Rolfs' Diary 2006
Open Match
Loyd Moss had a fish first put in on Peg 14 and never looked like anything other than the winner. A few other anglers also caught early but failed to keep up any catch rate. Bites proving hard to come by, but an improvement on the previous weeks fishing. Loyd fished chucks of bread on the hook over 4mm hard cold water sinkers and expander pellet. Most fish today were taken on meat and pellet, but it was the lack of fish in the corner pegs that was worthy of note. With fish topping out prior to the match, the fish soon left Colin Wedgbrow and Pete Archer pulling out what little hair they have (actually, only Pete has any!) The too anglers took only 1 Carp in the five hours.
The festival is only a few days away and I'm hopeful that a few fish will be had and a few of the first double Ton up Bags will feature. Failing that, I'll have a good crack all the same. |
