Easter Festival 2013 Day 2. 31st March 2013
King of the lake for 2013 smashed by Andy Quarmby.
John tells me that today when he got out of the caravan the entire lake was cover in ice up to 10mm due to the minus 3 degrees temperature last night.
His first job was to board the boat and break the ice up giving the anglers half a chance of a good days fishing which is a shame after a promising start to the festival, but as the first anglers arrived most of the swims were fishable { well done John }. The day started with bright sunshine but due to the floating ice the match was delayed by an extra 15 minutes to give the anglers a chance to set up and clear some floating ice out of the lake. Just as the all in was called the weather changed as it got cloudier and much colder and with a swirling wind made for fishing the long pole a much more difficult option.
John also tells me that a few anglers were into fish straight away and that there were quite a few carp lost too as it was very cold making it a challenge for the anglers with cold hands and there were also some tackle breaks making it also an expensive day. The small lake again was a challenge for those anglers targeting the carp and yesterdays top two anglers { Kevan Orr and Geoff Edwards} on day one slumped to 3rd and 5th in A section. The winner of this section was Micheal Corsini fishing peg 2 on the bottom bank and Micheal bounced back from his disaster from last place in C section on day one to first place with 66-06 { well done Micheal }.
B section was a straight battle between Johnny Broadbent on peg 8 and Derek Hammond on peg 32 as they both caught carp and in the end Johnny just stayed ahead to win the section with his weight of 50-05 to Derek’s 41-11.
The main battle and drama happened in C section where the fish had gathered in the deep part of the lake pegs 24,26 , 14 and 16 which is where they hide when it gets cold and Middy sponsored angler Andy Quarmby defied the conditions to catch carp to double figures and smash the the lake king for 2013 with his fantastic weight for these temperatures of 214-05 .
Andy caught his carp at long range 16 metres fishing with maggots on the deck which was quite a feat considering the windy conditions and with his section win today gives him a perfect score of two points and the current lead of the festival.
The drama in this section was at the end of the match just as the all out was being called Danny Deakin hooked a big carp in which he was given the 15 minutes overtime allowed to get the fish in the net but with his elastic being underpowered he could not get it close to the bank in time and he failed by one minute to get it in the net and the fish did not count although it went 15-10.
Had Danny got the fish in time it would of affected the top of the leader board as the 2nd, 3rd and 4th anglers were only seperated by 3-03 in this section { good effort though Danny }.
The festival enters its final day tomorrow and it is still wide open for any of the top seven anglers to win the three day event so please come back tomorrow for the final results.

Thanks for reading John, Simon and Eddie.
Well done Andy great weight and good luck for tomorrow.
eddie ging is having a problem logging on mind you he is a bit thick can you put the instuctions on for him in verry simple terms no joined up writing etc if worse comes to worse will take 3 year old grandaughter round his house to help him cheers eddie hope your good
Hi John I hope you and the family are well.
What is ginger having problems logging on to.
well done andy johnny and micheal on great section wins and good to see chris up there he usually draws out of it a bit like phil seems to have done again hows gem simon hope your all good
hes trying to join as hes not joined but cant seem to manage it hes trying again now not sure why he cant manage it just thick i think its good that he cant respond so can keep abusing him
john hague i am bet you pleased you never fished the festival, delicate fishing and light feeding ain’t your game, give you 10 bags of pellets and your away
cheers for that ging nice to see youve logged on now will pick my grandaughter up now shes sorted it for you ps finese is my middle name
some brilliant bags of silvers being caught, considering the awful cold weather, and the carp are wakin up too things are on the up
Awesome stuff, Andy. Bet you weren’t expecting that after Fridays visit to peg 10!
All the best to everyone for Monday.
Underpowered elastic that’s an understatement of the century, fishing 0.9 bottom and 9h elastic for fish that run into 20lb is comical, no wonder he lost 17 !!!!
Fair play to Andy, credit where credits due he doesn’t make mistakes when he’s on em. Can I have some of that tomorrow please fishing gods lol
didnt realise lines and elastic went that low steve well done to you and derek in the spring league your due a draw tommorrow
steve your drawing is terrible, why dont you ask john hague if he’ll pop down and draw for you, good peg guaranteed
nice picture ging obviously been airbrushed see your still smarting after my 2010 lake king of the next peg to you
Drawing arm has left me for ages now, saving my flyers for White Acres mate. Game over for me but I’ll try my best tomorrow and see if I can bash a few up along the way and a bit of pride.
still havin nightmares about that evening { 16 empty pegs to your left}
thats no true ging they werent empty they were full of carp you had peg 30 empty next to you what more do you want
a white vest like yours would be nice
you need the body to carry it of ging stick to jumpers might have a spare one you can have though
Another fantastic draw right in the teeth of a freezing cold wind, surprised i actually had a bite! loved the whole of the lakes ice congregating in my peg to and drifting back and forth for three hours! Made even more enjoyable watching Andy and young Daniel getting bites ALL DAY with the wind nicely off there shoulder and ice free…not that i’m bitter about it or anything!
Oh, and a tip for Daniel…9 hollo on a shedfull of big carp at rolfs lake is only good for wrapping round a tree and hanging yourself with after the match! And the gay line is good for flossing your teeth! Lol! Hope you learnt something very important today!
Another screamer today, this time peg 36, and you guessed it…right in the teeth of that lovely ice cold swirling wind lol One perch later that was me done! Well done Andy mate, you fished it brilliant and it was a pleasure watching you sat on a millpond each day 😉 Lol
your drawing hasnt improved phil always was the worst part of your fishing
Cheers for doing the festival pegging etc its a thankless task. I think you seriously pi55ed someone off upstairs mate to get 36 and 22. It’s rubbish when that happens but that’s fishing I guess. As for 9h for 15lb carp – I’ve never see anything as ridiculous lol I did feel for him when that fish after time cost him section money he looked proper gutted poor lad. Tim nice but dim lol
dear o dear phil wat a wk end, the only good thing about peg36 is its a short walk
Well I can’t complain I drew a real flyer today 22 oh my lol. Well done Andy on winning especially off those crappers lol, only kidding, to be fair you’ve still got to catch em, credit where’s credits due.
Did you see the dust cloud I left in the car park ?
well done andy no results up yet but judging by phils comment sounds like you won it wouldnt have bet against you today
Results now up John.
