Round 6 the final countdown.

Today saw the final round of the spring series where anyone of 3 teams were in with a chance of Champions glory.

Today saw the anglers greeted with a cold blustery day with the wind coming from the East which made long distance pole fishing quite difficult and with the colder weather it also slowed the carp from feeding in any numbers.

The story of the day was both Andy and Anthony and Dan and Gavin needed the long time leaders Steve and Derek to draw bad and not catch which rarely happens. Both the chasing teams drew quite well with Andy drawing peg 38 the scene of his shocking result from round 2 but today won the silver section with a great silver weight of 24-13. Andy’s partner Anthony had a real struggle catching a solitary carp 1 minute from the end which weighed 7-13 and with that their chance of glory disappeared .

That left only one team to try and catch the leaders ( Dan and Gavin )and quite oddly drew next to each on pegs 13 and 14 and although both caught fish they ended near midway in their respective sections for a total of 8 points.

That left Steve and Derek having to have a nightmare to lose the series but as it has been for the previous 5 rounds they drew fair pegs and made the most of them with Steve winning the carp section from peg 7 with 46-14 and Derek coming 4th in his section.

With their total of 5 points today they could not be caught and won a very competitive series to be crowned Rolfslake Spring Pairs Champions 2016 ( well done guys ).

Another cold day down the lake.

Today saw the anglers return for round 5 and with three teams in with a real chance of winning the series it was imperative to have a good draw for both anglers.

The story of today saw the anglers in the carp section struggle for bites with the easterly cold wind and high water level putting the fish off feeding but Gavin Millis managed to secure a few for his weight of 23-10 and one point.

In the silvers section Steve Waters drew unpredictable peg 38 in the small lake and with the conditions favourable to fish the long pole Steve started by fishing just off the bottom rising to the top to catch roach on caster for a very good 26-08 and again beating the top carp weight.

As far as the teams on the day Dan and Gavin were top with 5 points to go joint 2nd in the league with both Andy and Anthony and Steve and Derek both scoring 6 points to keep the gap still at 6 points.

With only one round to go it would take a massive effort from the two chasing teams and a poor draw for Steve and Derek to really close the points gap but as we have seen already anything can happen.

Roll on round 6 in two weeks time.

Todays overall winner and silver section winner.
