Tough day at the office.

Today saw 7 anglers arrive ready to fish a full to the brim Rolfslake and the reason the lake had not flooded was to the stirling work done by lake owner John Bennett in controlling the water level.

With most anglers having to fish on the upper platform as the lower ones were well under water most anglers opted to fish the bomb or short pole as there was a horrid swirling wind at long pole distance. Todays winner was Wayne Parker who opted to do neither and fish the top two as there was a very good depth by the platform and by fishing caster Wayne caught a very good stamp of roach and perch during the 5 hours which boosted his weight to 24-03 well done Wayne.

Today the carp we very few and far between with only 3 caught with 1 each for John B , Paul and Neil which still were not enough to beat Wayne.

John B gains the first point of the year against the Pirate.

After our battle last year which saw John come out the victor with his 17 to 12 wins { very well done John } we started our competition alot earlier than last year .

Todays match was decided on the lucky carp John caught in the first half an hour which weighed 6-08 out of his 8-13 total whilst i was plagued by tiny roach whilst a few others caught the bigger ones. When i brought my net out it looked like a sardine net with lots of tiny fish but to no avail as they only went 5-07.

The score stands at

John 1

Eddie 0

Thanks for reading John , Simon and Eddie.
