Rolfslake Easter Festival 2014. Day 3.

9 comments

Day 3 report.

On a thrilling last day down the lake anyone from 8th upwards were in with a shout of winning this years Rolfslake festival and you could feel the tension as the draw was called. With the leading three anglers after two days Steve Waters, Mick Lane and Mark Newbold fishing different sections { the dreaded A section for Steve, B section for Mick and the consistent C section for Mark } it was imperative that they avoided a poor performing peg and luckily they did that with Steve drawing peg 4 in the small lake and Mark peg 18 on the motorway bank in the big lake but Mick had drawn not a great peg in peg 28.

The rest of the anglers thought that the result was a done deal between Steve and Mark but how wrong they were as both the anglers struggled during the first part of the match whilst the chasing pack were closing in with Jon Walker leading the way in A section on peg 38 , Malc Doyle was way ahead  in B section with Mick Lane struggling and in C section Andy Quarmby was dominating this section with a great display of shallow fishing and at this point Mark was way down in the section as both Phil Powell on 22 and Micheal Corsini on 25 were also putting together ton plus catches from their pegs.

At the half way point it was too hard to call as Liam Bough and Jon Walker were both ahead of Steve in A section ,Mick Lane was well down in B section and Mark was lying at least 4th in C section so the winner could come from the remaining 6 anglers so a tense last half was to reveal all.

The final part of the match saw the the lake change again as the weather turned cooler and suddenly a switch by Steve to add a few silvers to his catch whilst the rest went all out to catch carp was a master stroke as he reeled in both Liam and Jon and Dave on peg 5 to win the section by 2lb and claim that magical 1 point for his total of 4 points. Mick Lane the only other angler on 3 points had to win his section to tie with Steve but alas he came 4th giving him a total of 7 points with Mark in C section overhauling both Phil and Micheal to come second and claim two points giving him a total of 6. The dark horse on day 3 was Malc Doyle who after his section win on Saturday had a tough draw on Sunday costing him 5 points but a brilliant recovery on Monday gave him a section win and a total of 7 points.

After all the weights were checked and verified the outcome was a deserved win and Rolfslake Champion for Steve Waters who fished very well over the three days with his combined weight of 371-10 and 4 points closely followed by Mark Newbold with 355-12 and 6 points and in third place and well deserved was Malc Doyle and his weight of 404-07 and 7 points.

Rolfslake 2014 Easter Festival Champion. Steve Waters.

From left to right MicK Lane 4th, Champion Steve 1st, Mark Newbold 2nd, Jon Walker 5th and finally Malc Doyle 3rd.

John has asked me to appologise to the anglers who were waiting for the food at the end but with the distractions of the morning this was overlooked and John will sort the anglers with a bag of pellet to cover the £2 that was collected per angler for food..

The future of next years Festival is under review but I would like to say a MASSIVE thanks to John and Pauline for hosting the event and their hospitality during the 4 days and for Paul Jay for his help in helping John prepare the cabin for the festival and his help with weighing in fish and marshalling the event.

Also a big thanks to Ann and Annette for their help in helping with the breakfast in the morning.

John hopes to see the visiting anglers soon.

Rolfslake Easter Festival 2014. Day 2.

One comment

Day 2 report . Today the returning 24 anglers were greeted with a much colder day with wind and rain also expected so talking to John he tells me that the catches were much lower than yesterday with the exception of Steve Waters on peg 18 who put together a great weight of 184-12 from peg 18, John Bennett on peg 22 with 150-07 and Jon Walker who also caught over a ton with his weight of 114-10 from peg 23. The current leader of the festival is Steve Waters with 3 points but has to fish the dreaded A section tomorrow with Mick Lane also on 3 points but has a better chance as he is fishing B section but they are hotly pursued by 5 other anglers who are are 2 and 3 points behind so it should be an exciting day 3 down the lake tomorrow. Come back to see who will be crowned Rolfslake Easter Festival 2014 Champion. I will be posting more photo’s as they become available.

Current Festival leader Steve Waters.

Rolfslake Easter Festival 2014 Day 1

One comment

 

 

Today saw the start of the Rolfslake 3 day Easter Festival and with a sellout 24 anglers were hoping to be crowned2014 champion which was won last year by Middy sponsored angler Andy Quarmby.

Before the start John read out all the rules and one major change was that all fish were to be retained in the keepnets with a maximum 100lb net limit and any angler exceeding this would be deducted a penalty weight by how much you were over deducted from the weight limit of 100lb.

With draw called all the anglers made their way to the random draw which would decide the sections for the next three days and quite quickly the anglers called A section the section of death as it had all the big weight specialists in this section so they would be taking points of each other. As for the other two sections B and C it also had class anglers in them but were deemed to be more fairer so this was going to be a great battle.

The winner of A section today was Mark Newbold on peg 34 in the small lake and Mark had an eventful match but softened with a massive carp of 20-04 in his eventual weight of 161-06. B section was a very close battle by two of Rolfslake’s serial match winners Steve Waters and Dave Whiteman which would be eventually won by Dave with his weight of 112-11 to Steve’s 110-01 but Steve will rue the many lost fish on peg 9 today.

Mark Newbold with a common of 20-04

The star angler of the day was Malc Doyle on little favoured peg 17 and Malc put on a master class of short range paste fishing on his top kit to record the top weight of the day with 244-01 topped with a big common of 20-09 amongst his many othe big doubles.

Malc Doyle with his common carp of 20-09.

Tomorrow the anglers move to the next section in their sequence hoping to either repair the damage caused by todays results or push forwards for another good days fishing.

Come back tomorrow for days 2 results.

Also i will be posting some more photo’s from todays match.

Chris Telling with his common of 18lb.
