Easter Festival Monday Day 3 2011

3 comments

25th April 2011

The Final day of the festival has arrived. With the lake fishing quite hard its hard to figure out who is gonna take the title this year. Derek Hammond is favourite before the draw, but it all depends what peg he draws in A section. A section had quite a struggle yesterday, maybe the fish will return to that end of the lake today.

Waiting for pictures etc

Easter Festival Sunday Day 2 2011

The red kite was back at the lake

 

Day 2 of the festival and the anglers were hoping for good pegs today. The corner pegs were the pegs they had their eyes on and much fancied peg 8. The weather down the lake today was not as hot as yesterday and the lake also had a bit of cool rain go in to it last night.

Fancied pegs today went to Mick Lane who always knows how to draw a good peg, he pulled out peg 4, which won the match yesterday. Peg 8 went to Pat Pritchard. Phil Powell got a better draw today with peg 2. Mick Hughes drew peg 34. Clive Pritchard drew peg 18 and Frank Hardie got peg 22.

At the start of the match there were 2 anglers flying along and that was Derek Hammond on peg 13 and Clive Pritchard on peg 18. Everyone else was catching steady.

Pegs 8 and 9 were providing John and Pauline with some entertainment today as Pat on peg 8 broke two topkits in the first 10 minutes after carp were getting the better of him in the bushes on the left of the peg. It was much the same story with Mark Malin on peg 9, he was fishing to the bush and the carp were showing him no mercy taking him on a merry tour of the lake before going back in the bushes and spitting the hook out in the nearest branch. John lost count of the amount of rigs lost after the first hour 😀

The lake is still fishing quite hard by rolfslake standards but people are still catching. Half way through the match John guessed Clive had over 200lb and was showing no signs of slowing down but in the final hour of the match he did actually start to slow a bit.

One thing is for sure though and that there will be no perfect score this year like last year. After day two its going to be anyones guess as who will win.

The lake fished hard again today. The wind had changed direction over night and was blowing up towards the big lake which might explain why the little lake struggled a bit.

Today was a day of broken top kits and sections at the lake with the fish fighting harder than ever….

  • Clive Pritchard broke 2 topkits and a number 5 on his beastmaster
  • Mark Malin Broke topkits
  • Mick Hughes broke topkits
  • Patrick broke 2 topkits and a no 4 section

Derek Hammond is looking good to take the title but you know at Rolfslake. If he draws peg 18 he will be laughing.

Hope it fishes well for you all on the last day.

Tight lines. Eddie, Simon and John.
