Rolfslake Wednesday Open 8th February 2017

Carp very active in today’s match.

Today saw another low attendance in these midweek sweeps due to the cold weather.

The day was cold with very little wind and it was decided to have a walk off match so the anglers could choose there own flyer peg for five hours.

Today was the best match of the year and a very close one from both ends if the lake.

The winner but only just was Andy Rayment on form peg 18 on the motorway bank. Andy fished a combination of waggler and long pole down the left hand edge, fishing and feeding pellet for 10 carp for 92-06.

Very close behind with 9 fish but bigger fish was John Bennett fishing peg 38. Being handicapped with a sore shoulder John opted to fish bomb only with sweetcorn hookbait, which resulted in carp to 17lb in his weight of 90-08.

In third place was me on peg 14 for the 4th time in 5 weeks so I should of done better today. Fishing maggots and corn I managed 5 carp and lost 7 for my weight of 42-03.

As soon as the matches change to pm matches watch the weights rocket and it should only be a matter of time before the first ton weight is recorded.

Pictures from today’s match.

Today’s winner Andy Rayment.

Today saw a few anglers come down for a days fish hoping the ice had melted.

The day was milder than it had been which meant no ice breakers were required , but it rained for most of the day.

Today’s winner was John Bennett who was fishing motorway bank peg 16. John fish pole and corn feeding pellet to catch 3 carp and silvers for his winning Weight of 30 lb.

A few photos from today
