REVIEW

Rolfslake Match  Fishing Carp Winner

Winner: Gary Thorpe (TUB)

 

Gary Thorpe

Gary Thorpe (Ton Up Baits)

Continuing his good form following a runners-up spot in the Saturday match, Gary went one better with a win in the Sunday match from Peg 16. Noted for fishing better on the Sunday Peg 16 only produced a single fish yesterday! Today the peg returned just short of 100lb with 97lb 8oz.

With the Carp seemingly backing away from the pellet at the moment, Gary once again fed just maggot and sweetcorn. With the weather taking a turn for the colder Rolf has extended the use of sweetcorn for another 2 weeks. For the record Gary started at 14m but followed the fish to the lake maximum 16m by the end of the match.

Ian Young (Anchor MG)

Drawn on Peg 14, Ian made best use of a good draw by taking 71lb 12oz of sweetcorn tempted Carp at 14.5m over the noted bar. Ian did enough to keep Rolfslake backed Russell Alexander in 3rd place with 70lb 14oz from un fancied peg 23.

Elsewhere

Tony West (Banstead) Found sport a little slow in corner peg 4 and reverted to tempting Roach on Maggot, however Tony soon found himself into a 16lb Common Carp on a 4 Elastic, following a few missed heart beats Tony eventually landed the fish and several others on maggot to take 34lb 12oz in total.

 

Silver fish proving hard to temp in the freezing conditions. One nameless angler returned close to double figures of Roach then witnessed the £50 pools go to very thankful Mark Bowerman with 6lb of Roach to win the Silver fish match! - Still not to worry, other anglers returned 4lb Chub in a string of anglers not wishing to claim a prize in the Silver fish Pool!!
