Simple Match Fishing Forum

Sometimes it helps to have friends doesnt it Simple Its a shame I havent got many :(

Not sure if Dave will try to reduce the numbers this year in an effort to leave out some of the duff pegs and improve the fishing. Even if he doesnt I doubt there will be more than 4 or 5 places up for grabs. Though he might consider changing the format along the lines suggested by Gaz Malman.

yes doesnt it simple

I suspect the dates will be the 25th and 26th July. I have just sent Dave a PM for confirmation as Im about to book my club dates and wouldnt want to have to drop out due to double booking.

or 2nd and 3rd of August

DAve you memory must be going because Dave booked it up during last years match and told us all the dates

i remember, looking forward to it already! Lets hope everyone can go that was there last year aswel as some new chaps/chapesses

I was just being cautious, wouldnt want to give the wrong date. he hasnt put it on the events calendar though.

Sounds like a load o fun, I,ll have ta keep me mince pies open, just in case theirs half a chance. What venue did ya fish last year peeps??

This will be the third year. It was Rolfs in 2006 and Rolfs 2007 and oh its Rolfs in 2008. In fact its always at Rolfs

Ive got two extra Super power top kits this year already armed with Red hydro. I hope that 17lber has grown on a bit, I want my first 20 and maybe some of those big chub especially that 8lber.

Simple if I take the crumpets again this year are you going to tear yourself away from Gem for long enough to eat some this time?

Is rolf's as good as the say it is.

Of course mate
Its a great weekend down there.
I had the pleasure of been next to Dave on both days. He was well buggered after landing that 17lb'er
It was my first year last year. I did ok but think I could have done better

Its not as easy as some people think. Most of the big weights you see reported are from small opens (15 peggers) fished late in the day, which tends to help. Though draw well and do it right and 100lb can nothing special and 200lb within reach. The experts down there often do the ton in an hour. He would have to take several changes of underwear cos hes bound to crap himself.

The fish are the best cared for fish you will find anywhere. The average size must be around 7 to 8lb. Id love to see TK down there giving his knicker elastic a stretch.

Si I presume that Rolf is no longer with us. Never did hear anything after last years pairs.

Is it open to pleasure fishing or contests only mate.

Since the begining of August to mid November there were 24 matches.
5 were won with a ton plus
13 with 200lb plus
5 with 300lb plus
And one with 530lb
Lowest winning weight was 112lb 8 oz

Not bad is it

PMSL, good one

Also its an amazing site after the BBQ, go and chuck your left over bread rolls on the surface. TWO slurps and they are gone. I couldn't believe my eyes

What are your strike reaction times like. Test them here http://rolfslake.co.uk/strike.htm

The first year Rolf had half a dozen large crusty loaves which he threw in, they didnt last very long either.

maybe some of those big chub especially that 8lber

theres more than 1 8lb chub in there, When i fished next to spamwam he had 3 oover 8lb, and some 7 and 6 lb.The pike in there are in the very high 20's and dirk had a golden orf over 6lb

Tony managed to break his chub PB ( was 4lb 8oz I think) 3 times the best of them going 5lb 12oz. You must have been suffering from the effects of the alcohol the previous night.
