Yesterdays open match was very hard indeed. Only 5 people turned up due to the bad weather.
Everyone was struggling for bites. Dave Whiteman fishing from peg 9 came out on top with 59lb with John Bennett on peg 4 second with 42lb.
The pegs were black with fish before the match but once the match started the rain started and never stopped !
15 anglers turned up today, some were already at the lake having fished the night match last night. The draw took place and as predicted by Neil Riddy John Bennett opened his hand to reveal peg 8. That rainbow goes from peg 8 to peg 9 😀
Fishing today was from 1-05pm to 6-05pm. Fishing was also very hard today but Mick Jones was having no problems on peg 16 catching regularly from the bush on the right. Myself on peg 9 and Richard on peg 32 were suffering from major foul hook problems, both loosing 7 fish in a row.
On the car park bank Dave Whiteman on peg 26 and Del Smith on peg 29 both started catching well during the last half of the match but it was not enough to catch Mick up. John Hague on peg 11 was running past me with weigher after weigher.
John Bennett was also having a nightmare on peg 8, he had been catching ok in the first half of the match but then lost the fish for the last half without a single bite in the last 2 hours.
This was his last bite of the day 😀

The leaves are falling off the tree’s now at the lake and the temperature is falling meaning autumn is well and truly here.
The match was very hard going for most. On to the results…..

Well done to Mick, top result for the day. Peg 16 continues to be the place to be.
Mick Jones, a fine win on a hard day at the lake. Well Done.
Night time at Rolfs
9 anglers turned up to fish the night match at the lake. A few people were also camping over so they could fish the open match on Saturday. Some people had dropped out meaning we could all get on the big lake.
The draw took place and the normal flyer pegs 32 and 9 went to Marcus Burgess (budgie) and John Bennett.
The weather at the lake was cold and dark anyway but as the all in came at 7.45 it was dark already and the lights were turned on. First to catch was Neil Riddy on peg 23 who was fishing on the tip rod. Mark Chard on peg 10 was also right in to fish and had a very good start catching 6 or 7 fish in the first hour.
Budgie fishing on Peg 32 was a different story though, his first fish was a skimmer followed by a chub and was struggling to get the carp to bite like most of the other anglers. I had managed to get 4 carp in the net in the first hour fishing from peg 18.
The temperature dropped throughout the match to 2 degree’s. We had a small rain amount of rain before the mist rolled in. Justin Watkins fishing from peg 11 had started catching well along with John Bennett on his home peg 9 😀
The rest of the match was a complete struggle for most and everyone was very cold and eager to get round to have a warm by the BBQ by the end of the match. John had laid on some good food that was been cooked by master chief Dave Whiteman 😀
While the BBQ warmed up the weigh in was done but word was that Justin had won it and indeed he had. John thought he may have enough to beat him but was just a few fish short.

Neil Riddy had commented to John…. “Leave your gear round there as you will be on peg 8 tomorrow”
Neil was right too, John indeed drew peg 8 on the Saturday Open. More on that later…..
Well done to Justin, fine win on a hard match. 🙂 He also takes the Peg King for peg 11 😀

Well done to Pat Pritchard who won his First open match and beat his personal best match weight too. Phil Powell in second place also included a 22lb 12oz carp in his weight. Superb well done 🙂
