Miracle man continues his good run of results down the lake.

Tonight 16 anglers returned to Rolfslake for the 6th night match down the lake and all the usual suspects were in attendance, and as usual they managed to draw all the flyers leaving the rest of the anglers to play catch up.

With the weather today being sunny, warm with very little wind to cool the anglers the all in was called at 8pm and what was evident tonight was a slow start for the anglers in the big lake but the anglers in the small lake were having better luck with Wez on 38 Simon on little used peg 3, Matt Edwards on peg 4 getting regular action but for the rest it was a struggle which is a surprise for there were lots of fish cruising whilst it was light. At 10pm John turned the lights on and the anglers in the big lake started to catch short as the fish came closer in.

The winner of tonights match was Miracle sponsored angler Matt Edwards who was fishing peg 4 down the bottom of the small lake and Matt was having a peg to peg battle with Simon Mound on peg 3 and also seeing who could lose the most foul hooked fish in the night .

Tonights winner Matt Edwards.

I believe Matt was fishing a line down the right edge and a line out in front using pellet hookbait feeding pellet catching fish to double figures but not as many as you would usually catch from this peg but after a hard fished five hours put 134-03 for another win down the lake. Hot on his heels was Rolfslake’s form angler Simon Mound who was fishing on peg 3 { my second favourite peg on th lake } and Simon had a very frustrating first half of the match as he was playing tug of war with the carp from the left hand bush but a change to fishing a 5 metre line straight out using pellet feeding pellet brought him a good run of fish to double figures and a few smaller carp for his weight of 104-13 and 4 carp off the match win which was within his reach as he lost 22 carp tonight.

Completing the frame was Paul Jay on would you believe it peg 8 so for the first time in months his tackle had to be moved from peg 18 and a new rig had to be made. Paul fished two lines the bush to his left and a straight out line down the track and Paul caught carp and silvers fishing his 8mm banded pellet for his weight of 85-06.

A side story to Pauls match was on hooking a carp his hook pulled and his float got stuck in the bush so Paul grabbed his elastic and started to pull which you should never do and was rewarded with his float being released from the bush straight into his hand. His second mistake was using a Walker float as they are quality made and dont break so went in quite far and looking for some help asked Dave on peg 7 for some help , and i think Paul was expecting Dave to count down from three but Dave grabbed the float and pulled it straight out { not very clever Paul and very dangerous }.

Results.

16 fished.
