Rolfs Lake Open Wednesday 5th April




Open Wednesday 5th April


Yippee another day off and its a Wednesday so up to Rolfs i went 

Following my trip last week I've actually done a bit of prep for today
😱😱😱

Tuesday evening saw me put new elastic in 4 top kits
and grind up some more paste
😎 

THAT'S MAJOR PREPARATION FOR ME LOL

Well onto today's session and i arrived for the second time this year nearly 2 hours early
(bet it don't last though lol)





On to the draw and with 17 fishing i let all the eager beavers dip in the bag and when i went in peg 24 in the big lake stuck to my mitt



Peg 24 Home for the day

I really pushed the boat out today and plumbed up 3 lines and 1 of those was REALLY LONG for me at top 2 + 2 to the edge of the tree on my right and the other 2 lines were as always top 2 left and right 😁

Both rigs were the ones i used last week but i had to add a couple of foot of line to each (much to Dai's disgust lol ) as they weren't long enough ( no i dont change ) lol


Rigs used today that were tied for last years Easter Festival and still going strong

Tactics today was as normal for me Pellet & PASTE and if that didn't work i had a back up plan of fishing  PASTE & Pellet hehe

At 2pm John called the all in and i shipped out on the Long Line with a 8mm pellet on the hook.

After a few movements of the float i'd had enough of the pellet so switched to Paste and missed a couple of quick bites then bang fish on πŸ˜€πŸ˜€
That was quickly followed by 2 more fish so with half hour gone i had 3 fish and guessed i had about 45lb

Then that area just died so onto the top kit lines but they were dead as well

For the next 2 hours+ i switched around the 3 swims without getting a proper bite in any πŸ˜•πŸ˜• 

Just on 6pm i finally started to get a few real bites and put another 7 Carp in the net along with 2 Bream all falling to paste before the all out at 7pm
😁😁😁


When the scales arrived my weights were as follows

2 x Bream = 6lb 6oz
6 x Carp = 36lb 12oz
4 x Carp = 58lb 2oz

Total Weight of 101lb 4oz

Which was good enough for 3rd on the day
πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€


 Today's Carp

Top 10 Results

Fed just on 3 bags of pellet today which is less than normal but never felt more feed would result in more fish
