Rolfslake Open Day
Rolfslake Open day.
On Sunday August the 25th we will be holding a family open day down the lake , where mums dads and children and really anyone that would like to fish will be most welcomed.
It will be a fun day with a barbeque available and tackle set up for people who dont normally fish Rolfslake available to have a fish with some of the regulars on hand to give advice a tips on the methods required to catch the big carp of which there are plenty. We will need some volenteers on the day to act as coaches and stewards, please let me know if you can help
The entry is free and we are in the process of assembling a raffle for the visitors on the day so more information on this will follow. there will be hot and cold drinks, and hot dogs and hamburgers on sale. also we are hoping to have some goody bags and sweets for the youngsters to take away.
It is designed as a family day so if you would like to have a fish with your own tackle please phone John first to confirm availability .
Please phone John for more information.
Thanks for reading John, Simon and Eddie.
Any Open matches over the Bank Hol weekend?
Or can I just pleasure fish on the Sunday?
John, I have got my hands on a fine 12yr old bottle of Glenlivet Scotch Whisky which I will bring on Wednesday to donate to the raffle.
if i fish this week like i did last Wednesday i will have a fine collection of fishing tackle to donate……
Mick, could you give me a shout if my float goes under this time, i might strike quicker that way!
Last week I had plenty of time to watch your float, this week I am going to Plan D so I shall be a lot busier.
im taking a leaf out of pauls book this week….
1. have the same length line from float to pole as you do from float to hook
2. Shot your float with one number 8 and leave 3 inches of tip hanging out to avoid striking at liners……….
3. Dont use a toss pot, use a 3 pint bait tub each put in!
Works. couldnt believe my eyes but it works!
I can only assume he had misslaid his tackle so had to slide the float down on the one rig he had left, shot pinged off and he could find none on the pallet to replace it with and on striking a recent bite too hard his toss pot flew off and is stuck up a bush some where (probably peg 7!)
on conclusion, the harder you try at rolfs the worse you fish.
Relax
dont worry about your rig and presentation, if they’re hungry they’ll soon let you know!
i did find it amazing tho last week. Fish in front of me zero bites.
point my pole toward paul (same depth, same rig, same bait) only 12 – 15 foot left, bang the float shoots under!!!
go figure
At 15ft to your left you would have just been out of range of “Depth Charge Dave”!
yeah that could have been it!
Boom!
Spray, spray, spray, spray, spray, spray, spray, spray, spray, spray, spray, spray!
fish somewhere completley different!
dangerous dave is a god
