Rolfslake Wednesday Open 8th February 2017

Carp very active in today’s match.

Today saw another low attendance in these midweek sweeps due to the cold weather.

The day was cold with very little wind and it was decided to have a walk off match so the anglers could choose there own flyer peg for five hours.

Today was the best match of the year and a very close one from both ends if the lake.

The winner but only just was Andy Rayment on form peg 18 on the motorway bank. Andy fished a combination of waggler and long pole down the left hand edge, fishing and feeding pellet for 10 carp for 92-06.

Very close behind with 9 fish but bigger fish was John Bennett fishing peg 38. Being handicapped with a sore shoulder John opted to fish bomb only with sweetcorn hookbait, which resulted in carp to 17lb in his weight of 90-08.

In third place was me on peg 14 for the 4th time in 5 weeks so I should of done better today. Fishing maggots and corn I managed 5 carp and lost 7 for my weight of 42-03.

As soon as the matches change to pm matches watch the weights rocket and it should only be a matter of time before the first ton weight is recorded.
