Private Match Friday 6th September 2012.
Super Si shreds the opposition.
Today Rolfslake welcomed Gary Horne and friends down to the lake for one of their annual visit and as usual this match was well attended. John tells me that the weather was warm with a breeze blowing into the small lake where the winner of Thursdays match came from peg 2 with 180lb followed by peg 40.
The story of the match was the fish were mostly feeding in the small lake today with many anglers experiencing foul hooked fish through feeding too heavy where the current trend tends to be to feed for one fish at a time as too many in your peg cause to many line bites and false indications.
The winner today and on an incredible run was Rolfslake’s co website owner Simon Mound who today let all the other anglers draw first so he could not be acccused of being a drawbag and in the bag was peg 40 where the fish had gathered over the last few days. Now for the those anglers out there that think that Simon draws all the flyers they would be wrong as Simon has won matches this year from all areas around the lake and also with big weights on what are very simple methods and normal baits.
Today Simon made it three wins in a row from peg 40 at the bottom of the small lake and Simon just concentrated on two areas the platform of peg 39 at 13 metres where he caught some fish but when he turned around to fish the outer leg of the platform on peg 1 at the bottom of the slope the fish where there ready and waiting, and Simon caught his ususal run of fish to double figures in what was not only a great weight for this peg with his final weight of 196-05 he also took Mick Jones peg king off him which lasted all of three days { very well done Simon }. At this moment Simon is unbeatable down the lake and i would not be surprised to see another victory as he is fishing a club match on Sunday as well.
In second place was Nick Horne right at the other of the big lake on peg 22 who put together another ton weight of 136-10 and in third place was Alan Stokes on peg 30 who also caught another good weight and just ahead of fourth with his weight of 109-05 { sorry Nick and Alan i dont have any details of your methods and baits }.
Can anyone beat inform Simon Mound.
