Rolfslake on Wednesday 16th January 2012.
Today there were no takers for the open as the lake water was not only high it was also iced over in places. John had done a great job keeping an area ice free in the middle of the lake by using the areators to disperse water onto the ice to melt it and it worked a treat allowing John, Paul and myself a chance to have a silvers match only fishing pole and a maximum 6 metres which to John meant 12 metres ,Paul 8 metres and me 6 metres { so much for rules }.
The little match was to last 4 hours as it was -6 degrees on accu weather but there were bites to be had fishing maggots on the deck with all of us catching roach { John caught one at about 1-08 } and some nice big perch and towards the end John was catching down the edge. I was so cold i had to stop fishing as my feet were frozen from having my boots in the water but returned to catch a few more roach and gudgeon.
Paul on peg 29 and John on peg 30.
At the weigh-in John ended up the victor with 12-10, Paul had 6-02 and i had 5-03 what was an enjoyable day if not very cold thank god the tea earn was in good use today { thanks John }.
Todays winner John with 12-10.
Thanks for reading John, Simon and Eddie
You brave souls.
I was expecting the result to be,
1st Jane Torvil
2nd Chris Dean
3rd Robin Cousons.
Today I am mainly snow shovelling around the Shopping Centre. (Keeps me warm!)
soft git! whats wrong with you
42 carp hooked today by my reckoning
not bad considering
Thats not bad going Andy.
although there were 2 blanks, it wasnt too bad
27-31 was grim though
but considering water was 3oC there were miles more carp hooked than I expected Ed, I expected about 4 to be hooked and all fouled
we can vouch for that a Steve? Proper grim.
Glad i’m snow boarding this weekend !!
Snow is good for snow boarding funny enough
Not so good for fishing!!
our bank was worse lol 3 blanks and 11oz got you 5 points
least you had silvers
