Cove AC club match Sunday 9th September 2012.

 

Somethings never change down the lake. 

Today Rolfslake welcomed Cove AC down to the lake and the club also invited some of the lake regulars to make up the numbers ,but sometimes this becomes risky as local knowledge gives the anglers a head start. Today would also see the last of the warm and sunny weather as the future forcasts for next week predict heavy rain for most of the week so today could be the last chance of a big weight.

On phoning John with an hour to go he told me he was struggling with 5 fish from peg 6 but the anglers on pegs 40 and 2 were bagging as they have been on these pegs for the last 3 days so big weights were on the cards. The anglers also in the big lake were doing a little better of lake as the breeze blowing down into the small lake had died down and was now blowing fom peg 30 to 19 spreading the fish around so hopefully there would be some good weights to be had.

 

In first place today and continuing his hot streak was Simon Mound on my most hated peg 14 on the motorway bank and Simon continued his feed for one fish at a time policy which cuts out foulhooked fish resulting in his big weights of late. Simon started off shallow catching a few carp early and also 6lb of roach but when he decided to swap to fishing down the edge his swim went fish crazy. Simon fished both sides of his margin swims both to the bush on his right up and down the ledge and towards peg 15’s platform, and was rewarded with big fish to mid doible figures feeding pellet fishing banded 8mm pellets on the hook and after 5 hours put one of the top weights off this peg with 229-01 { well done Simon}.

In second place was Cove angler Maurice Woodley who was on Fridays winning peg , peg 40 and Maurice again had a good run of big fish to double figures in his weight of 171-10 with Stuart Yeomans only two fish behind with 155-09 from peg 8.

Just as a foot note John, Simon and me Eddie would like to thank all our visitors to Rolfslake.com as we have been up and running for 3 years now with this last year being our most successful with over 60,000 visits and around 1000 friends on our facebook page.

Rolfslake has now become a regular venue for magazine articles, National semi finals and a venue for both bait and tackle testing and this is due to the hard work that both John and Pauline and the fisheries team put in to ensure that the fish are in tip top condition and the fishery a lovely place to be at.

 

Thanks for reading John , Simon and Eddie
