BOLDINGS REPORT
The back pools offered some shelter from the gales at Boldings Pools and the Stock Pool gave Simon Richardson [Maver] a Christmas Eve victory after he tackled peg 3 with a maggot and corn combination. Fishing at 13 metres and close into the side Simon made contact with carp to 6lbs as he built a winning net of 60-1-0.
At peg 1 Terry Edwards [Kings] fished down the side and at 5 metres with maggot to net carp from 1lb to 4lbs which gave a total of 50-10-0 for second. Darren Wardell [Kings] was on the other side of the pool, at peg 10 where 38-1-0 gave him third ahead of Tim Kibble [Swan] who weighed
Stock peg 3 provided the winner again on Boxing Day, this time for Andy Williams [Colmic Vespe]. He dispensed with maggot to concentrate on presenting corn down the side and at 12 metres, and while the carp were generally a little smaller than on Christmas Eve, with samples to 5lbs, he had more of them to scale 62-10-0.
Runner up Danny Boden [Oakengates Ang Cent] stuck to maggot at Beech peg 17 and had carp to 6lbs together with roach to a pound for 51-8-0. Scott Doodson [Preston Innovations] had the best weight from the Hawthorn to fill third place, his 47-6-0 coming from peg 11. Back on the Stock Dave Craggs [Maver] picked up fourth thanks to 42-3-0 from peg 7.
