          Maggot took over as the dominant bait at Boldings Pools this week after Gareth Emlyn [Oakengates Ang Cent] set the standard on Christmas Eve with the top weight of week, 104-8-0, which he followed up with the second best of the week for another win on Saturday.

          Peg 7 on the Beech Pool was the peg to produce the goods for Gareth on Christmas Eve, after he concentrated his feed on the 5 metre line to hold the interest of a succession of carp to 7lbs.

          The remaining frame weights all came from the Ash Pool, where the winners dad, Kel Emlyn [Oak Ang Cent] led the way with another maggot attack. Kel was on peg 14 and had his fish, carp to 5lbs, at 5 metres and close in to the side, to weigh 72-11-0.

Shane Rogers made it a trio of Oakengates rods at the top of the frame by finishing a close third on 71-6-0 at Ash 5. Pete Ricketts [New Willenhall] rounded things off with 55-13-0 for fourth at Ash 16.

 

          Colin Reynolds [Bilston Ang Cent] worked off his Christmas dinner by winning the Boxing Day open on the Larch Pool, heading a tight frame from peg 6. he bucked the maggot trend by offering pellet to tempt carp to 5lbs on the 6 metre line and at the whistle he had a level 53-0-0 to offer up to the scales.

          On the other side of the pool, at peg 26, Brian Clarke [Colmic] worked pellet and maggot, alternating between 6 metres and 14 metres to net 49-4-0 of carp to 5lbs to edge out Ben Stamford [Monkhall] by one ounce. Ben had his 49-3-0 from peg 24, and was only one fish ahead of Josh Humphreys[ABC] who ended the day on 47-14-0 at peg 16.

 

          Saturdays winner for Gareth Emlyn came from peg 16 on the Ash, where carp to 7lbs again made up his catch. Maggot at 10 metres, combined with close in tactics had the fish feeding and Gareth posted 90-0-0 for victory to seal a successful Christmas campaign.

          On the opposite bank, at peg 7, Sean Barber [Maver] worked the 14 metre line, and close in with maggot for a haul of carp to 5lbs totalling 71-14-0 which gave him second.

          Colin Reynolds made the list again, although he was some way behind second with his third placed 31-14-0 from peg 5. Over at peg 18 Paul Wheeler [PI Boldings] weighed 28-7-0 in fourth.

 

          Boldings hosted the Preston Innovations sponsored Christmas Pairs open, arranged by Scott Doodson and Steve Roberts, on Sunday when 70 competitors lined the banks.

          There was a tie on points between the pairing of Nathan Spain and Robbie Griffiths who had the same 2 points score as Simon Richardson and John Chapman. Spain and Griffiths were the winning pair with a superior weight. Their aggregate was 123-2-0 while Richardson and Chapman had a total of 101-0-0.

          Third and fourth was decided on weight after A Bennett and C Barlow tied on 3 points with Dave Lloyd and Dave Brown. Bennett and Barlow had a weight of 100-0-0 while Lloyd and Brown had 80-0-0.

          Top individual was A Bennett [Diawa Guru/Drennan NW] with 72-15-0 on long pole with maggot and pellet at Beech peg 20.

          Nathan Spain [Total Angling] fished maggot at 14 metres on Ash peg 7 to net his runner up 66-10-0. At Beech 7 |J Howarth [Tricast] had 57-1-0 for third, closely followed by Robbie Griffiths [ABC] on 56-8-0 at Chestnut 32. 

 

Happy New Year Ed and Sue.

I have adjusted the winning pairs weight as 66-10-0 and 56-8-0 doesn’t  come to 127. Hope this is OK.
