Pairs Series round 2

Today saw the return of the 16 anglers fishing round two of the pairs series on a cold day down the lake.

John and Dai had worked tirelessly down the lake pumping out water and melting the ice which was at least an inch on Friday. By using the valuable areators to melt the ice it saved the anglers having to get out the ice breakers.

Considering the weather and results from other lakes the match fished quite well and tight in both carp and silvers section. The leaders from round 1 Andy and Anthony had one of the horror days fishing as both struggled to get many bites from pegs 38 and 14 and came back with a near maximum 15 point score.

The big winners on the day from two good pegs 22 and 13 were Steve and Derek who patiently made their good draws count. Derek fished the ever reliable silver peg 13 and caught a good quality bag of big perch and roach to win his section with 22-08 . Steve however was waiting right till the end to catch two units from his long 14.5 metre edge line which weighed nearly all of his 29-01 to record 4 team points.

The top weight of the day went to Steve Stayte who was fishing moody peg 34 but managed 6 carp and also lost a few for his weight of 46-07 which would of won most of the local matches in the area.

After round two the teams have now got closer together and the top 5 teams are now separated by 8 points and as today’s match has shown any team can have a nightmare day if you can’t get the bites.

Roll on round 3 this weekend.

Pairs winter series Round 1

Today saw the start of the Rolfslake 2016 pairs series down the lake. The series would see the teams fish one for carp and the others for silvers over 6 matches with the winner being the team with the lowest points score at the end, and in the event of a tie on points will be decided on weight.

There were 8 teams competing this year with the lake being split into two sections,  A Section was the carp section with pegs 7,14,16,18,22,24,26 and 34 making up this section with B section the silvers section being 9,10,13,28,30,32,36 and 38..

Today’s match saw two peg to peg battles to claim first place in both the carp and silvers section. The carp section saw Andy Quarmby and Geoff Bond battle it out on pegs 16 and 18 which was won by Geoff with his weight of 63-10 to Andy’s 60-10.

The silvers section saw two top silver fish anglers Steve Waters on peg 9 and Anthony Flint on 10 fish a really tight match with Anthony taking a big lead at the start catching roach up to a pound and then saw Steve make a great comback at the end managing to catch a few bream. After a tough wet 5 hours Steve put 19-08 on the scales but fell one roach short to Anthony’s 19-10 in a right scrap in the big lake.

After round one Andy and Anthony are top with 3 points with the chasing pack only 3 points behind.

Roll on round two.
