Boldings Report 29/7/08

 

          Tony Foster (OB Wolves) had the best weight of the week at Boldings Pools when he won the Wednesday open from corner peg 30 on the Sycamore. Offering pellet, shallow attracted carp to 9lbs and bream to 3lbs,  which added up to 103-8-0 when the scales arrived.

          Matt Stobbs (Rod & Gun) employed the same tactics at another corner peg on the Sycamore, peg 16. Carp and bream responded for him too, but the carp ran a bit smaller, with samples to 7lb, and he finished the match on 87-11-0.

          Colin Wozak (Telford) took third with the top weight from the Acorn Pool, 79-6-0, with Bob Tromans (Fiery Holes) exactly a pound behind on 78-6-0 at Sycamore 13.

 

          Mark Mountford (Shifnal) had another winner to add to his ever growing list when he scaled 95-5-0 on Thursday, after drawing another of the corner pegs on the Sycamore, peg 4. Marks choice of paste, fished at 5 metres, brought in carp to 9lbs and bream to 4lbs.

          Phil Rhodes (Mid Leisure) was opposite the winner at peg 48, where corn and pellet, close in attracted an all carp 77-0-0, made up with fish to 8lbs.

          Mick Williams (R&G) was in the middle of the long bank, at peg 36, and had a level 64lbs for third, and Carl Stringer (Oakengates Angling Centre) added to his run of results with a Willows Pool best of 60-8-0 for 4^th.

 

          John Francis (R&G) enjoyed his third successive Saturday win when he tackled peg 35 on the Sycamore with a pellet and corn approach. Alternating between the margins and out at 5 metres kept John ahead of the field, with carp to 7lbs and bream to 3lbs giving a total of 72-11-0.

          Harry Colley headed a trio of OB Wolves rods in the remaining places, his 60-9-0 on meat and pellet at Sycamore 16 giving him second, ahead of Dave Craggs on 55-2-0 at Sycamore 13, and Jamie Langford, with a Chestnut best of 52-5-0.

 

          Carl Foster (OB Wolves) finished off the week at Boldings the way brother Tony started it, by picking up a winners purse.

          This was a tight frame, with less than 3 lbs between the top four, and only five ounces between 3^rd and 4^th. Carl topped the card with 86-3-0, which he took on corn close in, and pellet, fished shallow in open water at peg 16, opposite the point on the Chestnut.

          Dave brown (Maver) was over on the point at peg 32 and fished at 12 metres with pellet, up in the water to end on 84-10-0. Round past the island, Andy Williams (Vespe) was less than a pound behind Brown on 83-12-0 at peg 21. Fourth man Brian Clarke (Maver) topped the Sycamore card with 83-7-0 to fill 4^th spot. Best on the Willows was Gareth Emlyn (Oakengates Ang Cent) on 72-3-0 at peg 19.

Boldings Report 23/7/08

 

          Four different pools provided the winners at Boldings this week, starting with the Middle on Wednesday, when Mark Mountford (Shifnal) headed the frame with 88-13-0.

          Mark drew corner peg 1 and opted for a paste approach, offering it at 5 metres, and close in, to find carp to 6lbs.

          Along at peg 5 on the same pool Bob Tromans (Fiery Holes) fished corn and pellet into the corner for carp to 5lbs, which added up to a second best 74-11-0.

          Andy Williams (Vespe) fished to the paddles at corner peg 15 on the Hawthorn Pool to net 69-6-0 for third and on the same pool Pete Watson (Telford) netted 54-6-0 at peg 12 to finish 4^th.

 

          Thursday saw a very similar winning weight when Dave Barnard (Rod & Gun) took the honours from peg 32 on the Chestnut. Corn and pellet, fished to either side of the peg had carp to 8lbs and bream to 3lbs coming to the net for a total of 88-11-0.

          Runner up Pete Ricketts (New Willenhall) also had carp and bream at peg 16 on the Sycamore, where he offered pellet and paste, finishing one fish behind Barnard on 85-6-0.

          Mark Mountford framed again, finishing only 8 ounce behind Ricketts on 84-14-0 at peg 22 on the Sycamore, leaving Dave Matson (R&G) to pick up 4^th with 77-12-0 at peg 4.

 

          John Francis (R&G) followed up hi week-end double of last week with another win on Saturday, putting the Hawthorn Pool at the top of the frame with a winning net of 81-2-0. John included roach to a pound with carp to 6lbs, all on pellet fished in the side at peg 15.

