SUNDAYS 3RD ROUND PAIRS MATCH

I have thought long and hard and after much dicussions have decided to go ahead with the section changes on the remaining rounds of the pairs match. it makes a much fairer, anglers will know what part of the lake they will be fishing and can plan there tatics in advance. it will give every angler a chance to fish the better section.

The sections for sundays match will be decided on the day with a toss of a coin a fair and simple way of doing things, i advise each team to have the correct bait and tatics for one person to fish in A section.

There is no discussion on this.

I WAS VERY DISSAPOINTED AND ANNOYED AT THE TATICS AND ACTIONS OF PERSONS IN THE LAST ROUND, THIS IS NOT THE WAY WE DO THINGs, WE ALL HAVE A LAUGH AND A JOKE BUT WHEN IT GETS TO THIS LEVEL IT IS OUT OF ORDER AND PORTRAYS THE LAKE IN A WAY WHICH IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I WILL NOT TOLLERATE IT AND WILL TAKE NECCESARY STEPS IF IT CONTINUES.

Roaming Rods Club match 3rd February 2013.

 

Today Rolfslake welcomed the Roaming Rods as the first club down the lake this year and the 18 anglers were hoping that the fish were eager to have a feed as on Wednesdays match it was a major struggle. The weather today was cold and dull but with very little wind which help the anglers wishing to fish the pole and the anglers fishing the top part of the lake from pegs 16 round to 26 were rewarded with carp and a few more were lost as well as the carp were grouped tightly in the big lake.

Todays winner Fred Brown was able to string a few carp together for his weight of 84-07 closely followed by Dave Simpkin with 75-09 straight opposite on peg 22 so it made for a good battle between the two and Fred Parker had the top weight in the small lake with 21-00 from peg 7 so things are hopefully looking up for the next round of the pairs match next Sunday.

Rolfslake Easter Festival 2013

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT 3 MORE ANGLERS HAVE PULLED OUT OF THE FESTIVAL. MAY I REMIND ANGLERS AND VISITING CLUBS THAT WHEN YOU BOOK IN TO A FESTIVAL OR A MATCH YOU ARE MAKING A VERBAL CONTRACT OR AGREEMENT TO FISH AND CANCELLATION AT SHORT NOTICE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, IN THE EYES OF THE LAW I COULD SEEK TO RECOVER LOST REVENUE CAUSED BY THESE ACTIONS ( I AM GLAD TO SAY MATT SMITH IS SENDING ME £24 TO COVER COST OF 3 DAYS PEG FEES) HOWEVER IT STILL IMPACTS THE OTHER ANGLERS FISHING IE; THE OVERALL PAYOUTS, LIKE ME I AM SURE THEY WILL FEEL ANNOYED AND LET DOWN BY THESE ACTIONS. I AM DETERMINED NOT TO LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN, AND IF AND I MEAN IF THERE IS A FESTIVAL NEXT YEAR,  NAMES WILL NOT BE ENTERED ON THE LIST UNTIL I AM RECEIPT OF THE PEG FEES FOR THE EVENT ON A NON RETURNABLE BASIS (EXCEPT IN VERY SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES) THE REMAINDER TO BE PAID 14 DAYS IN ADVANCE OF THE EVENT OR YOUR NAME TO BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST, ALSO YOUR PLACE IN FUTURE EVENTS AT THE LAKE MAY ALSO BE CONSIDERED THERE ARE NOW 6 PLACES AVAILABLE

Three mad men go fishing.

 

With the lake frozen over again and the weather forcast predicting -2 degrees and snow John, Paul and myself must of been totally crazy to attempt fishing in such difficult conditions.

John had got the areators running so there were two areas of open water and we decided to fish pegpegs 31, 30 , and 28 not too far from the tea earn.

The story of our 4 hours fishing was John was in to a good stamp of roach straight away fishing single and double maggots fished over groundbait at both 4 and 10 metres and even managed to catch a 4lb bream and lost a couple as well. John weight was 11-12 which apart fron the bream was all roach and it made up for his DNW last Sunday during the pairs match ( well done John ).

 

As for me I fished the majority of the day fishing long on the deck using 2 and 3 maggots again getting plenty of bites but as I was using the wrong elastic I bumped far too many roach and even bumped two carp for good measure and in the end weighed 4-12. Fishing in Pauls swim was much slower but he still managed to catch roach and perch and he tipped back an estimated 3-08.

It was an enjoyable few hours down the lake but really cold and we agreed if we had got some fresh live red maggots we would of caught a lot more as the maggots today were frozen and motionless.

I was not asleep I promise.
