Category: Open Match

The carp are on spawning round 2.

Today on a rare Saturday Open at Rolfslake which saw sunny conditions and large groups of fish chasing each other, making it difficult for the anglers to catch them.

Today’ winner today Robert Rayment actually came from peg 4 and not form peg 8 for a change.

Robert caught his carp from various parts of his swim either down the edge or at short range to amass his winning weight of 90-00 ( well done Robert).

Robert won by one carp from the chasing Neil Fenner and Paul Herel in a very close match today.

One the carp have spawned again expect weight to rocket as they usually do and the first 300lb weight won’ be far away.

A sunny day down the lake.

Today saw 12 anglers fish the open match on a sunny warm day down the lake.

It looked like the carp were still spawning as they could be seen still swimmng around in big groups.

Today’ winner fishing form peg 8 was Steve Wilson who fished a combination of 16 metre actoss and by the danger zone bush to his left. Steve had around 10 carp to double figures for his weight of 74-02 to win todays match ( well done Steve).

In a close battle for second was me on peg 30 and Pete Archer on peg 10.

We both struggled for the first 3 and a half hours but a switch to fishing shallow saw Pete put together a nice run of carp,  fishing pellet for his weight of 57-10.

Me (Eddie) struggled for far to long on the 10 metre line catching only 1 carp and losing 4, but a switch to fishing the pallet on 29 saw me catch another 5 carp. My weight of 6 carp and 1 bream went 58lb to beat Pete by 6 ounces in our close battle.

All my fish were caught on So Simple GRP paste whilst Pete caught his on the same companies Gonuts pellet.

I would expect to fish to have a proper feed once the spawning has finished and that could be this Wednesdays match.
