Boldings report
Boldings Report 25/08.
The rough weather on Sunday seemed to stir the fish up at Boldings and Gareth Emlyn (Oakengates Ang Cent) put more than double the Saturday winning weight on the scales. Fishing corn and pellet, close in at peg 7 on the Chestnut saw Gareth netting carp to 10lbs on his way to the weeks best total of 141-5-0.
Ed Turner (OB Wolves) also had the fish going well at peg 33 on the Sycamore. He fished pellet at 4 metres and corn over pellet close in to find carp to 8lbs, ending the day on 111-8-0. Third man Eric Bancroft (Rod & Gun) wasn’t far off the ton with 96-2-0 at Sycamore 30, and an Oak best of 75-9-0 saw Harry Colley (OB Wolves) frame for the second time, having finished third the previous day.
The mid week matches gave tight frames, with 2lbs being the difference between the top two on Wednesday and less a pound and a half on Thursday.
Wednesdays winner was Graham Evason (OBW) with a mix of carp to 6lbs and bream to 3lbs, caught on corn and pellet at 8 metres from peg 25 on the Sycamore.
Andy Williams (Vespe) had bigger carp, fish to 7lbs, but smaller bream, up to 2lbs, at peg 8, fishing maggot and corn close in. Those smaller cost him, as he finished on 73-5-0. Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) had 65-3-0 at peg 13 for third, and mark Mountford had top weight on the Willows, 56-15-0 at peg 13, to finish 4th.
