Cold weather slows down the fishing .

Today saw a bumper turnout down the lake to hopefully catch one of the big weights that had come out of the lake recently as with two 300lb + winning weights and double tons and tons a plenty all the anglers were hopeful of a good days fishing. With both the big and the small lake in today and the pleasure anglers fishing the bottom of the small lake the pegging was cosy with 4,5,6,7 and 8 all together in the small lake making for little room and even no carp bay peg 11 had to be put in.

The match today would be decided on a main winner and then the top two in each section of 7 so you could even come third in your section to collect some money which was just as well as i had drawn little used peg 17 with the added pleasure of John on feature peg 18 so i was going to have a noisy day with the stick coming my way or was I ?. There were lots of carp in the middle of the big lake cruising around eating the fly hatch coming off the lake bed and they were not interested in bait but quite content in mouthing the anglers floats as they kept swirling around them. Today also saw the return of lake record holder Jon Walker who had drawn a short walk to peg 29 who was next to form angler Micheal Corsini on peg 31 who in turn had drawn next to his dad Paul on peg 32 so a threeway battle was on by the hut.

With the turnout boosted by the club anglers practising for their match on the Thursday it was amazing how they drew all the form pegs leaving the regulars on the standard pegs so at least they were in for a good days fishing hopefully catching a few big fish too.

Todays overall winner was Reading Angling Centres Geoff Edwards who was left with peg 5 in the draw bag and Geoff did a great job considering peg 6 was also in catching fish to double figures to record the only ton weight of the day. Geoff fished an 8 metre line slightly to his right in line with peg 38 and by fishing pellet and paste feeding pellet he was able to keep the fish coming to claim another win down the lake.

The car park bank section was won by John Walker who caught most of his fish fishing long and shallow on peg 29 with his weight of 85-15 and the  motorway bank section was won by me Eddie with 39-13 from peg 17.

With the weather due to stay consistent by cooler the fish should settle down again and get back into feeding mode ready for this weekends round of club matches.

 Results.

John Bennett is sunk by the Pirate.

With both John and I drawn next to each other it was never going to be quiet today as i had to stop his runaway lead in our seasons battle so it was interesting at the start who could feed the most down the edge of the same bush as we were both going to fish it only being 8 metres apart. The fishing was slow down our end of the lake with John catching 5 carp and losing 5  {one coming off at the net how sad } using both waggler and pole and me catching 4 carp and losing 3 but my carp were slightly bigger but only just.

There were lots of cruising carp out in the middle but you could not get them to feed so they were going to be safe today and between us we concentrated on fishing the edges to catch our fish and in the end I came out just on top with a win by just 2-05 to claim another point.

Jinx Night Match 10th May 2013.

Micheal Corsini the Prince of darkness comes good.

New King of the lake comes from the first night match of the year.

Tonight saw the first night match of the year which i was greatfull to get an invite { thanks Malc} which normally starts of the Jinx League series for the year. Todays weather started fairly warm getting overcast as the match went on ant the obligatory rain being followed by the temperature getting much colder by the end, and it was decided that the match would be fished in the small lake due to only having one generator to run the lights.

There was a rolling draw at 4 with a 7 o’clock start time fishing till midnight so plenty of time to set up for the anglers that had got to the lake early and i had to change my having the last peg in the bag as the last angler Malc did not turn up till 8 so on putting my hand in the bag i drew end peg 32 which i had not drawn for a couple of years so at least a short walk to my peg. Today also saw a return to Rolfslake of last years star angler Simon Mound who had come with Gemma and little Caitlin and Simon drew peg 18 also an end peg but with the wind blowing out from this area of the lake.

Some of the other anglers today had drawn challenging pegs most notably Neil Riddy who had drawn peg 11 in no carp bay but with also pegs 10 and 13 in was going to find this most difficult but for others it was flyers as usual especially Micheal Corsini who had drawn peg 9 and he was going to be my banter for the evening.

