heavy and caught on both lines and after five hours caught 187-00 and another frame for the RTG team captain.
Completing the frame was Andy Quarmby on peg 7 who was way behind Mick after 3 hours but the fish moved in on Andys long shallow line and by using pellet Andy put a great weight together of 160-08 for only two hours fishing.
After the match the anglers were treated to a nice warm soup and a chance to get out of our soaking wet clothes but i don’t think i have ever seen that much rain come down at Rolfs ever.

After returning from holiday i was hoping for a good days fishing but the rain put paid to that and even worse was the fact that John Bennett has now managed to beat me again to level the score to 8 – 8 roll on the next match.
Until our next report tight lines Eddie and Simon.
Geoff Palmer.... MOG
A few of the Jinxsters had camped over after the BBQ so they could have a drink and travel back in the day-time. They woke up to find the car park buzzing with anglers fishing a club match at the lake. The club had turned up with half the number expected so instead of 20 anglers there were 10, they decided to fish in the big lake which left the little lake free 😐
A plan was hatched by Geoff to run a small knock-up match on the little lake with John’s permission. A few of the anglers had to get permission of their other halves 😀 With permission granted 8 angler gathered to discuss plans for the day.
We all decided not to draw pegs but just simply choose a peg that we fancied fishing. We all chose our pegs and then decided to fish from 1pm – 6pm. We paid our peg fee’s and all put £2 in the pot to give two prizes for the day, £11 for most weigh and £5 for the biggest fish.
Everyone was set up and ready but with 15 minutes to go Geoff was summoned to go and have his dinner or miss out 😀
We gave him an extra 15 minutes to come back and then I called the all in. Budgie fishing from peg 6 had decided that he fancied doing some coaching for the day. Liam Doyle was his pupil, Liam had already had a go on my gear on peg 32 last night and caught a nice carp and was eager to continue where he left off last night.

Everyone started off fairly well catching fish apart from poor Gem fishing from peg 1. Mat on peg 8 had landed his first carp in 3 days having failed to catch one in the previous two matches. I was having a chat with John Bennett and watching the other fishing and decided to go and have a go, I fed 2 handfuls of pellets on the left hand bush on peg 38 and dropped the rig in. I had a fish on right away too followed by another. I also dropped the feeder under the bush as I fancied a go on the rod and had a few more from both the left and right bushes.
By this time Liam was shouting and had his first fish on and in the net. He was very excited to say the least 😀 Malc on peg 39 had had a few fish but he too was in coaching mode, his wife Julie was on his box and playing a fish 😯 Anyone who knows Julie will know that she does NOT do fishing and hates it…. well used too. After having a few goes over the weekend it seems she was hooked now. Julies run on his box was cut short by yet another Doyle wanting to have a go. Crystal was soon on his box and playing a fish much to the disgust of Gem who was still fishless.
Dai and Mat on pegs 7 and 8 were catching plenty of fish and Geoff was hooking lots of fish on peg 3 but was loosing them as they were foul hooked. Nick on peg 4 was playing the odd fish but seemed to be struggling. Malc had managed to get on his box and catch a few more and also went on Gems peg to catch one off her peg to prove there was some fish in there 😀 Gem did manage one of her own using the feeder rod.
In the last hour of the mini match Liam had been bagging up big time. He let out a very loud “YES” when he landed a fish that he had been playing for 15 minutes, a fish of 18lb 8oz 😯 and a new PB for him. This fish was closely followed by a 17lb 2oz fish 😯 😯 Not bad for a 7 year old.
I shouted the all out at 6-15 and Liam was jumping up and down with excitement having caught a lot of fish. Gem came round and had a go on my peg as the bush was alive with fish and was soon catching a few much needed fish 😀
We all packed up and got the weigh in done.

The star of the day was Liam who has weighed a massive 90lb 2 oz on his first 5 hour match and had also shattered most people’s PB carp. Well done Liam, I think even Marcus learnt a thing or two 😀
Everyone had a great day and would like to thank John for letting us fish.
A few pictures now …
