The weather again makes fishing difficult down the lake.

John tells me that todays fishing was again affected with cold temperatures and a swirling wind which make pole fishing almost impossible but in first place today was lake regular Ian McCulloch.

Todays winner Ian McCulloch.

Ian today was fishing a combination of waggler and bomb from little used peg 25 on the car park bank, and Ian used pellet and corn to catch his carp and in the end put a hard earned 86-00 to not only win the match but also claim the peg king for this peg. In second place was lake owne John Bennett on motorway bank peg 13, and talking to John midway through the match he was complaining that the windy conditions made fishing the pole really hard but in the end he caught 2 carp on the pole and 3 on the tip for 52-04 with fish to 18-12.

Completing the frame and the only angler at Rolfslake who now has his post delivered to his peg was John Draper who again had drawn peg 9. John who also caught his first carp on the tip today caught the other two on the pole using corn hookbait and feeding pellet for his weight of 37-08 and an average of 12-08 a fish.

Results.

9 fished.

John has asked me to remind all the Pairs team that on the first day next Sunday they will need to pay for both the team entry and the daily pools.

Also from next Sunday the current lake rules of all fish over 10lb will need to be individually weighed and any fish over 10lb kept in keepnets will not count and any more than one 10lb fish kept in nets will disqualify that anglers weight.

Also the use of Marshmallows is now not allowed from immediate effect as it has been the cause of interferring with anglers fishing when they come off and float away taking the fish with them so please do not bring these to the lake.

John would also ask pairs teams captains to inform him if they are supplying their own reserves for the matches.

John tells me today that it was a very cold daay down the lake, with a swirling wind affecting fishing of the pole as it messed up presentation. With most of the anglers opting to use the bomb it was just a case of waiting for bites and after 5 hours in form angler John Bennett ended up top of the pile with his 3 carp to 12-08. John fished the bomb and feeder at a range of 15 metres using corn hook bait to catch his 3 carp and even missed a few bites on the waggler but it was very hard to workout what the fish wanted today and his weight was a very low 32-08 but most welcome.

In second place was John Draper on peg 9 with 3 carp for 25-08 and third was Paul Jay with 2 carp for 17-08 in what was another frustrating match down the lake.

Results.

10 Fished.
