BOLDINGS REPORT 23/2/10.

 

          Dave Barnard (Rod & Gun) was the first of two winners from last week at Boldings to make top spot again this week, following up his Thursday victory with a win on Wednesday this time out.

          Dave picked Middle peg 8 out of the bag, not too promising as the peg hasn’t featured much during the cold weather. Almost any peg in the bag at Boldings can come up with the goods though, and Dave proved the point by taking carp to 3lbs on pellet, fished at 8 metres and close in, for 34-7-0.

          Runner up Carl Foster (OB Wolves)was on peg 13 on the Hawthorn, where pellet at 10 metres attracted carp to 4lbs to give figures of 32-9-0. Back on the Middle, Phil Shaw (Lower Hill) had 28-14-0 at peg 3 for third, with Gary Morris (OBW) in close attendance on 27-1-0 at Middle peg 9.

 

          Richard Lawson (Maver Midlands) took the weeks top weight for the second week on the trot when he fished through the snow showers on Thursday to net 41-9-0 at peg 3 on the Hawthorn. Richard alternated between 9 and 12 metres with pellet and maggot to find carp to 5lbs.

          Pete Ricketts (New Willenhall) found carp and skimmers with pellet at 12 metres at peg 5 on the Ash to scale 29-2-0 for second. Hawthorn peg 13 featured again when Karl Hayward (Sedgeley) put 26-9-0 in the weigh net for third, and Stuart Aston (Swan JT) had a Stock pool best of 22-13-0 in 4^th.

 

          Saturday was a hard day with temperatures of minus 3c, which depressed weights and 26-7-0 from Willows peg 16 was enough to move Pete Ricketts up to first place. It was his decision to fish the straight lead with pellet on the hook which gave him the victory, with carp to 3lbs making up the catch.

          Colin Reynolds (Bilston Ang Cent) was in the corner at peg 1 on the dam wall on the Oak Pool and fished pellet down the side of the dam to pull out 19-8-0 of small carp for second. Third man Steve Roberts (Oakengates Ang Cent) had 18-11-0 from next to the winner to finish third and an Ash Pool best of 17-3-0 gave Ken Humphries (Morgans Angling) 4^th.

 

          Steve Millward (MS Total Angling) scored a narrow victory on Sunday when the Middle Pool gave the top three weights. Steve was on corner peg 11 and worked pellet and maggot, alternating between 10 metres and close in. Carp to 4lbs obliged for a final tally of 39-10-0.

          Diagonally opposite Steve Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) offered pellet at 9 metres and close in to tempt carp to 5lbs, but finished a fish short on 37-15-0. Mark Lloyd (Telford) scaled 30-4-0 at Middle 9 for third, with Graham Roberts (OBW) exactly a pound behind him with the top catch from Hawthorn, 29-4-0.
