SPORTS DESK
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 (
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 4th, 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 4th also came from the Beech when Pete Tolley (OB Wolves) scaled 36-2-0 at peg 3.
