SPORTS DESK.
There were plenty of big bags of fish at Boldings again this week, with ton up nets winning all bar one of the matches.
The week kicked off with a win for Neil Mansfield (Wem) who took top spot from a peg on the Sycamore which hasn’t produced to many winners over the past couple of years, number 50. Neil worked each side of the corner peg, with pellet in the margins, and put together 96-12-0 of carp to 9lbs.
18 pounds behind the winner was Mel Kitson (Rod & Gun) who fished corn down the edge at Sycamore 36 for 78-8-0 of carp and tench. Further along the same bank, at peg 42, Tony Foster (OB Wolves) kept his run of form going with a third placed 71-13-0, and in 4th was Alf Taylor (OB Wolves) at peg 30 with 57-15-0.
Three different pools each produced a ‘ton’ on Thursday to give the top three frame weights, and Alf Taylor moved to the top of the list. He was on Ash peg 14 and offered pellet close in for carp to 8 lbs and bream to 3lbs, which added up to a final tally of 113-2-0. Over on the Chestnut David James (Storeys) also presented pellet, alternating between fishing to the island and into the sides at peg 21 to put together 109-11-0.
Colin Reynolds (Bilston Angling) led the way on the Oak, taking 106-13-0 from peg 16 to finish third overall, ahead of Dave Barnard (Maver Wolves) on 97-3-0 at Ash 7.
On Saturday Dave Craggs (OB Wolves) combined worm and caster at peg 25 on the Sycamore to stay ahead of the field, and included carp to 12lbs in his card topping 115-0-0. Runner up Jamie Langford (OB Wolves) tempted the fish at point peg 8 on the Sycamore with corn and caster, taking carp and bream from each side of the point for 93-6-0. Only 4lbs behind Jamie was Dave Brown (Maver Tipton) with a Chestnut best of 89-2-0, leaving Tony Faulkener (OB Wolves) on 85-15-0 to complete the top four from Sycamore 4.
The Rod & Gun based Williams boys stole the show on Sunday, filling first and second places, each with 100lbs plus. Mick picked up the winners purse thanks to 117-14-0, made up with carp to 11lbs and bream to 4lbs, all on maggot, fished into the side at Sycamore 24. Andy also fished maggot close in at peg 27 on the same pool, to net carp and tench for 106-15-0.
Gareth Emlyn (Oakengates Ang Cent) beat the rest on the Chestnut to take third overall with 96-1-0, which put him just in front of a tie for 4th between Pete Plant (Maver Tipton) and Richard Lawson (Rod & Gun) each with 94-8-0.
