Black Bull Angling Club Weekend match.

Today Rolfslake welcomed back Black Bull Angling Club from the Sheffield area to fish their two day match which they normally fish annually. After the recent good weights the anglers were hoping that today the fish were going to have a go but with a very warm day and very little breeze most of the anglers found it quite difficult.

The winner of today’s match was Ray fishing Wednesdays open winning peg 4, and Ray had to work hard to keep the fish coming and after five hours put 124-12 0n the scales for a deserved win {well done Ray }. Hot on Rays heels was Wally on peg 9 who had 108-04 and third was Jack Trew who was fishing peg 32 by the hut who caught the only other ton weight with 100-08.

Results day one.

As the anglers got ready to draw today the weather was again warm but with a breeze coming from the south and it also helped that it was also overcast which normally helps the fishing.

John tells me that the anglers had a much better day with fish being caught all around the lake and the winner today was  Wally who had a great day fishing peg 30 on the car park bank ,and he enjoyed not only fish to double figures but a very well earned winning weight of 206-08 { well done Wally }. In a very close match on the next peg was Judd who was matching Wally fish for fish but just fell short with his weight of 200-08. Completing the frame was Jack Trew who was also in the fish catching area on peg 8 and he also enjoyed a busy match catching across to the far bank but he fell two fish short of his double ton attempt with 181-12.

Results day 2.

Rolfslake’s night match 25th June 2010.

Rolfslake just as the sun was going down.

Match reporter Eddie T-Green.

With lake owner John Bennett starting the first of the 2010 evening/ night  matches the anglers were hoping for a continuation of big weights that followed fron last years matches. The set up for these matches were very simple you drew your peg at 6.30pm and fish 7.30 to half past midnight, with the floodlights being switched on when it got too dark to see your float.

As the anglers gathered at the draw it was actually nice to be able to fish this match  as i was able to finish work on time for a change. With only the big lake in for this first match the anglers were not too fussed where they wanted to draw as long as they were near a floodlight, but that was not a problem as John and Pauline to great expense had got lots of lights to go round the lake.

With the anglers having drawn their pegs there was only one left for me and as i took it out and turned it over peg 23 was my challenge for the night but it was also going to be a challenge for John as he was next to me on flyer peg 22 and he was going to get the usual stick that goes when we fish together. As Paul Jay called all in i returned to my peg got my top kit filled my cup full of bait went to ship out and could not find my number four section which John had said he heard drop in , smelling a rat i could not believe that he continued fishing whilst trying to stop himself from laughing as he had put my number four section inside the number five { nice one John 1 nil to you }. The smile on his face was wiped off 1 minute later as my paste rig settled then buried with a nine pound carp coming out a couple of minutes later. Around the lake the anglers on the carp park bank were all catching with Mark Chard on peg 32 catching more than most but was concious that Neil Riddy on peg 9 was keeping up with him, and for the next couple of hours fish were being caught from all around the lake as the fish were getting confident feeding late into the evening. At around 9.45 just as looking at your float was near impossible John turned on the lights ,and i can tell you it was no different that fishing in the daylight as each swim had its own light except Mark Orchard who had two one for his swim and one pointing directly into my eyes {thanks Mark}. For the rest of the match many carp were caught and many were lost in what was a really enjoyable match under the stars and it is really a challenge playing fish to 19-00 in the dark when you can’t see them .

In first place today was Mark Chard on peg 32 by the hut who had his son for company, and Mark fished the bush to his left just down the first slope ,fishing on the deck using red meat for hookbait. Mark fed fairly heavy to keep the fish in his swim and was rewarded with many fish to double figures in his final weight of 253-04 {well done Mark }. Just to show how many fish were in his peg Mark allowed his son to have a go and in ten minutes caught nearly more than Geoff and John. In second place and giving Mark a good run for his money was Neil Riddy opposite on peg 9 and Neil fished the paste just in front of the bush to his right and again caught big fish in his weight of 229-04. Completing the frame was Wednesdays open  winner Mark Newbold who was amazingly fish just one peg off were he caught his massive weight in midweek. The funny thing Mark told me was that Paul Jay was feeding the bush to his left on peg 28 and Mark would fish to the right of it and steal Paul’s fish from him. After five hours Mark had just kept in front of the chasing pack with his weight of 176-00 and his second pick-up in a week.

After the match the anglers were served a lovely barbeque by Pauline and John helped also by Gemma Doyle which the anglers thoroughly enjoyed and they would like to say thanks to both for a really enjoyable evening.

John will be holding a few more night matches this year so if you would like to experience fishing with a difference please keep an eye out for the next date which will be posted shortly, places are limited due to the number of lights available and the health and safety that is required with so many anglers around the lake.
