Ashton Angling Club match 6th June 2010.
Today Rolfslake welcomed Ashton A.C down to the lake from the midlands area and the anglers were hoping that the fish had stopped spawning and were willing to have a feed as the Jinx league match yesterday was really tough.
John tells me that 25 willing anglers set off to their pegs only to find the fish still spawning in the margins so it was very difficult to know what the fish wanted today either a cautious approach or to just to thrash the bait in and suffer plenty of foul hooked fish and very little to show for it. The weather was very warm with a cool breeze and the anglers with a ripple on the water did slightly better that those with flat water in front of them.
The winner today was Jay Davis fishing peg 7 in the gap between the big and small lake and Jay used a combination of the feeder and the pole to put together a very good weight of fish and big fish too catching fish to double figures in Jay’s final bag of 171-08 { well done Jay }. In second place was Andy Morrison on peg 32 by the hut who fished short range 5 -6 metres and down the edge using banded again catching big fish in his weight of 131-04. Completing the frame was Mark Bedford on peg 4 who suffered plenty of lost fish but in the end lined them down the edge to his right using pellet hook bait to catch his weight of 104-14.
John would like to thank all the anglers and hope to see them again soon.
