Matchfishing Scene match 27th June 2009

The Red Kite at Rolfslake

Today Rolfslake welcomed Matchfishing scene for another match in their championship series and with 23 anglers fishing expectations were high for a good days fishing.

After Phil Powells 329-00 winning weight from Wednesday's match the anglers were hoping the fish wanted to have a good feed today. The weather today was overcast with rain expected and very humid ,which does not help as the fish just cruise around making fishing difficult.

The winner today was Vespe sponsored angler Chris Telling who was on peg 26 on the car park bank and he fished his favoured long pole fished on the deck and using soft paste. Chris feed regular to keep the fish interested which resulted in double figure fish visiting his landing net, and after five hours he had put together a super weight of 209-08.

In second place was Ian McCulloch who was fishing newly re-built peg 8 between the small and big lake, and he fished 16 metres across against the far bank grasses where the fish like to hide. Ian fished banded pellet catapulting pellet across to keep the fish there and this resulted in a mixed bag of carp and silvers and in the end was only one fish short of Chris with 201-04. Completing the frame was Jon Walker ,who was enjoying a good run of frames and today was no different. Jon was on flyer peg 4 in the small lake and fished both up in the water and on the deck using both banded pellet and meat, and he also had fish to double figures in another big weight of 190-12 and just one fish of another double ton.
