Colin Reynolds [Bilston Ang Cent] was the star of the show at Boldings Pools this week, following up three placings last week with four appearances in the frame, two first places and two seconds.
First winner of the week though was Eric Bancroft [Rod & Gun] who posted 132-8-0 to collect the winners purse on the Larch Pool Monday open. Pegged on number 14, Eric presented maggot and corn close to the bank to pick off carp to 8lbs.
Colin Reynolds began his run with a second spot on this match. He fished corn and pellet at peg 25 to net a mix of carp and bream to 8lbs and 2lbs totalling 116-7-0. Josh Humphreys [ABC Baits] added a third to his string of recent wins, weighing in 98-5-0 at peg 8. A level 83-0-0 from peg 16 gave Phil Shaw [PI Boldings] fourth.
Ken Humphreys [Oswestry] won on Wednesday with the top weight of the week, 154-13-0, which came from Beech peg 23. Maggot and corn was the winning bait combo again, with close in tactics finding carp to 9lbs.
Round at peg 16 Tony Foster [PI Bold] landed 79 carp to 3lbs using shallow pellet to finish a close second on 152-3-0. Third went to 144-14-0 from Matt Stobbs [Oakengates Ang Cent] at peg 7 and fourth to Dave Olly [Olly Garage] with 134-6-0 at peg 26.
Colin Reynolds took the first of his two wins on Wednesday when he drew peg 30 on the Sycamore. Corn and pellet, fed to each side of the peg brought in carp to 8lbs and bream to 3lbs, which built into a winning total of 136-1-0.
At peg 31 on the Oak Gareth Emlyn [Oak Ang Cent] caught on pellet at 3 metres to finish second with 113-11-0 of carp to 7lbs. Third also came from the Oak when Harry Colley [PI Bold] scaled 106-11-0 at peg 1 on the end of the dam, then it was back to the Sycamore for the final ‘framer’, Mick Jameson [PI Bold] whose 100-2-0 came from peg 24.
Harry Colley moved up to first place on Saturday by combining meat and pellet at peg 45 on the Sycamore. Carp to 9lbs obliged by taking the bait close in to give a level 82-0-0 for victory.
Colin Reynolds took his second runner up of the week with a mixture of carp to 8lbs and barbel to 3lbs for 75-4-0, three pegs along from the winner at peg 48. Two pegs further along the bank, at corner peg 50, Tony Foster made the list again, his 68-15-0 giving him third ahead of Wednesdays winner Ken Humphreys who had 59-2-0 at peg 36.
Reynolds was back at the top of the card again on Sunday, this time on the Willows Pool. Corn and pellet was successful once more for Colin, accounting for fish of the same stamp as those he landed the previous day, carp to 8lbs and barbel to 3lbs, which gave a tally of 119-12-0 at peg 22.
Brian Clark [Colmic] used maggot and corn at peg 8 for carp of the same size as those of the winner, but he had barbel of a slightly smaller stamp, fish to 2lbs, which left him just short of the target weight on 116-6-0. Peg 4 provided Steve Roberts [Oak Ang Cent] with a third placed 110-10-0, and next door to him Dave White [Maver Bag’em Baits] had 103-6-0.
