Rolfslake Wednesday Open 29th August 2012
Super peg 16 comes good again.
Today Rolfslake welcomed 3 of the 4 Drennan Knockout cup semi finalists which is due to be fished down the lake very soon which swelled the attendance for this match. The angler were greeted with rain at the draw during the match and at the end so a good set of waterproofs were the order of the day as it was relentless and also very cold or was it i was totaly soaked.
The story of the match was it was the usual slow start with a few fish being foul hooked and lost in the big lake and a few fish being landed in the small lake but i think a combination of rain, a stiff breeze and a full money put the fish off their normal feeding pattern so it was tough going for a few of the anglers today.
The winner today was lake regular Mick Jones who had drawn super 16 on the motorway bank the scene of last weekends capture of lake king by Simon Mound with 360-11 so Mick was very hopeful of a good days fishing and today was not disappointed. Mick started down the right hand edge but was plagued with silvers attacking his bait so after and an hour and a half adjusted both his rig and his fishing line to a 5 metre straight out line feeding pellet and then had the carp lined up. Mick caught fish to double figures which seem to hang around this peg and by using i am sure both meat and pellet hookbaits both fished on the deck it helped Mick amass his great weight of 168-00 on a difficult day {well done Mick }.
In a close battle for second saw Micheal Corsini { who has spent most of the school holidays down the lake } and Simon Wilsmore { Milo } where on pegs 13 and 24 in the big lake and Micheal just managed to sneak second due to his bigger weigher fish which gave him 138-06 to Simons 127-08 in what turned out to be a good practise session for Simon’s forthcoming semi final.
Todays winner Mick Jones.
Second today Micheal Corsini.

Well done Mick. Not a tea bag in sight, you feeling ok hehe
Even I felt bags would be out of place on Peg 16. The only ones I used were Tetleys, in my Tea break cuppa’s!
I would have weighed more but 4 Roach and 3 Perch “vanished” from the sivers net (I even had to use the landing net on one of the roach.)
Roll on a week Monday for my next visit, hope all goes well this Monday.
Well done Mick you beat all 3 of the superstars and Micheal top fishing.
Cheers edd and well done again mick
Mike, what times the draw on Wednesday? I should be out this week, work permitting.
Mark, Paul told me last Weds that Monday 10th is 1pm Draw so I would suspect Wednesday will be 1pm as well. Get packed up and weighed in and you can just about make it before dark falls.
Just looked at the up coming match list which shows it as 10am draw, so definate confirmation required.

Take peg 10 out of the bag for me please Mick…
