Rolfslake Wednesday Open 31st August 2016
Carp go on a feeding frenzy in today’s match.
Today saw a much better attended match with anglers hoping to catch one of the recent bumper weights.
With the green algae still evident on the water surface it seems to of triggered the carp to feed.
Continuing on from his win on Monday Andy Quarmby won today’s match from peg 14 on the motorway bank.
On talking to Andy he told me that he has never had so many carp in his peg at Rolfslake and lost quite a few today.
Andy started at 6 metres and caught a quick 50lb at the start but with the peg fizzing like crazy Andy came in on a top 2 plus a short 4 and his catch accelerated.
He fished on the deck fishing a 8 mm pellet on the hook feeding 6mm and caught 21 carp and 6 bream for a winning weight of 221-07 (well done Andy ).
There was a battle for 2nd from Frank Donachie on peg 18 and Martin Worrell on peg 34 which was won by Frank with 181-01 to Martin’s 166-03
Todays winner Andy Quarmby.
