The Rabble

A very hard match down the lake today. The sun was shining at the start then it clouded over and we even had a thunderstorm and heavy showers. The fish were not playing ball today. I had a fish right away and then had to wait till the last 30 minutes for another fish. The rest of the big lake were also struggling with trying to get bites. The little lake seemed the place to be with Phil Powell making plenty of trips to the weigh station along with Jeff and Neal.

If anyone wants to congratulate Paul Jay on his win, you will find him on Peg 18 at Rolfs lake ready for Wednesday’s match 😀

The 2 endpegs certainly were the place to be today with both ends of the lake black with fish cruising in the sun. Paul Corsini bagged himself a PB match weight todayas well, Well done Paul.. Hopefully it will stay warm enough so the carp can get the spawning out the way.

Gary Horne Invitational Match. 12th May 2012

May 15, 2012 Simon Leave a comment

Gary Horne, fresh from Egypt.

Gary Horne has 2 matches a year down the lake and today was the first one. 23 of Gary’s friends turned up at the lake hoping for a few fish. The weather at the start of the match was quite sunny but rain was forecast for later in the day.

A nice start to the day

Getting ready for the draw

Dive in quick ...

Nick Horne does not fish the lake very often but always seems to draw peg 18 or 32. Guess where he was today….

Nick on peg 32 again 😀

The fishing today was very patchy, people would have a few fish and then have to wait ages for a bite. It was hard to put a good run of fish together. People were having to swap and change swims to get the fish. While the sun was out the top end of the big lake was black with cruising and topping fish. Steve on peg 34 was the only person catching steadily through the match.

Dave on peg 16

Looking down the carpark bank towards 32

20 minutes before the end of the match we had a storm hit the lake. The wind picked up and it rained very heavily. Everyone and everything was soaked, it lasted about 30 minute and then the sun came back up and the lake went flat calm in time for the weigh in…bloody typical.

Monday Open Match. 7th May 2012

Today 21 anglers turned for the bank holiday open match. The weather had once again taken a turn for the worse and the wind had done a 180° and the rain had started. The banks had only just dried out from last weeks heavy rain too.

All the anglers drew and there were 3 pegs left in the bag, Mick Hughes wanted what was left so that left me and Paul Glenfield. There was 8, 32 and 36 left in the bag and poor Paul put his hand in and pulled out 36, I pulled out 8 which left 32 for yesterdays winner Mick.

Fishing was from 12pm to 5pm. The all in was shouted by Paul Jay. Most of the anglers were in to fish right away but then struggling for bites for the rest of the match. Simon on peg 8 had a run of 6 weighers in the first 30 minutes adn then the wind picked up making presentation very difficult. Joff Rogers on peg 7 was having a steady run of fish throughout the match but he was being plagued by foul hooked fish which resulted in a broken 6th section on his Airity, he lost a total of 16 fish.

Mick Jones on peg 2 was catching steadily too chucking the bomb to the corner by peg 3. Just 4oz behind him was Dave Wightman on peg 34 who had more fish but they were a lot smaller in size. Phil Powell on yesterdays winning peg 6 was making the most of the fish that were still in the peg and was steadily edging away with the match helped along by a run of weighers in the last 30 minutes.

Up in the big lake Dan Jones on peg 10 was not far behind Phil but (source, John Bennett) he was spending too much time on his phone and loosing and missing bites, this probably cost him the match and certainly a ton weight at the lake but he still caught enough to take to section win, Well done. The C Section battle was between the purple plonker (Roger Young) on peg 16 and Robin Cave on peg 26. As with A section it was going to be a close finish with just 8oz separating the two. Robin just came out ahead, Well done Robin.

Phil Powell. Winning peg 6

Some of Robin Caves fish.

There's always tomorrow or Wednesday or Saturday or Monday or next Wednesday Dai 😛 😀

The only thing Mick Lane picked up today was Olly the dog 😀

Rain stops and the wind dies down AFTER the match again.
