Saturday knock up match.

20130501_140816

 

A sunny day down the lake.

With another Saturday very low attended match I decided with the other two anglers to choose 3 good pegs pegs 32, 7 and 5 to have a nice day fishing rather than sitting three anglers in a row.

Remembering it was November I was suprised just how warm it was as there were fish crashing all around the lake so things were looking good for a few bites and on that fact Rolfslake did not disappoint. Todays match was won by Steve on peg 32 who fished top two plus two straight out in front to catch his carp to double figures in his winning weight of 124-12 and a new PB {well done Steve }. In second place was Ernie Malyon on peg 7 who caught fish on bomb to the far bank long pole and down the edge but his fish were much smaller and I was sure Ernie had done 200lb as every time I looked up he had a fish on. Ernie fished pellet and corn to catch his fish on the deck but also suffered 8 lost fish. In third place was me who had an enjoyable if not frustrating match as i vowed to try and fish pellet and corn and caught a few bream but no carp but when i tried paste which I thought might not work the peg totally changed as i was smashed on 0.22 a couple of times foul hooked a few and missed bites you thought were impossible to miss with the pole being dragged around.

In the end I ended up with 72-04 which I suppose is not a bad for the first week of November.

 Place  Angler  Peg  Weight
 1st  Steve  32  124-12 PB  Rolfslake
 2nd  Ernie Malyon  7  113-08  Rolfslake
 3rd  Eddie Taylor-Green  5  72-04  Rolfslake

One thing for the winter league anglers this week is the lake is nowhere near winter mode as there were carp crashing in the margins sucking leaves off the top and generally wanted to have a feed so the dreaded A section might suprise a few people as the bottom end of the lake was black with fish so good luck to all fishing this weekend.

 

John tells me this Saturday the 8th of November the Open match is cancelled in preparation for the Sunday match.

Rolfslake Saturday Open 18th October 2014.

Report

Today saw a low attended open but with a few more weekend opens coming up this will hopefully change quickly as if todays match was anything to go by the fish are still happy to feed as the weather was still quite mild for mid October.

Today saw the anglers fish the middle bowl outside the cafe from pegs 9 round to 32 and with fish crashing around the lake hopes for a good days fishing would keep the anglers busy. With the all in called Kev Dolton on peg 9 was the first into fish but spent most of the 5 hours playng tug of war with the carp in the bush to his right. Steve Williams on peg 13 was also catching carp now and then until his pole broke on the fat end trying to pull for a break.

As for me i had the most frustrating day of the year so far as i hooked and lost fish after fish from the chanel on peg 32 as the wind had blown them into the gap but managed to land a few big carp which averaged 10lb each. Another reason to be frustrated was watching Steve Waters on peg 30 give me a right old battering on the next peg but also a masterclass of edge fishing by fishing to the platform on peg 29.

Steve fished 3 lines a short one to his left for the silvers but was smashed up by the carp, the second was a long line at 16 metres which gave him 3 carp and finally the third line tight to the bank by the platform which gave him the majority of his fish. With the rules being relaxed today in the regards of weighing fish so we could get a few photos and also all the anglers had to use multiple nets to give the big carp plenty of space it was amazing how many double figure fish Steve caught { about 15 out his 25 } and in what great condition they were in.

Steve fished corn hookbait feeding corn to keep the fish coming and was telling me there was little sign of fish in his swim but with his skill kept the fish coming for his final weight of 275-01 which in my book is a great weight for this time of the year { well done Steve on your win}

If you fancy fishing one of these opens please see the available dates at the top of the main page.
