Rolfslake Bank Holiday Monday Open 4th May 2015

King of the lake gone twice in two days.

With today Being a sunny and warm day with the odd shower the 12 anglers were hoping that the recent good weights were going to continue and the Rolfslake carp did not disappoint today.

The winner was lake owner John Bennett on peg 7 and John briefly told me that he caught his fish at short range and quite a few double I no doubt In his winning bag of 276-02 . John also in the process claimed the peg king for peg 7 and also claimed the top weight this year so is also king of the lake ( well done John ). John had 13 weighers on the board for 205-12-0, an average of over 15lbs !!!

Today’s winner John Bennett with his weight of 276-02

In second place and also returning to the lake after a period away was Mark Chard on peg 32 by the cafe.  Mark smashed up the form guide for this peg as it had been fishing poor recently but Mark managed a great run of carp in his ever so near double ton but fell just short with his weight of 197-12 ( welcome back Mark).

Completing the frame was Ian Haynes on peg 5 and Ian put another impressive bag of fish together in his weight of 165-13.

I will add some more detail when I speak to John tomorrow.

If today’s form continues i would not be suprised to see next Wednesday’s Open or Fridays private night match delivering the first 300lb weight.

If you fancy catching big carp then I suggest you come down and see what Rolfslake has to offer.
