Rolfslake Wednesday Open 2nd March 2011
With the attendances starting to grow slowly in the midweek opens the anglers were again greeted with a cold day with a swirling wind that again made fishing the long pole very difficult.
With the lake also carrying alot of rain water from the last two weeks, one think is certainly required and that is a pair of wellies as the platforms are under water at the moment as John cannot lower the lake as the fields aare still flooded.
The winner of todays match was lake owner John Bennett who caught his fish on a combination of the tip and the long pole as the swirling wind made fishing the pole difficult for any length of time and by fishing corn and pellet John managed to keep the fish coming and also found time to lose 5 fish in his final weight of 76-04 {well done John }.
In second place was the drawer of flyers { peg 9 this time } Paul Jay Who caught most of his fish by the right hand bush, and Paul also used corn and pellet to catch his fish and in the end was two carp off victory in his weight of 61-08. Completing the frame was Graham Ridgley who fished peg 14 and who also caught carp in his weight of 28-08.
Todays winner lake owner John Bennett.

Until our next report tight lines Eddie, Simon and John.
For the people who have not seen me for a while i am currently working in Jersey and Guernsey and i will be back soon together with super X4 2011 batch and my trademark Bandana so dont worry my season battle with John will be starting soon.
My hotel by the marina its a tough life
Now wheres my boat then ?.
For something special .
It was certainly very chilly, I shall from now on refer to peg 32 as “The Wind Tunnel” BBBRRRRR!
It was good to get back to the lake and get some fresh air in my lungs, caught one around 16lb so well worth the winter wait (on my new £10 quiver rod, what do you mean Cheapskate). New Pink Drennan Laccy was rubbish only hooked one and it got away, mind you I suppose that could have been my fault for being a bit rusty!
I actually got to use my platform for the first time too, only had it 2 years.
Back next Wednesday when it will hopefully be a bit warmer.
i bet it it was nice to have a change of peg mick with not far to walk instead of your usual peg 16 cheapskate hoping to get to the lake myself soon hope eddies not overdoing at work
It has been said in the past that I will happily walk to any peg, but run to peg 16!
I suspect Eddie will want to stay there as long as possible!
heard a rumour that while eddie was photographing the boats above was wearing his bandana and was aproached about appearing in the next pirates of the caribbean film so look out for him in that one hes jack sparrows dad
More like Jack Sparrows Granddad!
Ooh argh me hearty’s, pieces of meat, pieces of meat.
