Jinx Series, Match 2. 5th June 2010

June 6, 2010 Simon 4 comments

The Jinx Squad made their return to the lake today. The weather today was very very warm and muggy indeed. The day started off sunny but the clouds moved but it remained hot round the lake.

The car park soon filled up with the Jinx members and some guests as some members were unable to fish today. The draw was supposed to be at 11.30 but as usual Malc was running late which gave Crystal plenty of time to go round and collect everyone’s guesses for the guess the weight competition. Looking back at the results I think everyone guesses were a tad high 😀

Fishing today was from 1pm – 6pm. The draw format was A section to draw first, in the order of the placings on the previous match so first in the section drew first and so on. The draw ran smoothly except when C section made their draw. Someone (BUDGIE) had put his peg back on the table with the C section pegs. People had drawn their peg but when Tony pulled out peg 40 there had to be a redraw much to the dismay of Gemma who had pulled peg 26 out the bag. Everyone drew again and Gemma still managed to draw peg 26 anyway 😯 With the draw out the way everyone trundled off to set up.

I was trying to get pictures of everyone around the lake but Malc called the all in and I had to get back to my peg sorry 😀 With the match fully underway it was clear that many were struggling with getting a bite in the big lake. Ade on peg 30 was catching a few, Gemma on 26 was fishless after 2 hours and not a lot else was happening in the big lake. The little lake was throwing a few fish up, Steve on 34 was leading the way in the little lake with both Clive on 8 and Dave on 7 catching fish from the far bank on the feeder. Also fishing the feeder was Peter on peg 36, a method used in the last few matches and proved to be very successful. Poor Jon on peg 38 was not so lucky and was having a hard time getting the carp to eat any of his pellets.

Paul and Simon on pegs 2 and 4 were having a mini match of their own, Simon was fishing the corner by peg 3 in the scum and was getting plagued with foul hooked fish and fish snagging him in the bushes whilst Paul was just having problems landing them 😀

Fish on for Paul, Will he land it ???

Most people had struggled today showing everyone that big weights do not always come from the lake and it is not an easy place to fish. The weigh in soon finished as there were 2 weigh in teams today working on opposite banks across the lake. Today’s match saw the first blanks of the series and probably not the last. Gemma on peg 26 had only managed 1-12 today so most people were safe from a MINXING ! despite that she still managed to take 3 scalps today. Terry Goff, Paul Dolby and Matt Edwards. Who would get the hat this time, only Gem knew 😀

With the results sorted Malc gathered everyone for the presentation. Pete Archer had kindly donated some prizes from Vespe today but instead of giving them to the main winners Malc decided to work from the bottom up so the lower weights all went away with something.

With the presentation out the way it left only one thing….. The handing over of the MINX hat. John Bennett called for the 3 unlucky anglers to the front and lined them up in front of everyone to humiliate them a little further 😀

Who will it be....... ?

Gem held the hat over the lads heads teasing them but it finally came to rest on Paul Dolby’s head, where it would be for the entire next match. Fair play to Paul he took it well.

Match Reports

Ashton Angling Club match 6th June 2010.

June 6, 2010 Eddie Leave a comment

Today Rolfslake welcomed Ashton A.C down to the lake from the midlands area and the anglers were hoping that the fish had stopped spawning and were willing to have a feed as the Jinx league match yesterday was really tough.

John tells me that 25 willing anglers set off to their pegs only to find the fish still spawning in the margins so it was very difficult to know what the fish wanted today either a cautious approach or to just to thrash the bait in and suffer plenty of foul hooked fish and very little to show for it. The weather was very warm with a cool breeze and the anglers with a ripple on the water did slightly better that those with flat water in front of them.

The winner today was Jay Davis fishing peg 7 in the gap between the big and small lake and Jay used a combination of the feeder and the pole to put together a very good weight of fish and big fish too catching fish to double figures in Jay’s final bag of 171-08 { well done Jay }. In second place was Andy Morrison on peg 32 by the hut who fished short range 5 -6 metres and down the edge using banded again catching big fish in his weight of 131-04. Completing the frame was Mark Bedford on peg 4 who suffered plenty of lost fish but in the end lined them down the edge to his right using pellet hook bait to catch his weight of 104-14.

John would like to thank all the anglers and hope to see them again soon.

Herbie Invitational Match. 30th May 2010

May 31, 2010 Simon 4 comments

Carp on the feed at the lake.

Herbie and Friends had the lake for the day today. 17 anglers turned up on quite a sunny day. Many of the guys had not fished the lake before and were full of anticipation after hearing stories about big weights. We had the whole lake so there was a bit of space between the anglers.

The draw took place at 10 ish and fishing today was from 12-5pm. Plenty of time for everyone to get set up. John Bennett went round and helped out the guys that needed some info.

Andy on peg 10 having a chat with John

Simple trying a bit of shallow fishing on peg 30

Orinoco on peg 13 had hooked in to his first rolfslake carp and was experiencing the power of the fish, In the process of landing the fish he managed to loose the landing net of his handle 😀 John and Pauline were on hand quickly running round with a spare net to help him.

Orinoco looking for his landing net

Lee on peg 7 had been catching well along with Roland down on peg 2. Having a slow start Dave on peg 26 had worked out where the fish were and was slowing building up a terrific weight. Larry on peg 9 was struggling but was ever determined to do his Rolfs Ton. Simple on peg 30 had managed 5 fish shallow and then got fish feeding on a 5 meter line. Dave bull down on peg 24 had a cracking start on the pellet waggler fishing in to the middle of the lake but had lost the fish as the sun went off the lake.

