Just a reminder to all our vistors to Rolfslake.com that there will be a charity fund raiser down the lake tomorrow and everyone is welcome to come down and watch a selection of star anglers and regulars and first timers who will be raising money for the McMillan cancer support charity.

Firstly a massive thanks to the regulars who have pledged money so far it is much appreciated and i believe there will be 2 two and a half hour matches with a break in the middle where there will be a barbeque with the money raised also going towards the total.

There will also be a raffle with tackle prizes on the day so all the visitors have a chance to win a prize so even more reasons to come on down.

A note to all competitors please use the lake main entrance and to all spectators please use the entrance before the lake which will be signposted and there will be someone on the gate but please drive slowly.

Entrance for spectators will be £1 and if you would like to see anglers of the caliber of Steve Ringer, Steve Mayo and Martin Greene etc i am sure it will be a great day as it is due to be a nice day.

A massive thanks to Dai Thomas ,Paul Jay and John Bennett who have been working flat out getting the lake ready for tomorrow and it looked fantastic when i was here this evening.

To all have a fantastic days fishing.

Thanks for your support Eddie,Simon and John.

Tumbley Bay A.C Club match 15th July 2012

Rolfslake welcomes another member of the 300lb club.

Today Rolfslake welcomed Tumbley Bay angling club down to the lake and as they were short of a few people they invited a few of the regulars and some of the Jinx league anglers who were still there from Saturday.

Today was a mild day with very little wind and the anglers today were greeted by the usual sight of plenty of cruising fish and feeding fish by the look of the bubbles coming from the bottom which normally gets the club anglers excited with thoughts of big weights, and today Rolfslake did not disappoint.

Lovely bubbly

 

It was decided by match organiser Paul Bennett that today the lake was going to be split into two sections ,section A being from pegs 34 to 8 and section B was from 9 to 32 so there were the top two in both sections to play for. The good news for me was that John and myself had drawn as far away from each other as possible as he had drawn peg 22 and me 34 so it was going to be a quiet match for a change and at 10.30 the all in was called.

The story of the match was after a slowish start the fish started to feed both in the big and small lake and there were some big carp caught today topped by Michael Corsini who caught a big 21lb common caught on the tip from peg 7 but there were lots of big doubles caught from most anglers all around.

The big story of the day was from peg 16 on the motorway bank where Rolfslake.com co-owner Simon Mound was going after Geoff Edwards king of the lake title but after a poor first 2 hours just fell short. Simon today was fishing the right hand margin after dabbling with fishing the bush to his left and a straight out line with very little success but when he turned his attention to the right hand margin for the last 3 hours and could not believe it as he had a big shoal of carp waiting for him. Simon fished half way down the purple bush fishing on the deck with his tried and tested 8mm hard banded pellet and caught about 35 carp to 17lb { Simon’s board weight went 168lb }.

By keeping he bait moving Simon kept the bites coming and even with the repeated stick he was getting from Randolph and Mortimer aka John Bennett and Geoff Edwards he continued to catch and after a busy 5 hours put a fantastic and rare 315lb on the scales for not only his first 300lb but also a personal best weight { very well done Simon }.

Second in Simon’s B section was Laurence Bloomfield who was fishing form peg 9 and by fishing the bush to his right fishing pellet on the deck Laurence caught fish to double figures for a great weight of 155lb which on any other day could of won this match.

A section was won by Michael Corsini who was fishing peg 7 . Michael started on the tip catching his 21lb common early but also added a few more and then switched between a 6 metre line straight out in front and a margin swim towards peg 8 which added more carp to his final weight of 135-08 by fishing pellet fished on the deck feeding pellet to continue his good form { well done Michael }. Only a small fish behind was Paul Bennett who was on back bank peg 2 and by fishing down the edge fishing paste managed to keep the carp coming to only end up just short of a section win with his weight of 134-00.

The regulars would like to thank Tumbley Bay for their invitation to fish in what turned out to be a memorable and enjoyable day.

 

Its not Freddie Kruger or Edward Sissorhands.
Its Simon Mound raking up the pound side bets from Bennett and Edwards.

Cove AC club match 8th July 2012

Leave a comment

 

Today Rolfslake welcomed Cove A.C down to the lake and John tells me that on a humid day with the wind changing in direction from Saturday and today blowing into the big lake towards pegs 19 and 20 and with it the blossom that was lying on the lake was drawing the fish in this direction as they were trying to eat it so the end pegs 16 and 26 were the place to be.

In first place today was Maurice Woodley who was drawn on peg 16 and today Maurice made the most of his draw catching fish to double figures in his weight of 243-08 to be nearly 100lb in front of second place. In second place was lake regular Mick Chappell who drew the other end peg { peg 26 } and again caught his share of double figure fish in his weight of 154-12.

Rolfslake’s 4th night match 6th July 2012

Just a bit of rain during tonights match.

Tonight saw the third night match of the year down the lake and the thirteen brave anglers had to endure a flooded road down in the town and rain during the match after the cloud burst of rain earlier in the day. With a rising lake making life difficult for the anglers tonight, you wanted a draw on the carpark bank around the junction of the big and small lake as most of the carp seemed to want to feed in this area.

In first place tonight was Middy sponsored angler Andy Quarmby who tonight completed his second victory in his second night match and tonight was fishing form peg 9 on the motorway bank. John tells me that Andy fished a short 6 metre line fished on the deck using pellet hookbait. With the chasing pack keeping up with Andy it required fish to double figures to keep him ahead and after a tough 5 hours Andy put a very good 256-08 to seal yet another victory { well done Andy }.

Tonights winner Middy sponsored Andy Quarmby { photo taken during a day match }.

In second place was Paul Jay two pegs down on peg 7 who kept up with Andy but in the end fell 3 carp behind but still recorded another good weight of 232-04 to keep his good form going. Completing the frame was Mick Jones who again was fishing his favourite peg 10 { Mick has drawn this peg just a few times } and again had big fish to double figures in his weight of 178-08.
