          On the other side of the Middle Alf Taylor (OB Wolves) alternated with close in and five metres lines using pellet to finish a close second on 43-8-0 at peg 3.

          Four different pools filled the top four places on Saturday with the caster master, Pete Plant (Maver) grabbing the winners purse with a Hawthorn best of 37-4-0. Feeding caster and maggot at 5 metres and close in, Pete picked up carp to 5lbs on his way to victory at peg 13.

          Runner up Ted Ecclestone (Stafford) fished the pole at 12 metres oat peg 14 on the Ash for a level 35-0-0, made up with carp from 1 to 4lbs. Sean Barber (Oakengates Ang Cent) was best on the Deepdale with 31-11-0 for third and Steve Roberts topped the Middle card with 28-4-0 in 4^th.

 

          On Sunday the top four were all on the Ash, with peg 7 on the far bank providing the winner for Colin Reynolds (Bilston Ang Cent).

Boldings report

SPORTS DESK 13/11/07

Maver backed Dave Brown dominated the weeks proceedings at Boldings Pools, winning three of the four opens staged at the complex, and recording the top two weights.

He opened up with the best catch of the week to take the Wednesday laurels with 95-4-0, which was close on double the weight of the runner up. and nearly four times as much as anyone else on the Chestnut Pool. Dave drew point peg 32 on the Chestnut, which he plundered with a corn and maggot attack, taking carp to 5lbs at 6 metres throughout.

Joe Brennan (Rod & Gun) did his best to hang on to Browns pace, and was easily the best man on the Sycamore, but his 51-12-0 was along way short of the mark.

Back on the Chestnut, third placed Andy Williams (Telford) could catch only one fish for every four that the winner netted, and ended the day on 25-6-0 at peg 4, with Mel Kitson (Rod & Gun) close behind on 23-4-0 at the opposite side of the pool, peg 37.

On Thursday the back pools were used and the Middle provided the best two catches, and it was peg 3 which helped graham Evason (OB Wolves) to head the card. Graham combined corn and pellet at 8 metres to tempt carp to 4lbs, which added up to an even 64lbs at the finish.

Next to the winner, John Wild (Team Cudmore) fished into the corner at peg 1 for 50-15-0 to finish second. Joe Brennan recorded another pool best, taking third at peg 13 on the Hawthorn with 44-3-0, just getting the better of Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) on 43-11-0 at the next peg.

Dave Brown was back on the winners rostrum on Saturday, but for the first two hours it didn’t look as though he would make the frame. A busy final three hours at peg 9 on the Beech Pool saw Brown overhaul Wednesdays winner though, after the fish moved onto his corn and maggot feed, which he offered close in. When the whistle sounded, Dave had dropped 78-2-0 into his net, while Graham Evason saw the scales settle at 49-7-0 at peg 16 on the Ash Pool.

Back to back with the winner on the Beech, Andy Bayliss- Kyte (Rod & Gun) finished only 6 ounces behind second on 49-1-0 at Beech 5, and Ken Humphries (Morgans Angling) was a close 4^th, having overcome a 22-15-0 common carp on his way to 46-11-0 at beech 16.

Three different pools gave the top three catches on Sunday when Dave Brown completed his hat trick of wins. This was the closest encounter of the week, with one fish making the difference. Pellet and maggot did the trick again for the Maver star, offered at 4 metres this time at peg 37 on the Chestnut, and bringing in carp to 4lbs for a 47-15-0 total.

Mick Jameson put in his second frame appearance, recording an Oak Pool best of 44-1-0 at peg 29. Third went to a Beech Pool best of 36-12-0 at peg 16 by Pete Rickets (New Willenhall) and 4^th also came from the Beech when Pete Tolley (OB Wolves) scaled 36-2-0 at peg 3.

Boldings report

            Graham Evason (OB Wolves) opened the weeks proceedings at Boldings Pools with a win on the Sycamore Pool. Fishing pellet at 12 metres at peg 25, Graham contacted carp in the 1lb to 7lb range to put together 64-13-0. That was too good for Wane Mellings (Maver) who offered pellet shallow in open water, and close in at peg 32 on the Chestnut for 52-1-0. Pete Plant (Maver) was on peg 46 on the Sycamore, and netted 39-10-0 for third, with Graham Roberts (OB Wolves) on 36-4-0 at Chestnut 27 claiming 4^th.

           

            Brian and Martyn Travis (Sensas TA) put in some successful practice ahead of the Winter League to take first and second places on the Thursday open. Martyn just sneaked first with a Willows Pool best of 51-14-0, which consisted of carp from 1lb to 5lbs, caught on pellet at 13 metres at peg 13.

            Brian was on Stock Pool peg 7, where shallow fished maggot helped him to 51-8-0, which put him 8ounces ahead of Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) with a Hawthorn best of 51-0-0. Michael Harris (Sensas TA) had a Deepdale best of 35-6-0 in 4^th.

 

            Gareth Emlyn (Oakengates Ang Cent) recorded the top open weight of the week by netting 67-13-0 at peg 37 on the Chestnut on Saturday, finishing clear of Brian Clarke (BCUK) on 53-3-0 at Sycamore 13. Dave Brown (Maver) was exactly 3lbs off third with 50-3-0 at Chestnut 15, and Paul Pritchard (Shrewsbury) completed the frame with 39-10-0 from Chestnut 4.

 

            On a busy Sunday at Boldings Ben Stanford (Wolves) recorded his first win, taking top spot in the open while the Winter League was in progress. Ben drew peg 32, in the corner on the Oak Pool, and worked pellet at 6metres, alternated with maggot in the side, to tempt 47-3-0, made up with carp to 7lbs.

            Similar tactics worked for Colin Reynolds (Bilston Angling) at peg 15 on the Beech, where his fish ran slightly bigger, but less of them added up to 44-8-0. Ralph Johnson (Bilston Angling) was on peg 11 on the Oak, and netted 38-13-0 for third, just ahead of Mick Jameson, who framed again with 37-7-0 at Beech 19.