At 7 the all in was called and within three minutes i had caught the first carp of the match which was greeted by John Bennett giving the rest of the anglers a running commentary of who was catching which after half of an hour was most anglers. Micheal on peg 9 was in to fish on a regular basis and even Neil on carpless peg 11 had caught one so things were looking good. At 9 John put the light on due to a darkening sky and by 10.30 it was totally dark and also the motorway got quieter so it was a case of trying to get the fish to come close which most anglers did.

In first place was Micheal Corsini on peg 9 who gave a great demonstrating of fishing at short range towards the bush to his right as that bush was alive with fish but you still have to catch them which Micheal certainly did as fish after fish came to his landing net. Micheal used pellet hookbait feeding pellet to come the fish coming and he also had a run of big fish { Micheal had 24 weighers for 274lb on the board } but also got broke by a few fish which stopped him catching 400lb but after 5 hours put a fantastic weight of 364-14 to not only win but take the current king of the lake off Pete Archer and claim peg king for peg 9 { very well done Micheal }.

King of the lake Micheal Corsini.

In second place and a long way back was me Eddie who was also fishing the other end peg peg 32 but a distraction of chasing swirling fish down the edge cost me about an hour of only catching 3 fish when i should of been fishing my paste line as it was solid. I was fishing at 8 meters to my left just down the slope in the gap between the big and small lake and by using paste i had real quality bites and got smashed 3 times by real big fish but had to settle for my final weight of 260-05.

After Micheal the top performance of the night goes to Neil Riddy who was fishing no carp bay peg 11 and by fishing 3- 4 metres straight in front caught a great stamp of fish to 19lb and as i looked up from time to time i could see Neil going to the scales with another big fish and his board weight went 180lb plus and when added to his net fish went 208-10. Neil fished pellet and meat feeding pellet to not only catch the top weight from this peg for years but also claim the peg king for pwg 11 and show other anglers how good this peg can be.

Mick Jones with his first ever 20lb’er from the lake. Well done Mick

The anglers thouroughly enjoyed the experience of night fishing which is very kindly organised by John Bennett and just goes to show how good the fishing can be at Rolfslake.

Andy Quarmby wins again.

On arriving at the lake today I was greeted with a full car park due to match anglers and the 6 pleasure anglers cars so at least the fish were going to be feed.

Today was sunny with a little breeze blowing into the big lake and if you were on the motorway bank you were warm but on the car bank you definitley were not.

In a very close match today for first place was a battle between Andy Quarmby and Neil on pegs 32 and 8 , so it was going to be who could stop the fish going through the gap which was eventually won by Andy with his weight of 204-00 to Neil’s 189-04.

Andy fished peg 32 both out in front and down the edge to his left using pellet feeding pellet

which got Andy a good run of fish to double figures  in his weight of 204lb (well done Andy ).

Neil however had a harder job as he was fishing 16 metres across the gap by was also rewarded with big fish and also a couple of 4lb chub which you do not see that often again fishing pellet for his weight of 189-04.

Completing the frame on the next peg was Gary Kelsey on peg 7 and Gary used a combination of meat and pellet feeding pellet for his weight of 158-00.

Just to remind all our visitors there is a match this this Bank holiday Monday so if you are interested please phone John to book in.

Jinx League 2 day Pairs match Day 2.

King Clive takes over as King of the lake.

There will be a more comprehensive match report on the Jinx website, but John tells me today that the weather today was overcast with a blustery south westerly wind making it cold but the lake still fished considerably well.

In first place today and new king of the lake was Clive Pritchard fishing on peg 4 and by fishing the pole using corn and pellet i believe Clive caught a lot of weigher fish as he had 180lb on the board before the guys weighed his net fish for a total of 246-04 { very well done Clive }.

The tight battle for second was contested by John Holdsworth on peg 7 and Marcus Burgess on 8 which was won by John as his fish weighed 117-02 to Marcus’s 115-03 so they had a good match between themselves.

The guys seemed to have a good time down the lake and it wont be long before they are back to start their 6 match series and the tented village get sets up again although looking at facebook it looks like last night was pretty cold for the campers.
