4TH PEG  9 WAYNE PARKER 10-6 (2 SMALL CARP)

5TH PEG 18 JOHN BENNETT 9-12 ( INCLUDING 1 SMALL CARP)

I WILL ADD ANOTHER PLACE WHEN I CAN FIND THE REPORT SHEET

 

Just to bring you back to earth.

John tells me that the anglers endured another tough day down the lake with a north westerly wind blowing across the lake from the car park again switching most of the carp off from feeding. There were a few carp caught today and they were big { Paul Jay caught one at 17lb } which is typical for this time of the year down the lake as the small carp of 8lb switch off and the big ones feed.

Todays winner was John Bennett who was pegged by the tea ern ,i mean peg 30 and he caught 3 carp for 31lb and 10lb of silvers by fishing the bomb with corn and the pole with corn and maggot to catch a mixed bag of carp to 16lb and bream for his winning weight of 41-04.

Results.

Place	Angler	Peg	Weight
1st	John Bennett	30	41-04
2nd	Paul Jay	26	28-12
3rd	John Draper	28	17-04
4th	Steve Williams	24	6-15

On a final note i hope you all got a chance to watch fishing gurus that was screened yesterday on Sky Sports featuring Dean Macey filmed down at Rolfs lake a couple of weeks ago. On a very cold day Dean fished a roving style on both the method { only allowed for this feature } and the float and all the carp he caught were in fantastic condition and all double figures { well done Dean}.

At times you might not catch lots of carp down Rolfslake but the ones you do will be in mint condition and fight like crazy.

Thanks for reading John, Simon and Eddie.

These were obviously taken in warmer times down the lake….. Whilst sorting out the photobucket account I found these pictures which I had not seen before and thought I would share them.

I think Eddie may have taken them. Some cracking pictures of future anglers (maybe)

But who is this man teaching them 😛  😀

A super hard day down the lake .

Today the anglers were greeted with a hard frost and cold weather which put the carp totally off feeding , and with the anglers hoping to catch at least one carp in a match carp carp lake wasted far to much time for no end result.

The winner today was Steve Waters who would of won the match without the 15lb carp he caught just before the end of the match because he had already caught nearly 14lb of  roach and skimmers fishing worm and maggots and he believes had he not wasted time trying to catch the carp he could of caught near to 30lb as there were plenty of silvers out there. After 5 hours Steve weighed 28-15 and beat his nearest rival by 20lb { well done Steve ].

In second place was Mick Chapell fishing motorway bank peg 18 and by fishing long down the edge towards peg 19 he managed to keep puting silvers into his net and one big perch of 2-08 which on a day like today was a big bonus in his weight of 8-03. The three way battle for third was eventually won by Adam Griffiths on peg 13 with his two big bream helping him to his final weight of 6-03.
