Boldings report

          Low Temperatures brought with them lower weights for the Wednesday open at Boldings, but it still took close on 50lbs to lift the winners purse. The man carrying off the main cash was Stuart Aston (Swan JT) who alternated fishing to the island at Chestnut peg 21, with a close in approach, to net carp to 7lbs for 48-5-0. Hot on Astons heels was Steve Hall (Oswestry) who caught carp from 1lb to 6lbs on pellet at 9 metres, to record 47-1-0 at Sycamore 8.

          It’s good to see Keith Griffin (Little Dawley) back on the bank, and in the frame, after some serious leg surgery. Keith was drawn on Sycamore 13, and took third with 37-4-0, with Tony Foster (OB Wolves close behind on 36-1-0 at Chestnut 7.

         

          Weights shot up on Thursday when John Francis (Rod & Gun) took the day off from long distance driving to put in some heavy haulage work at peg 15 on the Hawthorn.

          Corn and pellet at 5metres and close in saw John slipping the net under 91-12-0 of carp to 8lbs, to finish nearly 20lbs clear of fellow Rod & Gun man Mel Kitson. Mel was on the opposite bank, at Hawthorn 1, and used the same tactics as John for his 72-12-0 runner up.

          Next to the winner, Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) scaled 70-15-0 for third, and Dave Barnard (Maver Wolves) was 4^th from island peg 9 with 62-11-0.

         

          Phil Rhodes (Mid Leisure) headed a Chestnut frame on Saturday, combining corn, pellet and maggot to pick up carp to 7lbs at 6metres, and down the shelf at peg 37, to end the day on 69-13-0. Dave Brown Maver) also netted carp to 7lbs, fishing maggot at 12 metres and close in at peg 15, but was left needing one more fish when the scales settled at 64-8-0. Tony Faulkener (OB Wolves) was exactly 20lbs behind Brown on 44-8-0 at peg 32 and Roy Richardson (West End) was just over  pound behind him on 43-5-0 at peg 7.

 

          Weights were up again on Sunday and the peg next to Saturdays winner came up with the goods for Graham Evason (OB Wolves). He fished pellet at 10 metres and down the ledge at Chestnut 36 to find carp to 8lbs for a 92-8-0 top score.

          Mick Jameson became the only angler to frame more than once in the weeks proceedings when he slipped 82-14-0 onto the scales at Hawthorn peg 5. His fish, in the 1lb to 7lbs range, came to pellet at 6metres, and fished to the island.

          Carl Jones (Maver) just beat Ralph Johnson (Bilston Ang Cent) to third. Carl scaled 77-15-0 at Hawthorn 15 and Ralph 77-11-0 at peg 12 on the same pool. Best on the Beech was Jack Hailey (OB Wolves) on 70-10-0.
