Rolfslake Saturday Open 3rd November 2012.
A super hard day down the lake .
Today the anglers were greeted with a hard frost and cold weather which put the carp totally off feeding , and with the anglers hoping to catch at least one carp in a match carp carp lake wasted far to much time for no end result.
The winner today was Steve Waters who would of won the match without the 15lb carp he caught just before the end of the match because he had already caught nearly 14lb of roach and skimmers fishing worm and maggots and he believes had he not wasted time trying to catch the carp he could of caught near to 30lb as there were plenty of silvers out there. After 5 hours Steve weighed 28-15 and beat his nearest rival by 20lb { well done Steve ].
In second place was Mick Chapell fishing motorway bank peg 18 and by fishing long down the edge towards peg 19 he managed to keep puting silvers into his net and one big perch of 2-08 which on a day like today was a big bonus in his weight of 8-03. The three way battle for third was eventually won by Adam Griffiths on peg 13 with his two big bream helping him to his final weight of 6-03.
