Night match brings land of the giants.

Tonight saw only the second night match of the year down at Rolfslake. Some of tonight’s 9 anglers were staying down for Neil Riddy’s two day mini Festival.

The match was split into two sections pegs 4,5,7,9 and 10 and the second section 32,27,24 and me on 22.

These matches start at 7pm finishing at midnight and the anglers tonight caught big fish to 19lb and lost many foul hooked fish.

The funny thing from where I was fishing was as it got really late 10.30 pm and the motorway quietened down, all you could hear was swearing from various pegs as anglers lost fish.

Tonight’s match ended up in a three way battle between John Bennett on peg 5 , Andy Quarmby on peg 10 and Anthony flint on peg 32.

The eventual winner and only just was John Bennett on super form peg 5 . John fished a top two plus one fishing paste and feeding 4 bags of pellet which saw John catch fish to 16-08.

John also had his struggles losing fish breaking rigs and missing loads of bites but still came out on top with 223-10.

In a very close battle for second were friends Andy Quarmby and Anthony Flint although they still managed to hurl abuse at each other across the lake.

Andy was claiming he did not have 200lb and he was correct as he had 199-11 but was pipped by Anthony as he had 214-04.

In what was an enjoyable but frustrating match only 2 fish separated first and third and there were plenty of bites to be had.

With the fish still feeding well I still expect a massive weight to be caught before it gets colder, so if you fancy a big weight get down to the lake in September.

Carp go on a feeding frenzy in today’s match.

Today saw a much better attended match with anglers hoping to catch one of the recent bumper weights.

With the green algae still evident on the water surface it seems to of triggered the carp to feed.

Continuing on from his win on Monday Andy Quarmby won today’s match from peg 14 on the motorway bank.

On talking to Andy he told me that he has never had so many carp in his peg at Rolfslake  and lost quite a few today.

Andy started at 6 metres and caught a quick 50lb at the start but with the peg fizzing like crazy Andy came in on a top 2 plus a short 4 and his catch accelerated.

He fished on the deck fishing a 8 mm pellet on the hook feeding 6mm and caught 21 carp and 6 bream for a winning weight of 221-07 (well done Andy ).

There was a battle for 2nd from Frank Donachie on peg 18 and Martin Worrell on peg 34 which was won by Frank with 181-01 to Martin’s 166-03

September brings some massive weights down the lake as the fish go on a feeding frenzy before it starts to get cooler.

If you want a great days fishing try and get down on one of the midweek matches and have some fun.

Thanks for reading John Simon and Eddie.

The big carp still on the feed.

Today saw a much better attendance with the warm weather drawing a few more anglers out.

With the recent run of big weight there is still a chance of a 3 or 400lb weight still on the cards.

Today saw a 3  peg battle between Charlie Bishop on peg 7, Anthony Flint on peg 5 and Andy Quarmby on end peg 4.

Being in the big part of the lake and with fish more content on cruising in the warm water I could not see what how the three were doing.

The winner today and coming back into form was Andy Quarmby on peg 4. Andy fished a few lines ,a long shallow line and long edge line and ending up fishing really close. He used pellet hookbait feeding pellet to catch his carp and still managed to lose a few in his winning weight of 241-04.

There was a very close battle for second place  between Charlie Bishop on peg 7 and Anthony Flint on peg 5. Charlie was at least 9 carp ahead of Anthony coming into the last 2 hours, but a massive effort by Anthony would see him close that gap to one fish at the end.

At the scales Anthony weighed 167-12 only to see Charlie weigh 177-13 and claim second place.

Spare a thought for John Bennett on peg 13 who had 52-08 on the board after a strong run of fish at the end of the match, and when we went to weigh him in his net was gone.

These fish are so full of energy that they pulled his net in and all escaped costing him 4th place.

Big weights still on the cards.

Today saw a low attendance which is amazing considering the big weights of late but it still took another 200lb weight to win the match.

Todays winner was inform angler Anthony Flint who today was drawn on peg 13 on the motorway bank. Anthony started on a 6 metre line which resulted in a small skimmer but fishing was very slow.

Anthony then tried his margin to the left at a range of 4 metres but only had 6 carp but there were too many liners. He then fished right close to the bank which was only 18 inches deep and nevery looked back, catching another 23 carp for his winning weight of 253-14 ( well done Anthony).
