Boldings Report 29/4/09

 

          Harry Colley (OB Wolves) opened up the week at Boldings Pools with the top catch of the week to win the Monday Affordable open. Meat and pellet fished to the island, combined with corn in the side, had carp to 9lbs lining up at peg 23 on the Chestnut to give Harry 113-9-0 at the whistle. Andy Williams (Vespe) used corn and maggot, close in at peg 28, for a mix of carp and bream, but was some way short of the winner at the finish, when the scales settled at 62-14-0.

          Over on peg 7 Mel Kitson (Rod & Gun) inched a pound ahead of Bob Tromans (Fiery Holes) to claim third with 47-8-0, leaving Bob to pick up 4^th with his 46-7-0 at peg 21.

          Pete Plant Jnr (OBW) headed the list on Wednesday when he put a corn based 55-11-0 on the scales at peg 48 on the Sycamore. Carp to 6lbs, caught close, made up the winning catch. Exactly 6lbs behind the winner was Phil Shaw (Lower Hill) who found his fish with corn and pellet fished to the paddles at peg 16, with fish to 5lbs making up Phil’s 49-11-0.

          Third went to Mick Keene (MSTA) with another Sycamore catch, 47-14-0, which came from peg 13, and fourth to Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) who had a Willows pool best of 32-6-0.

 

          A pair of Birkenhead raiders made off with the lions share of the coin on Thursday when Barry Bush and Chris Oakenshaw shared first place with 74-14-0 each. Barry had top weight on the Oak by fishing pellet, up in the water at 12 metres from peg 8 and Chris fished caster, shallow at 12 metres at peg 30 on the Chestnut.

          Andy Williams framed again, picking up third with 64-2-0 at chestnut 32, then back on the Oak Carl Foster OBW) had 59-15-0 at peg 29 for 4^th.

 

          On Saturday 130 rods lined up for the Fish ’O’ Mania qualifier, and it was Boldings based Mark Stevens who booked his place in the £25,000 Final, after drawing peg 15 on the Hawthorn Pool. Worm, fished to the paddles saw mark netting carp from 1lb to 4lbs, to finish on 95-14-0. Anthony King finished 8lbs short of glory with a Stock Pool best of 74-10-0, Jeff Moors (Border) was third, his 74-10-0 also coming from the Stock and diagonally opposite the winner on the Hawthorn, James Walsh had 62-15-0 in 4^th.

 

          Mark Stevens was more than a little pleased that Ian Hughes (Shimano Wales) left it until Sunday to ‘top the ton’ from point peg 29 on the Oak. He took the winners purse with 104-4-0 when carp in the 1lb to 5lb bracket responded to his shallow caster tactics, with all the fish coming from the 12 mete line.
