Boldings Report 4/2/09

With the threat of snow in the air the Saturday open at Boldings surprisingly gave the top catch of the week at the complex, with point peg 7 on the Beech Pool featuring, and Dave Brown (Maver) making it three Saturday wins on the trot. Dave fished at 3 metres and 6 metres with maggot and corn, and had a total of 53-8-0, made up with carp to 6lbs.

Andy Bayliss-Kyte (Maver) was a distant second with 21-7-0 from peg 14 on the Ash Pool. He had carp to 3lbs, with skimmers, taken on maggot and pellet at 10 metres. Kelvin Emlyn (Oakengates Angling Centre) continued his run of form with a third placed 18-6-0 from Ash 18, and Stuart Aston (swan Jacks) put together a Hawthorn best of 17-9-0 for 4^th.

Dave White flew the Maver flag on Sunday weighing in 39-5-0 as the snow arrived. Fishing pellet and maggot to the paddles at peg 1 on the Middle Pool resulted in carp to 3lbs ending up in Dave’s net to give a 39-5-0 winner.

Chris Holmes (Bridgnorth AS) fished to the stump with maggot at Stock peg 11, and had better fish than the winner, with samples to 4lbs, but there were not enough of them, leaving Chris second on 28-6-0. Dave Brown was in the frame again, his Hawthorn best of 22-13-0 giving him third spot ahead of Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) on 20-0-0 at Middle peg 8.

Mick Jameson had been a winner in mid-week, taking top honours on Wednesday. Sycamore peg 7 provided Mick with his win, when carp to 3lbs on maggot at 6 metres and 10 metres added up to 27-14-0.

Middle peg 1 featured again, giving John Wild (Stafford) second place. John included roach and rudd, with carp to 3lbs in his 24-6-0. Pete Ricketts (New Willenhall) scaled 21-8-0 at Sycamore for third and R Gratton (Ind) had a level 19-0-0 at Middle 8 for 4^th.

The Larch Pool came up with top weight on Thursday when Steve Hall (Oct Boldings) netted 42-7-0 at peg 17. Maggot, in the Margins and at 10 metres worked for Steve, bringing carp to 4lbs to the net.

Matt Stockton (Ind) fished maggot and corn to the island from peg 11 on the Hawthorn for fish to 3lbs, which gave a return of 39-12-0 for second. Jack Hailey (Oakengates Ang Cent) had top weight on the Beech, 34-5-0 for third overall, and just behind him on 33-14-0, also from the Beech, was Ian Hodson (Ind).