          Colin Reynolds (Bilston Ang Cent) was four pegs up from the winner at peg 12 where corn and pellet, alternated between 8 metres and close in gave him a return of 77-14-0, with carp to 7lbs helping him to second place. Colin was closely followed by Tony Foster (OB Wolves) who had a Deepdale best of 76-9-0 at peg 12. fourth went to a Middle Pool best of 72-3-0 by Pete Plant (Maver Midlands) and Mark Mountford had a Stock Pool best of 63-12-0.

 

          Colin Reynolds moved up a place to claim first on Sunday in a close finish with Carl Stringer (Oakengates Ang Cent).

          Colin drew corner peg 4 on the Sycamore and worked corn into the corner and out at 5 metres to pick off carp to 8lbs and bream to 4lbs which gave him a final tally of 91-8-0.

          Carl had all carp in the 1lb to 4lb bracket on shallow fished pellet at peg 9 on the Ash and was left needing just one more of the smaller fish when the scales settled at 90-11-0. Pete Ricketts framed for the second time with a third best 86-3-0 at Chestnut 21, and Mel Kitson (R&G) completed the top four with 70-12-0 at Chestnut 28.

Boldings Report 16/7/08

 

          Catches at Boldings were down slightly on last week and top catch of this week was 81-3-0, which saw Colin Wozak (Telford) grab first place on the Wednesday open. Colin combined paste and corn, fished close in and at 5metres at Beech peg 23 to pick off carp to 6lbs.

          Last weeks big winner Mark Mountford (Shifnal) found bigger carp with paste at Beech 19, with fish to 7lbs dropping into his net, together with bream to 2lbs, but there weren’t enough of them to trouble the winner, as Mark finished on 67-9-0.

          Mel Kitson (Rod & Gun) was just behind second with an Ash Pool best of 66-7-0 from peg 17 and Mick Jameson (Mid Leisure) completed the line up with 63-14-0 at Ash 23.

 

          Ed Turner (OB Wolves) is having a good run, and added a win to it on Thursday, topping the Sycamore card with 68-10-0 from peg 33. The catch included some good bream to 4lbs as well as carp to 7lbs, which all came to corn and pellet, close in.

          Eric Bancroft (R&G) also featured bream his runner up 65-1-0 at Sycamore 36. He also caught close in on corn and pellet, with carp to 7lbs and bream to 3lbs making up his weight.

          On the opposite side of the Sycamore, Neil Mansfield (Wem) netted 51-9-0 at corner peg 4 to finish third ahead of Tony Foster (OB Wolves) on 47-3-0 at peg 16.

          Best on the Chestnut was Dave Barnard (R&G) with 44-4-0.

 

          John Francis kept the Rod & Gun flag flying with a week-end double, taking the honours on Saturday from the Hawthorn Pool, and following up with a Sycamore winner on Sunday.

          Saturday saw John on peg 7 in the corner of the Hawthorn where he alternated between the 5 metre line and close in with pellet. Carp to 6lbs obliged, and gave a weight of 80-1-0 at the whistle.

          Along at peg 3 Jason Atwell (Wolverhampton) worked an 8 metre line and a three one with corn and pellet to net carp to 5lbs, which gave him 74-12-0 for second./ He was followed by another Wolverhampton rod, Dave Brown, who scaled 58-3-0 at Hawthorn 5.

          Brian Clarke (Maver Midlands) was 4^th with a Larch best of 57-13-0.

 

          Francis was on the Sycamore Pool on Sunday where the 5 metres and close in attack with pellet worked again, finding bream to 4lbs and carp to 9lbs, which gave a total of 77-13-0, which was just enough to beat Paul Hollis (Sedgley). He was over on peg 24 and stuck to the close in line with corn and pellet. He had more fish than the winner, but not a big, with carp to 7lbs and bream to three making up his 77-8-0.

          Two Oakengates Angling Centre rods shared 3^rd, with David Emlyn and Danny Boden both having 68-13-0.

Boldings Report 8/7/08

 

          Mark Mountford (Shifnal) is right back on form, and enjoyed two heavyweight wins at the Week-end, putting the top weight of the week at Boldings on the scales on Saturday. And rattling the 200lbs barrier at Aston Eyre on Sunday.

          His win at Boldings came from the Hawthorn Pool, when he fished paste at 5 metres at corner peg 7 to net a load of carp in the 1lb to 4lb range to put together a final total of 125-11-0.

          Graham Roberts (OB Wolves) was at peg 5 on the same pool, where corn at 4metres accounted for 102-0-0 of carp to 3lbs, which gave him second. Mel Kitson (Rod & Gun) had a good week with three frame placings. He took third on this one with a Stock Pool top score of 90-8-0, which left Martin Davenport (Dorset Pools) to pick up 4^th thanks to 79-1-0 from hawthorn peg 1.

