Steve Wilson make it two wins in three days with a new PB.

John tells me there were only 8 anglers on todays match but they all had a great days fishing with the 8 anglers averaging 193lb each in what was bagging fest.

The winner today was Steve Wilson fresh from his win on Saturday and this time from peg 8 where Steve fished down the track fishing pellet feeding pellet to catch his mixed bag with carp to double figures in his final weight and new PB of 303-14 { very well done Steve }. In second place was lake owner John Bennett who today showed what he can do if he draws a half decent peg and today peg 5 was that peg with plenty of big carp coming from his short range line and John ended up 8lb clear of third place with his weight of 237-07. In third place was Micheal Corsini down on peg 40 at the bottom of the small lake and who worked hard putting together a mixed bag of fish for yet another 200lb weight today this time 229-07.

Mick Wilkinson on peg 4 had a mixed day with breaking two top kits ,catching a PB common carp at Rolfs of 21lb and catching 63lb of bream in his final weight of 229-07 { well done Mick }.

With the weather being settled  i expect the first 400lb weight to come out of Rolfs for a few years in the next two weeks with of course the right angler on the right peg as the carp are really feeding well but so are the bream as we have had weights in the last few days of 38lb , 40lb and now 63lb for anglers mainly fishing for carp so a suprise 100lb of silvers could be on the cards as these fish average about 3lb a piece and love pellet at the moment so who knows.

Thanks for reading John, Simon and Eddie.

Today saw a rare Saturday open due to club bookings taking over from now on and the 10 anglers today were hoping that with a sunny day the carp would have a proper feed but as usual the match saw plenty of carp cruising on top tempting the anglers to chase after them.

The anglers today were split into two sections one in the small lake and one in the big lake with pegs 38 and 32 swapping sections to make it fairer and as the all in was called you could see a few anglers trying to catch a quick carp from the surface. The next few hours would see the anglers catch a mixture of bream and carp but in no numbers with a few hooked and lost so a frustrating start for all except for Steve Wilson on peg 18 who was putting a good mixed bag of fish together.

In the last two hours the weather got a little overcast and with that a shadow was cast in the margins with a few more carp coming out with Toby Pope on peg 4 bagging down the edge who would eventually come second with his weight of 134-11 but was always playing catchup and in the end was 30lb off a match win but set a new PB in the process.

In first place was Steve Wilson on peg 18 who caught from a few places in his swim down the left hand edge, the bush to his right at short range and finally a line straight out in front and by fishing pellet he caught nearly 40lb of bream to go with his 120lb of carp to double figure { well done Steve }.

John has asked me to remind all visiting anglers to Rolfslake that no baits or liquids that leak colour into the lake are allowed as it affects water quality so if you are in any doubt please see John Bennett prior to the match to check.