A special Mention goes to big Ron on peg 28 who had foul hooked a carp. It had taken him round the bush to his left and then under both platform legs and out the other side towards Simples peg. He did some magic elastic waggling and somehow managed to get the fish from under the platform adn round the bush and back in to his peg only to land it. To say I was amazed would be an understatement 😀 Well done Ron

Paul catching a few on peg 14

With the match over and the weigh in complete it was clear that the first timers had caught plenty of fish and were impressed with the lake. The weights were also impressive with Roland down on peg 2 managing a fantastic 181-8. This was also good enough to give Roland the Peg King for peg 2. Dave on peg 26 had been catching plenty of fish, enough to give him second place with a great weight of 172-12. Completing the frame was Lee on peg 7 with 148-12, Lee had the luxury of fishing peg 7 on his own as peg 8 never got drawn.

Thanks for the invite Herbie, was a good match and I actually caught some much needed fish on the day too. Great bunch of lads, nice to meet you all.

After the Match Gem had a go on my gear and managed 4 carp, here is a short video of her in action, minus the pink hat 😀

Match Fishing Scene 3 day Festival. 27th-29th May 2010

May 31, 2010 Simon 3 comments

Church007, Festival organiser.

Martin had arranged a 3 Day festival over at Match Fishing Scene. Banter on the forum had been building up about the Welsh beating the English so who would come out top after the 3 days ??

Most of the guys fishing the festival were also camping over at the lake. Thursday morning at the lake it looked like some gypo’s had moved in and set up camp 😀

Thursday morning saw glorious sunshine after Wednesday nights torrential rain. 24 anglers all gathered for the draw at 12am

Hi de hi campers

The campers woke up to a sunny morning.

Everyone gathering for the draw

Budgie and Dave Moore

John Bennett refreshing everyone with the lake rules

With the draw done everyone had plenty of time to get to their peg and set up. Fishing would be from 2pm – 7pm. The match format was 3 sections of 8 anglers. Section A was pegs 2, 4, 6, 7, 34, 36, 38 and 40. Section B was pegs 8, 9, 10, 13, 28, 29, 31 and 32. Section C was pegs 14, 16, 18, 19, 21, 23, 24 and 26.

John Bennett was going round helping people with their pegs, giving them info on how to fish it but some people were just beyond help it seems.

Fred Parker on Peg 9. Should have gone to spec savers 😀

Church on peg 19

Ian McCulloch on peg 26

Budgie on peg 31. He was peg king for all of one day 😀

Day one has seen some good weights from around the lake while others were struggling. Chris Telling was having a blinding day on peg 7 catching on corn and paste at 14.5 meters. Down in C section Pellet King and Jonny B had been catching well, Pellet King catching shallow on 6mm banded pellet to take the section. B section had been won by Nick Merry on peg 13 catching long and short in the margins and 14.5m shallow.

Day 2

The anglers moved round the lake for day two in to the next section. Expectations were high for some good weights today as previous festivals 2nd day always through up some high match weights. With the draw at 12 and fishing from 2pm – 7pm again everyone had plenty of time to set up again.

Despite all the expectations the lake had fished harder on day 2. Two double tons had still come from the lake though, Phil Powell on peg 31 had fished a blinder on a peg he did not fancy after drawing it. He had to fish hard for it though, fishing at 16 meters shallow on banded pellet. Second double was from Pete Archer on peg 9 and was just a few fish away from beating Phil.

Mick Lane had won C Section fishing shallow, in the margin and 5-6 meter line on banded pellet. Pellet King had fished another excellent match in A Section fishing shallow again and in the margins.

Day 3

The weather for the final match had turned for the worst, gone was the sunshine replaced by clouds and rain. Wet weather gear was going to be needed today 🙁

Church cooking his brekkie on the final day

Fishing today for the final match would be earlier. The draw at 10am and fishing 12-5pm. This is to allow people to get away earlier after the presentation. With the draw done and everyone on their pegs setting up in the rain people were hoping for a good days fishing to finish the festival off in style.

Day 3 had fished hard again with only one double ton coming from the lake today. BBQ master Baz Wrexham on peg 34 had bagged up fishing a 5m line on corn winning A Section. B section was won by event organiser Church on peg 8 fishing 16m, down the track and in the bush on his left all with corn. C Section was won surprisingly on peg 21. Kerb Crawler had denied all the odd and produced a winning weight fishing the margins again on corn proving to everyone there was some fish down there after all 😀

Festival Winner Pellet King

A big thank you to Martin for arranging a superb festival. It was great to meet up with old friends and meeting new ones. The whole event ran smoothly.

The lake was also left how it should be. All littler, fag butts and sick was cleaned up 😀 Thanks to everyone for keeping the place so clean. this will ensure future events like this one can carry on to take place.

On a side note. Simon and Budgie were having a mini battle and Simon lost 2-1 to Budgie. Well done mate 🙁

Saturday Open. 22nd May. 2010

May 22, 2010 Simon Leave a comment

Little Horsey on the mend

Todays open turned out to be on the hottest day at the lake so far this year. On arrival carp were seen to be spawning around the lake. Also thousands of tiny roach could be seen flitting around the surface meaning that the roach must have also spawned.

10 anglers turned up today to fish in the blazing sun. After the draw John Bennett only had one thing in mind when drawing peg 16 and that was to regain his peg king title that Mick Lane took from him on last Wednesdays open match.

He managed to do just that as well along with Geoff and Ginger also taking the peg king title too.
