Rolfslake Bank Holiday Monday Open 31st May.
Firstly sorry for the late posting of this match report as there was an error with my computer not allowing me to update the website.
John tells me the 22 anglers were faced with a cold day with a strong wind blowing from the north east, and after the 3 day festival the previous weekend anglers were unsure if the fish would switch on whilst they were still spawning.
After 5 hours fishing the winner was Rolfslake regular Paul Jay who was fishing car park bank peg 22 in the corner and Paul decided to fish long at a range of 11 metres fishing on the deck using the current form bait of 8-11 mm banded pellet. During the match Paul was able to pick off fish by lifting and dropping his rig to entice bites and he caught fish to double figures in his final weight of 134-08 { well done Paul }.
Todays winner Paul Jay.
In second place was Chris Lovelock who was fishing current form peg 9 on the motorway bank. Chris fished down the edge towards the big bush to his right and by using pellet and meat fished on the deck managed to keep himself busy and have carp visiting his keepnet on a regular basis and at the end weighed only the second ton weight of the day with 110-08.
Completing the frame was Vespe sponsored Pete Archer who was fishing peg 26 by the car park and Pete fished both up in the water and on the deck at long range 14.5 metres and used big soft expander pellet to catch his weight of 87-00.
John hopes the carp will have finished their spawning by the weekend so the next visitors down the lake the Jinx league will have another great days fishing with all our friends looking forward to the presentation of the pink minx hat to Pete Morton.
