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.

Round three Battle of the silvers.

Today saw the anglers return for round three of the pairs series down at Rolfslake where one angler fishes for carp and the other for silvers.

John tells me that today there was a slight southerly breeze but it was mild with lots of cruising carp in the small lake.

In today’s match the carp fishing was really hard with only 9 fish caught and the winner of the carp section was Andy Quarmby on peg 18 on the motorway bank with his weight of 29-14.

The real battle today was a silver fish shootout between the top five anglers in this section and the difference between fishing maggots and casters.

The top silver fish angler today and overall winner was Drennan sponsored Steve Waters on car park bank peg 30.

I cannot remember the last time a silver fish net won over a carp net but Steve managed this feat with a fantastic net of stamp roach today. Steve fished shallow fishing caster to keep the big roach coming and at the end of 5 hours weighed a brilliant 36-12 ( well done Steve).

In a very close battle for second was between Dan Blackwell and Anthony Flint on pegs 9 and 13 in the middle bowl.

I am not sure if Dan fished maggots but Anthony did to catch a smaller stamp of roach but both were kept very busy and in the end Anthony just beat Dan with his weight of 26-15 to Dan’s 26-06.

The silver fishing was brilliant today with 5 weights over 18lb in what was a highlight in the series to date.

The team winners on the day were Andy and Anthony who made an epic comeback from their horror 15 point score in the last round.

Steve and Derek are controlling the league at the moment closely followed by Dan and Gavin.

John will be holding a silvers only match on sunday 31st jan, draw 9-00 fish 10-00 to 3-00, call him on 07774618688 to book in and sample some of this superb silver fish action. Read more
