Gary Horn Invitation Match Thursday21st April 2011

Today saw 20+ anglers come down to Rolfslake for Gary Horns Invitation Match. The weather was a warm sunny day and the anglers were spread in both the small and big lake with most anglers wanting to draw pegs 8 or 18 as they had shown really good form of late.

My website partner Simon was down on the lake fishing today and he told me after a slow start the fish went on the feed as it got later with many big fish putting in an appearance around the lake which is a good sign for the forthcoming Good Friday open and the Easter Festival.

Saturday 16th April 2011 Open Match

Waiting for the draw

 

The weather down the lake today was nice and sunny but as the match progressed it went cloudy. Very little wind on the lake today.

15 anglers turned up today for the open match. John had pegged to the little lake and the bowl and peg 14 and 16 in the big lake. There was also 2 pleasure anglers on the carp park bank.

Fishing today was from 12.15 to 5.15.

The actual fishing was quite hard going today. Everyone caught but it was very slow going. John on peg 16 was catching steady off the bush to his left but started catching regularly in the last hour of the match. Andy on peg 40 had been fishing shallow at 14.5 meters and had been picking fish off through out the match but could not put a good run of fish together. Simon on peg 7 had caught from the 6 meter line at the start of the match and then switched to fishing the bomb to the far bank but could only get a bite right next tot he bank in the cut out.

Nick Horn on peg 32 was picking up the odd carp from the bush and Simon Enticott on peg 9 started finding a few fish in the last hour also. Mick Hughes was catching from peg 4 along with Ernie on peg 38. Everyone else was struggling for bites. The lake fished pretty much the same as last Saturday.
