A very tough day down the lake

Today saw 7 anglers down the lake on a sunny mild day which was a bit of a suprise as it was probably the best weekend to date this year. The lake has currently been suffering with increased cold water covering the platforms and John and Pauline have been working very hard trying keeping the lake at a reasonable level. With the water being quite cold at the moment it seems it is affecting the carp into not feeding in any numbers at the moment and the lake was motionless during the match with no signs of carp in the big lake except for Kev Dolton who managed to catch the only carp of the day from peg 13 by fishing into the bay near peg 11.

The winner today was lake owner John Bennett who after searching for carp by fishing the bomb and corn then decided to fish for silvers and was rewarded with roach and at least 5 big perch to nealy 2lb plus a bream in his hard earned weight of 20-01 and well clear of the chasing pack. The race for second was won by Kev Dolton who managed a late carp to keep him just ahead of Doug Robinson with his weight of 13-12 to Dougs 13-01.

With the Easter festival fast approaching we expect the carp to switch on in the next couple of weeks as the weather is due to be more settled and the club match that was held on Sunday was won with 40lb plus and there were carp caught by a few of the anglers so things are starting to look up.

The festival places are now full with John now adding names to the reserve list so please can the remaining anglers that have booked please confirm your places in the next week or so { thank you }.

Cold and tough day down the lake.

Today saw a very tough day down the lake with only 8 carp caught and a few silvers if you were on the car park bank with the fish being put off by the additional cold water going into the lake and the hard frost the night before.

Todays match was won by Doug Hill who was fishing peg 18 in the top corner of the big lake and Doug caught his fish fishing the bomb into peg 19 using bunches of maggots and corn to catch his 6 carp to double figures for his final weight of 51-08 and the first victory down the lake { well done Doug }. In second place was John Bennett on peg 14 who managed 2 carp and a few silvers for his weight of 17-15closely followed by Pat Pritchard who was fishing peg 28 with an all silvers catch of 11-03.

The start of the Rolfslake Pairs Series 2015.

Today saw the anglers gathered down the lake on a cold but sunny January morning to start the 6 match pairs series which would see each of the anglers in their pairs fish for carp and the other for silvers in their respective sections.

The sections for the silvers were going to be 36 and 38 in the small lake and 9,10, 13, 28, 30 and 32 in the big lake. The carp section would be 34 and 7 in the small lake and 14,16,18, 22,24 and 26 in the big lake. In order to make things interesting the anglers that fish the carp section would also allow them to weigh in silvers so to eliminate blanks if the carp did not feed thus giving them a combined weight.

The first hour of the match would see only one carp caught from where i was sitting and that was Ernie on peg 26 but the silver anglers were straight into fish on most pegs with John on peg 9 and Anthony on 16 snaring an early bream each to start building their weights.

The winners of the two sections { Silver’s section } were Steve Palmer from peg 38 in the small lake who just held off Doug Robinson on peg 32 with his weight of 15-11 to Doug’s 15-10 and {Carp Section } John Hagues with a great weight on a cold day of 63-11 off peg 24.

For the final results of the day please see below.

A few photo’s from the day.
