The carp make a welcome appearance on a really cold day.

Today saw 9 anglers come down to fish the last match of 2016 on a really cold day,

I think the car temperature gauge said -2 degrees.

With a walk off agreed all the anglers went to their chosen pegs it was a matter of just being patient and waiting for the bites to come.

The main story of the match was young 12 year old  Samuel Worrall fishing his first match on his first ever fishing trip with his dad Martin on peg 18 and Grandad Gordon on 16. Anyway Samuel who was fishing the bomb and corn out in the middle of the lake had 4 bites and 4 big carp for 40-01 to beat dad and grandad and pick up second in the match.

There were plenty of carp hooked and lost as the fish have now got acclimatised to the cold water as John on 34 lost 5 and Jack on 30 lost 5.

In first place was me (Eddie) who had picked solid winter peg 14 for my troubles and I had a rather exciting 5 hours. After a slow 30 minutes and with no carp being caught I decided to try and catch a few silvers and to my shock first bite and I was attached to a carp on my 3 metre whip. 1 minutes later the fish surfaced and was netted in a flash all 13-08 of it.

Thinking it was a fluke I went back in and my second bite was met with solid resistence but not from a carp but a massive 4lb plus perch which gave me two attempts to net it before destroying the rig.

Anyway after that I managed to catch 4 more carp and 2 big perch also losing 9 carp for my final weight of 50-01.

Festive fun down the lake.

On probably the last Christmas match to be held at Rolfslake under the current ownership of John and Pauline Bennett, 23 anglers came to enjoy the annual festivities.

With the carp not feeding in any numbers and the match being decided on total weight and not a split pool it was carp or bust for today.

I was on peg 38 and had the amusing pleasure of seeing Michael Corsini lose 13 carp on peg 2 which would of won him the last 10 matches let alone this one.

The winner today on a hard day was Jim McCann who was fishing peg 16 , who had big carp to 15llb in his weight of 78-15.

Along way back in second place was Martin Worrall on peg 14 who also had big carp in his weight of 38-14.

The anglers would like to thank John and Pauline for their hospitality and food buffet arranged after the match it was much appreciated.