         

          The Stock Pool provided the weeks first match win for Tony Faulkener (OBW) who fished pellet, up in the water at peg 10 for an all small carp 89-14-0.

          Down on the Middle Pool, Jack Hailey (OBW) worked corn and pellet in the side, and to the paddles to net 70-9-0 for second. He was matched fish for fish by Phil Shaw (Lower Hill) who was just opposite at Middle peg 11, and had 70-5-0. Also on the Middle, at peg 6, was fourth man Andy Williams (Vespe) on 65-6-0.

 

          The first of Mel Kitson’s frame appearances came on Thursday, and was the best of the three, as he topped a trio of Rod & Gun men in the prize money. Mel fished paste at 5metres, combined with corn and pellet close in at peg 39 on the Sycamore, to pick off carp to 8lbs, on his way to a level 99-0-0.

          Dave Matson had carp to 9lbs and bream to 4lbs for 92-3-0 at peg 22 on the same pool to finish in second. Eric Bancroft topped the Chestnut card with 91-9-0 for third, and Andy Williams was fourth again, scaling 82-2-0 at Sycamore 30.

 

          On Sunday the Beech Pool took a turn at providing the winning catch in a closely fought match. Pete Plant came out on top, inching ahead of a tie for second place. Pete fished pellet, up in the water at peg 18 on the Beech to find a lot of carp to 3lbs for 81-2-0.

          Eric Bancroft was in the money again, sharing second with Nigel Ball (Mosella). They were both on the Ash Pool, both fished pellet and corn for 79-5-0 each, Eric at peg 5 and Nigel at peg 14. Mel Kitson was there again, netting 76-2-0 at Ash 9 for 4^th.

Boldings report

Boldings Report 2/7/08.

 

          The prize money was well spread at Boldings this week, with no one making the top four more than once in any of the four opens.

          Top weight of the week went to Eric Bancroft (Rod & Gun) who won on Thursday with 116-6-0. Eric fished maggot and corn to each side of the point at peg 8 on the Sycamore to pick off carp to 9lbs and bream to 4lbs, and finished 40lbs clear of Dave Matson (R &G). Dave had the best catch from the Chestnut Pool, and just sneaked second by 6onces, when he scaled 76-8-0, which fell to corn on the tip at peg 21.

          Steve Davies (Oakengates Ang Cent) was the man just behind Matson. He had 76-2-0 at peg 13 on the Sycamore, to finish just in front of fellow Oakengates Angling rod Shane Rogers on 74-7-0 at Sycamore 33.

 

          Pete Ricketts (New Willenhall) took the honours in the first match of the week at Boldings, topping the ton from peg 13 on the Sycamore. Pete worked to each side of the peg , and out at five metres to find carp to 8lbs and bream to 4lbs, to end the day on 101-8-0. Over to Pete’s left, Mick Williams (Rod & Gun) also offered corn and pellet at peg 25, to take carp and bream from each side of the peg. Slightly smaller fish, carp to 7lbs and bream to 3lbs, left him 5lbs short of the winner on 95-14-0. Richard Lawson (R&G) was only a pound and a half behind Williams on 94-6-0 in third place at Sycamore 39, and Tony Foster (OB Wolves) finished off the frame on 75-6-0 at peg 33.

 

          The Ash Pool proved best on Saturday, coming up with the top two weights, with Ralph Johnson (Bilston Ang Cent) leading the way. Drawn on peg 18, Ralph offered pellet, up in the water out towards the middle, alternated with corn close in, for carp in the 1lb to 6lb range, which added up to 94-15-0 at the final whistle.

          Pete Price (Wirral) had 82-13-0 of carp from 1lb to 3lbs on shallow pellet at Ash peg 14 to finish second. Jamie Langford (OB Wolves) filled third with a Sycamore top score of 75-11-0 at peg 39, and Colin Reynolds (Bilston AC) had a Beech best of 63-8-0 for 4^th.

 

          Bigger fish clinched a narrow victory for Neil Mansfield (Wem) on Sunday, when carp to 9lbs, caught on corn, close in at Sycamore peg 24, gave him just 5 ounces to spare over last weeks big winner, Gareth Emlyn (Oakengates Ang Cent). Neil’s fish gave him a final tally of 71-9-0, while Gareth’s carp to 8lbs and bream to 3lbs, came to 71-4-0 at Sycamore 13.

          Sycamore peg 39 provided third for the third time in a week, this time for Brian Clarke Maver Midlands) who scaled 60-14-0 to edge out Ed Turner (OB Wolves) on 59-11-0 at Sycamore 36.
