Rolfslake Wednesday Open 24th April 2013.
The fish are on the move.
Todays match was held in the big lake but there were fish every where today with every peg in the small lake either having fish in the margins or up in the water so signs were good for all the anglers. The fastest fish hooked today was in 2 seconds and eventually landed by Andy Quarmby on peg 24 even before most of the anglers had even shipped out so things were looking good for Andy as he eventually went on to win the match with his weight of 177-04 fishing a combination of long fishing shallow and 7 metres fished on the deck both lines fished with 8mm hard banded pellet feeding 3 bags of pellet to get the fish feeding properly.
Todays winner Middy sponsored Andy Quarmby.
Andy had fish to double figures which always helps and also a couple of bream but missed a few bites due to the amount of fizzing bubbles in his swim but a slight adjustment of his tactics kept the fish coming to claim the peg king off Johnny Broadbent { well done Andy }. The close battle for second was between Paul Jay on 9 and Andy Rayment on 16 both fishing corn and pellet feeding pellet but Paul was fishing the bush to his right on 9 and Andy was fishing 16 metres shallow and after 5 hours the two were seperated by 11lb with Paul having 133-09 to Andy’s 122-07 which included a beast of 21lb plus.
Second place Paul Jay.
The lake fished alot better than of late with there being 5 ton plus weights and two just under in with the Jinx league fishing their two day match this weekend and the fish in feeding mode i think their match should be a cracker.
Just a few more photos from today.

Thanks for reading John, Simon and Eddie.
Well done to the framers.
Good to see the fish spreading out and the weights improving. Can’t wait to get back 😀
I think they have spread out cos those frisky Pike have been chasing them around.
Cant wait Cuckoo Cuckoo.
Mick Jones stays away and it fishes its head off…..
Mick Jones fishes friday festival practise match and everyone blanks, he goes home, festival 200lb weights
king of the jinx 😉
And the good news is……….. I wont be there next Wednesday either, so fill ya nets!
About time PJ caught a few, it must be getting easier!
the 2 pike were in under the bush in 23 crashing about all day yesterday Mick. I thought Kev on 22 was bagging
they were looking for you…..
we’re ok, it’ll be hard again next week cos jinx no2 mr newbold is coming
Mr N was a bit rusty last week (quite nimble at chasing pole sections down the bank though) so I am expecting better from him next week.
you’re not wrong Mick, fished like a clown that day. Be back soon hopefully, work permitting!
Why does work always go mental when the fishing gets better?
i think what it was Mick, he only goes pleasure fishing and I think the pressure got to him lol
