Rolfslake Saturday Open 3rd May 2014

 

Today saw a rare Saturday open due to club bookings taking over from now on and the 10 anglers today were hoping that with a sunny day the carp would have a proper feed but as usual the match saw plenty of carp cruising on top tempting the anglers to chase after them.

The anglers today were split into two sections one in the small lake and one in the big lake with pegs 38 and 32 swapping sections to make it fairer and as the all in was called you could see a few anglers trying to catch a quick carp from the surface. The next few hours would see the anglers catch a mixture of bream and carp but in no numbers with a few hooked and lost so a frustrating start for all except for Steve Wilson on peg 18 who was putting a good mixed bag of fish together.

In the last two hours the weather got a little overcast and with that a shadow was cast in the margins with a few more carp coming out with Toby Pope on peg 4 bagging down the edge who would eventually come second with his weight of 134-11 but was always playing catchup and in the end was 30lb off a match win but set a new PB in the process.

In first place was Steve Wilson on peg 18 who caught from a few places in his swim down the left hand edge, the bush to his right at short range and finally a line straight out in front and by fishing pellet he caught nearly 40lb of bream to go with his 120lb of carp to double figure { well done Steve }.

John has asked me to remind all visiting anglers to Rolfslake that no baits or liquids that leak colour into the lake are allowed as it affects water quality so if you are in any doubt please see John Bennett prior to the match to check.
